Saving Money, Thanks to Creepy Flirty Guy

Very busy weeks ahead, graduations, a 5K, cross-country travel, and yet another attempt to summit Mt. Everest. And a book to finish on top of all that! I am also getting into prime walking form by regularly walking Rufus. (Yes, I do do that anyway, but now there's more motivation.) We were walking to buy a celebratory greeting card today, and I told myself that if I found a good card, I would reward myself with a refreshing iced mocha from Starbucks. HOWEVER, upon walking by said Starbucks on the way to the card shop, I saw that Creepy Flirty Guy was there. That made my decision easy. There would be no iced mocha for me, no lounging by the Starbucks table for Rufus. I went straight to the card shop to get my celebratory card, and then Rufus and I headed straight home. As I was practicing my super-fast, 5K power walk, I reflected . . . I wonder how much money Creepy Flirty Guy has saved me over the years. I wonder if the economy would be better if there were more creepy flirty guys. Maybe I'll write to Obama.
