If it's hidden in my cupboard, did I really buy it?

I like you're thinking. ;-)
 
I searched my house for my 29 Minutes cookbook b/c my host wanted a recipe from it. I was able to find the recipe here, and ordered that cookbook with my June show.

Last night my computer had a meltdown (literally!) and while cleaning around my computer, guess what I found?

Told my recruiter that if she doesn't have that cookbook, she does now!

LOL Intrepid... been there done something similar to that!

Thanks, Tracy... I was trying to hide a few things from the hubby! I think it worked!
 
I've had guests tell me they keep their shopping bags in the car trunk and sneak a bag into their closet every once in a while so the hubby doesn't realize how much they've spent.
