Friday Five: Personal advantages of the financial crisis

October 10, 2008 By: Suzanne Moshenko5 Comments

You no longer have to sit through someone’s long, detailed description of their kitchen remodel.

You now have a solid excuse to cancel your gym membership.

You get to rediscover the knock-off magic of Old Navy.

You have always secretly loved In-N-Out burger more than sushi.

A nap is now considered a viable leisure activity due to its thriftiness.

More Friday Five:

“Five things that creep me out.”

“Five things I love that are English”

    Listening to the detailed description of someone remodeling their kitchen counting as a financial advantage made me laugh. Another one for me is not having to hear about all the deals people are finding online shopping.

    Yep Old Navy sure is good, my sister use to live in New York and she would regularly send us clothing from there.

    Oh, Suz, you and your little lists. I love them! It’s no wonder you were drawn to McSweeney’s.
    I myself was thinking along the lines of kitchens, with this twist – ours badly needs to be redone, but now the pressure is OFF. And by pressure, I mean, I am no good at making all of those choices! So we’ll just suffer through my 40-year-old, painted-over one for now. It gets the job done. And it’s ours, dammit!
