Math Is Not My Strong Suit

Me + Math = no bueno.

Even with my math deficit, I still somehow took AP Math classes in high school. I’m not quite sure how I passed calculus, and when I got to college and had to take a statistics class I didn’t think I was going to make it. I’ll play poker but I don’t want to figure out the chance of getting an ace of spades.

So in honor of the Girl Math trend, I’ve invented some math of my own.

KK’s Math:

Shopping math: If you return clothing you made $200 and if you buy $100 of stuff you still made $100 profit.

We’ve all been there. You buy a bunch of stuff online in a variety of sizes, get it all home and try everything on, then return everything except for 1 item. (Just me?) Is it not the most amazing feeling when you walk away from the register and they tell you your refund? And then, you can shop around, grab something else for a small cost and you still leave the store ahead. Win win.

Mom math: If your husband goes golfing for 5 hours, you are entitled to an afternoon of “solo mom time” away from the kids.

Employee math: If you work until midnight, you can gift yourself that time back on Friday afternoon.

Hey’s what’s fair is fair. Time is time.

Gas math: If you spend a million dollars on groceries, you can celebrate that you save $1.00/gallon on gas with your rewards.

That $5 head of lettuce was worth it.

Exercise math: If you exercise for 45 minutes you earn 4 hours of cocktails.

That’s just good planning right there.

HomeGoods math: If you don’t buy it today, it will be gone so GET IT.

This theory has proved to be successful thus far. Sidenote: a brand new HomeGoods opened up in our town and it is amazing. It is filled with everything Christmas and I’m having a hard time controlling myself.
