I have officially pre-ordered my 2006-2007 Stampin’ Up! Idea Book and Catalog…two boxes of them to be exact! That’s definitely one of the demonstrator perks…being able to order things early. I have also viewed a few of the new stamp sets and hostess sets…I know that this is so we’ll be able to pre-order and have samples made up and stuff…but it seems like torture. It’s like Stampin’ Up! is telling us, “We know you’re excited to see the new catalog, so we’re going to let you order them a month in advance…oh yeah, and we’ll show you seven or eight of the new sets…and that’s all you get for another month.” I’m sure with all of the craziness that the summer brings it’ll fly by!
Speaking of summer…our pool is open…we swam yesterday…and I guess the chemicals must be right because neither one of us has a rash or anything! It’s so fun and by far my favorite part of our house! Now we’re in the market for a reel for the solar cover. I had no idea how heavy those damn things are…and how uneasy to fold up they are. I think the pool store people just love to see us coming…we’re probably the most clueless pool owners they’ve ever met!
Boy oh boy do I feel like I won the lottery! I went grocery shopping last night to pick up a few things before my aunt arrived…she lives in San Francisco, so I had to buy all kinds of water and fruit…stuff Californians eat. Anyhow, I also had to get a few things for Larry and I for our regular weekly groceries. One thing I needed was lunchmeat for sandwiches. This is where the deal part comes in. For some reason, the baby is hungry for bologna…I don’t usually eat bologna, but I’m not going to question it. So I find out that the store has bologna buy one get two free. Two. For free. When you buy one. That’s the best kind of deal in the world! I was already going to buy one, and suddenly I get two for free. Well hold on tight, because it gets better. The one package of bologna was only 99 cents. I’m looking at getting bologna for 33 cents a package…and it’s not expired…must be my lucky day! This is where the best part comes in…the cashier rang up my stuff…and she said it didn’t ring up the bologna right…so she’ll override and subtract the two dollars for the two packages that were supposed to be free. Well happy day for me. The grocery store actually paid me…one dollar…to take that bologna.
I apologize for my lack of postings the last week. My aunt has been battling breast cancer for two years now, and things took a drastic turn this past week. I am sorry to say that she lost her battle early this morning. We have been visiting with her the past few days. I have had an extreme lack of motivation to post because of this situation. I hope things are on the way back up. In other news, Larry is working on a re-design (yes, again) that will knock your socks off. That’s about all for now. I hope to get back to this regularly real soon.
People I don’t take seriously? Adult men with car seats in their backseat…and Insane Clown Posse stickers covering the back window. Yeah, there’s someone who’s children I don’t want my kids hanging out with.
Courtney: You’re full of shit.
Larry: I’d rather be full of shit than full of stupid. Like you.
Uh. Um. Thanks honey. Just the thing to say to your hormonal, pregnant wife. Way to follow it up with “Well your Indian name would be ’she who bitches all the time’.”
I keep telling myself that he doesn’t intentionally set out to tick me off…but on days like today, I’ve got to wonder.
Signed,
She Who Bitches All The Time and Is Full of Stupid
Note to the guy at the bank: Charging $7 to cash a check when you aren’t a bank customer is their policy. It’s their rule. No amount of arguing and bitching will change their policy of charging to cash said check. All you accomplished is belittling a very nice lady, and making yourself look like an asshole. If you wanted to cash the check without having the charge, perhaps you should have gone to your own bank. Would that not have been easier than holding up the entire lobby for ten minutes so you could tell her all the reasons why she should cash it without charging you? Didn’t you notice that she didn’t care that it was drawn at that bank? You aren’t a bank customer…the check writer is….therefore you are subject to a $7 charge. My favorite part was when, after ten minutes of complaining, you demanded to speak to the bank manager…boy oh boy were you surprised when she told you that she is, in fact, the bank manager. Found out real quick that she has the final say in charging or not charging you, huh?! Don’tcha just hate when you make a scene about talking to the boss and turns out that you’ve been bitchin’ your head off at her for the last ten minutes? I probably would have just left and went to my own bank…but not you…you stuck around to get your check cashed…minus the $7 check cashing charge, of course.
A customer was calling her daughter to come pick her up and give her a ride home…she ended up getting her husband on the phone…she told him, “Please explain to her where I am and how to get here…and tell her to leave right now…tell her to just leave and don’t be dickin’ around.” Don’t hold back lady….say how you really feel.
