Dear Land’s End,
Please don’t take this personally. I don’t like confrontation so I am going to make this short and to the point….please stop coming to my house! I know you come to me because it is more convenient for me having a small child and all. You come without me even asking for you to come, I don’t even have to go anywhere! You just show up. You always seem to know when I want to waste some time during Tyler’s nap and just mindlessly flip through a catalog featuring you, one of my favorite brands. Sometimes you show up in full force with a 50+ page catalog and sometimes you show up in a more mini size with only aroudnd 20. Either way is fine with me – I will always flip through multiple times, flag pages with 100% cotton clothing goodness that you know is my weakness, and devise a plan as to how I can get that $25 dollar t-shirt to fit into my budget this month that you tell me I just MUST have!
But this has to end! The truth is, I can’t afford you! If you would like to send me a catalog featuring your overstocks then we can talk and spend some time togeather….but otherwise, we must part ways. I know, I know, I have found a few things of yours on sale @ Sears I have been delightfully happy with and I smile every time I put them on! Not many articles of clothing make me much happier than yours! And I have upon occasion been able to squeak out a full price item here and there…but when you visit, it only makes me want more, which then makes me go to my Bible and read Matthew 6:28…
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.”
So Land’s End, I hope you can see why this needed to be said. I know Craig has tried to end our relationship before by throwing catalogs away before I ever got to see them….sad but true. But since I am home now all the time, you always come directly to me…and it’s not that I don’t appreciate the effort, it just needs to stop. Now that you have come out with your “performance sport” active wear line and you now feature a “fit 1, 2 or 3″ in women’s clothing to make it all the more easier to get clothes to fit the way I truly want them to fit…I don’t know that I can take all that temptation and still stay within my budget! I mean how many fleece tops does one truly need!?! And why do I need to get your super cute and super cumfy looking women’s performance sport pants to work out on my ellipitical – I am in my own home – it’s not like anyone sees me – I could work out naked if I wanted to - I don’t – but I could – so I think you can see why our relationship needs to end. I just don’t think it’s healthy. You will always hold a special place in my heart and I wish you the best of luck in the next consumer’s mailbox/home.
With Love and Admiration,
Your Little Cotton Lovin’ Consumer, Diana
