The most recent dumb purchase was two Christmases ago we had this little gift exchange thing at work where you buy a gift and pt it in a pile and you pick a number and either pick an unwrapped gift or you pick an already picked gift from somebody else. yada yada yada.... Well everybody usually just buys a gift that only they would want so nobody would pick it and you end up getting stuck with some bunk gift.
We are supposed to pay $50 and the company matches $50. So I thought I was 15 years old again and got it in my head to buy a skateboard. Didn't realize how much weight I gained since my high school days and how I am not invincible anymore. I think I got on the skateboard once or twice and now I am too afraid to start trying some of my old skate moves because I think I am going to break my neck or crack my head open ala Natasha Richardson.
