Did anyone ever talk you into doing something that you kept saying no to, basically just because you were being lazy? And then when it turned out good, did you thank them for talking you into it? I bet you didn't, and you should, because you know if it had turned out crappy, you would have been beating them senseless with the "I Told You So" stick...
Well, my wife and I needed to go to the fair (small town, small fair) to see some pictures that our friend Amy had entered in the photo contest. We realized this at 6:35, as I also realized that I had not clipped the free entry coupon from the paper at work, and that it would probably be 5 or 6 bucks to get in, even though we would be there 20 minutes tops.
To make a long story longer, after much convincing, we left, we got two papers, cliped the coupons and raced over to the fair to make it to the gate right at 7:00. The coupons worked (saving me $12 bucks) and we got to see the pictures, including one of Amy's and our friend Nate's with honorable mention ribbons, and a friend of the family with a 2nd place ribbon, and it was all free.
And you know what I did? I said thank you to Abby for making me get off my ass and running to get the papers and making me go to see the pictures, because there were really some outstanding shots. Think about that the next time you are laying in to someone for talking you into something that blows up in your faces...
