Vic's New Addiction


Vic is now the person hiding where she is going.  She seems very aloof at times, and not being very specific on where she is going or where she is at.  She disappears for 2-3 hours at a time and when I see her, its "look what I made."  She finally confessed that she have been hanging out at the scrapbook store!  I pressed her more for this women only secret society.  She couldn't reveal much because of  the secret handshake they must indoctrinate all their new members into when they join the club(maybe the glue they sniff makes them forget stuff?)

I stopped by the store to scope out what was going on and this what I saw.  All the things you need to make the more beautiful post, greeting, or anything card in the world.  They have all the stuff!  Paper, Circuts, presses, cutters, stickers, and glitter.  Yes glitter, that stuff women put in their hair and makeup to make themselves irresistible to their man!  Shelby call the glitter "The Herpes of the Craft World"?  I really don't know what that means, but I have noticed that more often than not, my wife looks irresistible because of the glitter, or is this hiding her addiction.  All glitter aside, I finally found out at least the other "man" was a bug, and glitter was the result of this addiction called card/scrap booking.

I was talking to her and she said, look a did this card and all I had to do is pay $1.00 to do it.  Let me get this straight, they give you 0.15 cents in material and you spend hours putting a card together, you provide the labor, and they get a dollar.  I have to rethink by business model?  What a scam...  Great profit center.  This all took place before Thanksgiving.  The night I was there Rachael was (young girl that Vic had become friend with) was up selling Black Friday to Vic.  Rachael was saying you have got to be here for Black Friday.  Vic kept repeating I'm out of town, but I could tell she was ready to get up Friday morning in Toledo, and drive 3 hours to see what they had on sale.  (thank goodness she didn't)  I don't know how many hours she has been at the store but now I can tell where she has been by checking for glitter in her hair and eyes.
