I am a slut for free shipping

[susandennis]

There is no good reason for it. I know better. I am smart and savvy. But, I swear to god, offer me free shipping and my wallet just flaps open and the money just flies out.

I have visions of the marketing meetings at my favorite yarn supplier's...

"Hmmm, it seems that Susan Dennis has not purchased quite the obscene amount of yarn that we had her projected for this year. We need to fix that... Ideas? Anyone? Anyone?

Ah, yes, the old standby... Free shipping. I'm sure that will work. Ok, let's send out an email. I'm now taking bets - let's go $10 on meantime between hitting 'send' on the email and her order coming in.... People, people!! Come on now.... We'll go for 5 minute increments and the first hour is now gone."

I have good yarn for about 4 more afghans already sitting in the living room. Should I run through that, I have crappy yarn stashed throughout the house that could be made into afghans. Does this stop me???? Heck no! There's a new color in my favorite yarn - grape. Plus, I banged up my favorite needles so I need another set.

Whoever had their money on 7 hours and 25 minutes took the pot. Time zone diff plus they sent the note after I went to bed.
