Deb Needs an Intervention

Last night at the after dinner drink party of which only me, Paula R and Deb attended, Deb really scared me. We were talking about the 2 sisters who got thrown out of Filene's Basement forever because they returned to much and Deb started laughing hysterically and confessed that yesterday she had to use the whole couch to lay out all of her receipts for returns. The whole couch!!

Then, she whipped out of her purse a receipt from Macy's that had 7, yes SEVEN pages stapled together. It started with the original purchase of 5 bathing suits (it was 9 oclock and all the dressing rooms had lines Deb said), the the return of 4 suits and additional purchase of something. Then the return of something and purchase of something new, 7 times!! I told her she can never go back to that store again.

Can you image the poor fool at Deb's credit card company who has to tally all this up? And then on the way out to our cars Deb was getting all juiced up because the Land's End kid stuff was on sale at Sears. Uh oh........

Book Review See Jane Date, Melissa Senate

Sometimes it seems like if you've read one "last single girl standing looking for Mr.. Right" book, you've read em all. And I'll admit, I like this sort of book. See Jane Date is about a 20 something gal who is an aspiring editor for a book publisher (Irishbelle's dream job) and not only is she looking for a prize manuscript but a prize man. Thus brings up one of life's dilemma's what's easier to find, a good book or a good man? I'll go with the book. Anyway, besides being an aspiring editor, Jane is looking for man, specifically because her cousin is getting married and naturally she needs a date for the wedding.

Although this book is somewhat predictable, it was still entertaining, funny, and enjoyable. What else do you want in a summer read? I don't think you will ever find this on a must read list, but it's a nice read for poolside or beach front.

Also, this is published by Red Dress Ink, who apparently has published a slew of this sort of book. If anyone knows anything about Red Dress Ink, let me know.
