|  Got A Good Story
I just had to share this one. I'm still laughing at myself. I have a good friend whose birthday is Monday, so I decided to get her a gift certificate for a massage. So I take my lunch hour yesterday to go (way) across town to get the GC. The receptionist asked me if my friend had been there before, and they pulled up her name. Since she was already a member, I could save money by getting the GC for her, which sounded good to me  . However, when the receptionist looked some more, my friend had 12 visits left on her pass that she had not used yet  . Yes my friend is a busy person, and got sick a few months ago, but not using 12 visits to get a massage ???  Needless to say, it did not make sense for me to spend money on her for a massage. Well, it just so happened that I was getting ready to leave, (wondering what gift I could get her now) and I saw a flyer that the agecy was raising money for breast cancer. On next week, they are having hour-long massages for $35 (instead of the introductory $49), and $10 of it goes to the Breast Cancer Society. So you know where this is going -- yep, forget the friend ! I took the money I was going to use for her, and got ME an appointment for a massage next week  . Maybe I needed it more than her anyway. The way I look at it, I treat myself with a gift each time I lose 25 pounds, so that will be my 75 pound gift to myself. I just need to make sure I lose 2 more pounds, LOL. As far as my friend -- well, there's always next year for a gift, but this time, I'm taking care of me  !! She'll be all right; she wasn't expecting anything anyway. And I'll be all right too, as soon as I lay on that bed and get my tensions massaged away !!!

Hey way to go. Sounds like you need it more than she does. It is great that you reward yourself. Not a bad idea at all. When I get to goal I am going to treat myself to something good. Not sure yet. Hope you enjoy the massage. Best friend gift I ever heard of. lol

Great story! Seems as if it was "meant to be" with how it all worked out. You get to treat yourself AND you are helping the Breast Cancer Society, can't beat that!
