Free Gift?

A few months back we received a magazine in our mailbox that we didn’t sign up for. This is what we saw:

Shape mag

I edited out the rest because this is a family blog and Vanessa Hudgens in her underwear just isn’t family blog appropriate! Anyway, it isn’t a High School Musical star in her skivvies that bothers me. If I was going to start getting a random free magazine, it’s gotta be “Shape”? I’m telling you right now, I’m all for being physically fit and everything, but at this point the only shapes I’m interested in are round. As in pie and cheesecake and pizza. Sad but true. Mmmmmm…. cheesecake. The other weird part is that this magazine isn’t addressed to us, it’s addressed to the person we bought this house from. 5 years ago. I mean, we still occasionally get junk mail for the former owners, but a magazine subscription?

About a month after we started getting our free Shape magazine, we started getting another free magazine. Was it something a little more accurate to our demographic? You tell me:

latina mag

Yep, we’ve been getting a free subscription to Latina magazine for the last few months. The other weird part is that this is who it’s addressed to:

That’s right. My husband is getting a free subscription to Latina magazine. I find this extremely hilarious. So every month when it arrives, I place it lovingly on his pillow, so he can peruse it at his leisure.
