I started thinking back in time as I was carrying that huge steam cleaner box out of Target on top of my shoulder and came to the conclusion that everytime I buy something for myself, I have to buy her something. And everytime I buy her something from Target, I can never get help out (I suppose that is beside the point).

It is like a tax. Like I should add on a percentage on top of my personal purchases.

So here I sit watching the NBA playoffs and there is this huge steam cleaner sitting in the middle of the room irritating me.

Taunting me.
