Lulu Wisdom

Yes. It was me you saw among the thousands of crazies who lined up in downtown Hamilton this past weekend hoping to get a deal on what is normally ridiculously expensive active ware. In my defense though, my girlfriends and I waited no longer than 45 minutes to get in (we went Thursday right after school, which seemed to work out marvelously), AND how could anyone pass up $25 compression socks sold for just $4 lousy bucks?! Really, it was the dinner afterwards with my friends that I liked best about that day. I have wonderful friends, no doubt about it.

Anyway, my purchase came with one of those nifty re-usable Lululemon bags... I'm sure you've seen one at some point or another. It's bold red and white logo can be seen being carried by trendy girls at colleges and universities across the country. Even if they only bought a headband, carrying this parcel holder somehow says something about them. It tells people they're fit, they care about their physical health. What I think it says about them is they paid waaaaaaaaaaaayyy too much for a sweater or headband or pants or shorts just to have a little "status". Maybe I did the same thing this past weekend. No, I definitely did. At least I can find a little comfort in the fact that mine was 50% off ;).

But back to the bag. I've seen it a thousand times, but never really paid much attention to its details. Turns out this shopping bag is more than your average bag. This bag is very wise and fortunately shares some very valuable advice for those who care to read. I think the words printed on this bag are pretty motivating, if not inspiring. I am going to share the advice printed on this bag with you here....

Don't trust that an old age pension will be sufficient.

Communication is complicated. We are all raised in a different family with slightly different definitions of every word. an agreement is an agreement only if each party knows the conditions for satisfaction and a time is set for satisfaction to occur.

Do not use cleaning chemicals on your kitchen counter or floors. Someone will inevitably make a sandwich on your counter.
