for a laugh... or for some good advice...

I sent the following segment from an email I wrote to my sister-in-laws. It's about negotiating spending money for an upcoming girls weekend. "Some" of my sisters (in-laws) thought it was funny, "some" did not, but maybe you will....

When negotiating with your hubbies for fundage$, you'll get what you want if you say (don't ask) it with a smile : ) and start out high, then negotiate down to what you really want... Make sure your dollar amount either starts or ends with a 3 because you can say Threeeee with a smile. Try it. Threeeee :). 16 and 20 are also magic numbers that can be said with a smile, but then your hubbie might get suspicious when you propose a strange dollar amount. Negotiating right after dinner when he's full and happy also helps. Good luck!

I'll bet you wouldn't have guessed... or would you?...

I thought I would add a link to an article I wrote for a magazine blog... enjoy.
