Been posting alot this morning about honesty. Helps me to realize, still, that lying is/was a huge character defect of mine.

I was at Wal-mart the other day. Had to write down some prices for things for work. Didn't have a pen. Was standing at the pharmacy and looking at the pens in the container.

First thought: Put the pen in my purse, nobody will know.

Second thought: Ask if I can borrow it.

Third and final thought: I asked if I could have the pen because I needed to write down prices. I wouldn't be bringing it back because I was running short on time.

The lady laughed at me and gave me the pen.

Man, is this a recovery extreme!!?? And I still feel like I should return it!!
It's a freaking PEN!!

UGH!!
Missy
(bet I still return the pen!)
