You see, my Mary, being her usual self has drug me along to the mall. She knows I hate malls, but, I go with her just the same.
You have to know my Mary. She does nothing without a purpose. She took me to the mall under the pretense of returning a previously purchased gift for her youngest, (and yes this was true), but, she had ulterior motives.
So, here we are. We pull up in front of the store and slap on the hazard lights. Now, mind you, this item to return is quite big. This is a dresser from J.C. Penney that is contained in a box.
You should also know this dresser or bureau as some folks may call it was supposed to come with a mirror. Now, we knew, as soon as it rolled up onto our doorstep this was not what we wanted. I mean, how the hell do you put a mirror into this package? Is this a new design from Samsung? How do you roll a mirror into this small, but heavy package?
For you women out there, I think you already know the answer...You take it back. Hell no, there is no way I am going to give the gift of a "dresser in a box" to my child...and so...we returned the container.
OK, so, Mary has not given herself away at this point. I mean, we have pulled into the "fire/loading zone" in front of J.C.Penny's. I have sh-logged into the store to see what are the terms and conditions for returning this item.
I approach the customer service counter and plead my case...he politely signals for me to wait in the 'queue' that I am in and I should await further instructions. This was not going to happen...at least not today. Mary was waiting for me and I was not about to make her wait further. I was her prince in shining amour and her daughter Sadie was charged with the duty of holding the paring spot, hazard lights a flashing..."Sadie, don't abandon your post...I will return." And return I did...I was so proud.
Well, I returned with help in hand and things worked out fine. I know Mary will but a new dresser and things will be back to some semblance of newline.
I just have to say this about that...Mary knows what she wants and she won't quit until she gets it. I love her for it. She is 'our' Mary.
OK, now that things are back and returned...Mary shepherd's me towards the men section of J.C. Penny's...I hate it. No, I really do...I 'm not happy...but...then I am. She tells me she has seen these online and wants me to try them on...as I mentioned, I am not happy...now, I am...our Mary is so wonderful...!
Well, I want to take a break and see how this blog looks. I am really new to it all. I am learning to write and spell and punctuate and conceptualize everything...I'm going to post this and get back to my hats...
Fuck, I live in a futuristic version of this blog...I already know what happens...Mary still loves me and I'm going to dislike her nothing that I write about...
Listen, I'm new to this blog and my web page...this was done solely for me and aesthetics. The rest can bugger off...except mum and dad...but, i'm just trying to learn this...
Bottom line...I love my Mary and her girls...all of them...thank you. Merry Christmas ladies!
