A funny little NSV

At the JCPenney store where I work, we celebrate Valentine's Day by filling a gift bag for each associate with treats. Some associates give cards, some give candy. On February 15th, I brought home my gift bag, pulled out the cards, and stashed the candy (including some chocolate hearts) in the closet where I accumulate stuff to give to our local food bank.

Then I forgot about it, until a few days ago when I was looking for something else in that closet.

So, did you catch the NSV in that story?

I forgot I had a gift bag full of candy (including some chocolate hearts) for three whole months!

Jean

P.S. - and the bag of candy is still intact today!

I recently went to a conference where lots of vendors have dishes of candy on their tables. I used to sneak as many as possible while trying to not look too greedy or too piggy. This year I wasn't even interested.

Thank you! I hope reading Bandwagon helps you as much as writing it helped me.

And if you ever think of buying another copy, for a friend or your surgeon or whatever, please buy it from me, not Amazon (because I make only a few pennies on each Amazon sale).

Isn't that great??? I also find I can just walk by stuff that used to call my name, or have just a bite and be happy.

In the bad old days, if that chocolate had even made it home with me, if I had been able to put it in a closet, it would have been crooning to me all day, all night until I ate it all!

I did get the NSV, immediately, because I have the same affliction. I am still working on mine. Most of the time...not interested. But just about the time I think I can have stuff in my house I couldn't previously, I find out I'm wrong, and have to give it away. Working on getting where you are. Kudos!
