What's a Buttons Worth?

This past Saturday I set off to JcPenny's to spend the $10 coupon they sent me. I had many ideas on what I could buy and started putting scenarios together. As I walked in the Store the thoughts of a new Dress wouldn't leave my mind. I finally found this 2 piece Jacket and Skirt that I just had to have. So I proceeded to look for my size..there were only three on the rack size 10..12..16. The size 12 (I don't like trying on clothes at the store and a size 12 is my average size) which is the one I wanted was missing the Jacket. I started to think that a dress was out of the question when I decided to go try on the 10 and to my sweet surprise it FITS (I will not be washing this in the case that it decides to shrink)LOL! As I was buttoning up the Jacket I realized a button was missing! UGH! With that little glimpse of hope I walked up to the Register and showed her the missing button she proceeded to show me the extra button attached to the Jacket and asked if this was o.k. I was taken off guard and suggested a 5% discount she gladly accepted with no hesitations I paid for the outfit and was on my way.
Now anyone would be happy with this deal... Not me I have been disgusted with the words that came out of my mouth " 5%" What was I thinking!? Why didn't I just ask what she could do?, A bigger discount or I could of asked if they could have someone sew on the button for me. No I ask for 5% = $1.75 are you kidding me!? Which brings me to my Question...What is a missing button worth? This way I can be prepared if this happens again.

I think it's worth more that a mesely 5% ... it's hassle to have to attach a new button ... even if the button is provided. I don't know what I would ask for next time ... 15%?

(it was cute!)

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann

I have finished Callies pajama bottom's. Yea! I have also made Andrews bottoms complete with pockets. And now I only have 6 1/2 pairs to go. How cute are these? I found the Christmas tissue paper at the dollar tree and then took one roll of toilet paper wrapped it up with the tissue paper added the cute little sayings and ta da! You have a cute gag gift. We are using these for our cast party tonight. They are having a white elephant gift exchange and I thought these would be fun. I also bought hangers from the dollar tree and I am going to download these days of the week tags and package them together for another gift. What are some other gift ideas? I need four more presents. Merry Christmas! I wanted to get you something different, Something special for this year... It is always such a challenge to buy for those that you hold dear. But when you see this special gift, I know that you will sigh... It’s a special tissue just for you, To pat your booty dry! Just Thinking of You! I w
