I stole something yesterday

Yes, I hate to admit it, but I did steal something yesterday. But you see, it really wasn't my fault! (do you notice this theme in my blog lately of not taking responsibility for my actions?)

I was in the doctors office and next to me on the table was the October Rachel Ray Everyday Magazine. I am leafing through it and right in the middle is a little tear out booklet with a week full of recipes. Complete with one of those handy shopping lists. They are pretty much ALL good recipes. So I sit there, thinking about how I really just want to tear out this little booklet. I try to rationalize why it is ok for me to take the booklet home. And finally I end on it still being "stealing" as innocent as it may seem. So I decide NOT to take the booklet out.

But here is what happens and why it is NOT my fault!

I keep turning pages and all of a sudden... BAM! The booklet falls right into my lap. That is right, It falls out of the Magazine. I decide at that moment that it is meant to be that I take the booklet with me. And so I did. Ok, ok, actually I ended up taking the whole magazine. ;P (I didn't want some other reader to be disappointed when they see there is supposed to be a booklet with 7 recipes and a shopping list, and they can't read it!)

So I am going to hell in a hand basket.

But here is how I am making it better so that the booklet/magazine wasn't stolen in vain. Tonight, I am making one of the recipes from the booklet. Cross your fingers that Karma doesn't kick me in the booty and we end up with burned pork chops.

At the beging of this post I was thinking...shoot, I would have just taken the whole magazine. And that is exactly what you did! I wish we lived closer. We could swipe magazines together :) LOL!

That is too funny! I "steal" things out of magazines in the doctors/dentists office all the time. I, too, always feel horrible like I've committed such a huge crime. I'm glad I'm in good company :)
