I just want to remember this feeling forever.
Today my dear husband bet $5 on something that was so stupid to begin with that I was going to forgive him the loss. I'm online, the Overstock.com page open right in front of me, and he doesn't believe me when I tell him they're offering $1 shipping on furniture. Now, this ought to inspire some thought about the level of trust in our relationship, but I was simply amused.
Then ten minutes later I get an exceedingly gleeful email AND an explosively happy phone call from him going "nyah nyah nyah, you didn't read the fine print, you owe me five bucks!!"
Aw shucks. He got me there. Moral of the story - repeat after me, class - always read the fine print.
Also, try not to skip words while reading the fine print. Especially important words like "not". It turns out the fine print says something like: "$1 shipping is not (THERE'S THE WORD!) applicable to orders consisting solely of books and music." Poor hubby no see the 'not'. Poor hubby think he got me.
So this is me doing the happy dance - nyah nyah nyah, bam chicka bam bam.
Now I'm definitely collecting the $5.
