Thinking past it

The other day I received the shirt that I had ordered from The Territory Ahead. It was too big, so I started packaging it back up to return. It came in one of those indestructible plastic shipping bags that many clothing companies are using these days instead of cardboard boxes. I would have had to destroy the bag to get the original shipping labels off. Lori saw me puzzling over what to do, walked over, grabbed the bag and turned it inside out. Presto.

In general, I consider myself to be a very good problem solver, but sometimes I just think myself right past the simplest solution. Lor is really good at those when I overshoot.
