"men are dogs so let's just shop"

IT IS OFTEN SAID, MEN ARE DOGS. I’m not sure I agree, but there are definitely a few out there. And when you come across one *or when you leave one* , what this equates to is …. yep… some retail therapy. I’m excited to be going to Hong Kong, which is, afterall, coined the Shopper’s Paradise. Although, I do have a problem… I checked the “carry-on only” option (because I didn’t want to be lugging around a huge suitcase - but more so because I didn’t want to pay the extra few dollars..haha. Call me stingy, but that’s how I get rich). I guess if I pack very lightly (only essentials), then I am entitled to buy everything else….right? 

Which reminds me of something my dad said… 

*I guess I’m taking it out of context, but whatever* 

So, I was speaking to my Dad on the phone and I told him that I’m going to Phuket - to which he had a pretty nasty reaction to. He part yelled, part croaked out (my dad has a super husky voice from over-screaming .. like in this instance) ”Why? It’s DANGEROUS…no!” To which I replied, “Because the tickets were cheap!” Sounds logical enough to me. And then comes the golden phrase - 

"Cheap! Cheap! Cheap! Every time CHEAP. What are you saving your money for??"  

*DING*   

*Ahhhhh…..*   

So yea, my point is, my dad gave me an epiphany! Like they always say, the older the wiser. What am I saving all my money for?? A rainy day? A just-in-case-something-happens day? As unbelievable as it sounds, yes, I do often overthink and overanalyze things. I’m always thinking What if?  

So ladies, with our wallets open and credit cards out, let’s toast to this new-found power and forget about men for a while….let’s all shop.
