Sweatbands!

For the past couple weeks, my husband and I have been on a quest for inexpensive sweatbands. This is because we recently started playing tennis, and neither of us have ever been much into sports. Just as we were about to go out and play for the first time, we looked at one another in our not-very-athletic shorts and t-shirts and decided that the only thing that could make us look more ridiculous would be sweatbands. Therefore, we needed sweatbands.

Initially, we expected to be able to acquire said sweatbands for $1 or so each. But there weren't any sweatbands at the dollar store. Nor were there any in Claire's or Ardene. Even in Play It Again Sports, they only had wristbands. We went all over the city and though most places carried wristbands, only a couple carried sweatbands. SportMart and SportChek. Both for about $5 each. This was significantly more than we were willing to spend on a joke. So we didn't get them for the longest time.

But then yesterday, it was a swelteringly hot day. We were sweating pretty badly and we weren't even playing tennis yet. We decided to just go out and get the damned $5 sweatbands. We'd been everywhere and even Walmart didn't have sweatbands for any less than $5. So we bought them from SportMart, because there's a sales associate from SportChek that is just so unpleasant to be around. Then we went out and played some tennis.

Despite looking pretty ridiculous, I must say, I was glad to be wearing my sweatband in the hot weather.
