Bragging Rights

I've always felt SOOO compelled to brag about the bargains I get instead of the expensive BS I buy because, bottom line, I don't BUY expensive BS. I always hear women saying "I have a Prada like that at home!" or "These wonderful shoes were on sale for $250!" and I cringe. I cringe BADLY when I hear these things because I can't fathom spending that much money on just one sole item. I like having lots and lots of shirts and jeans and bras and socks and coats and shoes....so obviously, being a teacher, if I want these things and lots of them, they won't be expensive.

Anyway, the point is...one year my New Year's Resolution was to just accept compliments on my clothing and to NOT disclose the wonderful bargain I got on it! So, for example, I wear a dress to dinner with friends. One says "Oh! What a cute dress!" I'm only allowed to say "Thank you!" not my typical response "Thank you! I got this for $8 at TJ Maxx!" I just needed to allow a compliment to be given and just accept it...period.

So....this leads me to this video. I saw this just now on a friend's Facebook page and had to watch it because he's a funny guy...figured, if he's posting it must be worthy of watching. HILARIOUS! I love it! Not only do I love the whole concept for the song, but I love the scenery, the cussing casually thrown in and I love the beat! Catchy stuff....peep it out, why don't you!?
