Vacation rambling My vacation officially started this morning. It started out well. I woke up. Any day I wake up seems to start out good.
I am going to put this week to good use. I don�t HAVE to do a darn thing, but I MAY weed my flowers and plant some more. I MAY go and pick up some fencing to put around said flowers. I MAY dig out the flower square that I planted marigolds in. Why would I want to do that? Because the maintenance guy virtually buried my flowers with grass. I didn�t notice it and now the flowers are all dead. The boxed ones are still alive and really full, so I will transplant some of them. I also MAY dig up along the house to put down the 10� strip of wildflowers. I MAY finish my book.
I say MAY, because I have one of those husbands, that loves to start out conversations with the words, "I thought you said you were going to�.." Usually, my answer to that statement is just a simple, "I lied." But we know how sweet I am and such sarcasm is so beneath me. Hahahaha!! Ya, right.
I didn�t put this story in on Saturday because I was kind of hurrying and wanted to do it justice. I MAY do it now. Saturday, after the store delivered the TV, they did set it up and had it working. But the color was all messed up.
Terry, in his infinite wisdom, told the guy to just leave it and he would figure it out. Hence, messed up TV. Terry is a wiz with all things hardware, but this was beyond his scope. The problem is that he doesn�t write down what he is doing so he can go back to the start if it doesn�t work. That�s another story. But after he realized it was totally messed up, he called the store back. Here is the conversation.
Storeguy:
"Good afternoon, BigStore, may I help you?"
Terry: "Yes. Could you please send the guy back that set up our TV? I need him to put it back the way it was."
Storeguy: "Your name, sir?"
Terry: "Terry Lastname."
Storeguy: "I�m sorry sir. I don�t have us delivering you a TV today. In fact, we didn�t deliver any TV�s today."
Terry: "You certainly did! It�s sitting right here!"
Storeguy: "Umm, no sir. We haven�t delivered any today. What kind of TV is it?"
Terry: "It�s a Mitsubishi, and it�s sitting right here in front of me.
"
Store guy - getting a bit testy: "No sir, we did not deliver it. We only have a couple of small TVs in right now"
Terry - getting totally pissed: "Well, I guess that means I don�t have to pay for it then, huh? My wife bought it yesterday. You delivered it today. She said you had at least 10 of them. It�s a big-assed 55" Mitsubishi and it is RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME!!!"
Storeguy: I am sorry sir, but we don�t even sell Mitsubishi at Radio Shack."
Looooong pause
Terry: "This isn�t Rent@ Center?"
Storeguy: "No, this is radio shack."
Terry: "Gee, do you have any idea how much of an idiot I feel like right now?"
Storeguy: "Yes sir. Good-bye."
Who says a guy with no legs can�t still put his foot in his mouth?? Remember me saying a while back that I have been checking out some new music? Well, not actually new, just new to me. I found the most beautiful voice the other day. The song is You�re Beautiful. I�ve heard it a few times on the radio and decided to see what else he sings. His name is James Blunt. He is English and very young. I went to Amazon and listened to a few tracks Here Just go to the bottom of the page.
I just love his voice. He reminds me of Rod Stewart before his voice got so gravely. I bought the [clean] version. I don�t know what the difference is with that and the [explicit] version, but I don�t really want to. Clean works for me. Yesterday was Father�s Day. Lori came up with the girls. They all had cards for him. They didn�t stay long. I had a roasting chicken I the oven and it was really hot here. My brother, Pete, cam for dinner. It was nice. He took the leftovers and left around 7:00PM. He had to be to work by 9:00. So the weekend went very nice. Well, I�m off to do something. Lori stopped up this morning with doughnuts. I MAY have one�.. Or two. I may? Who am I kidding. One down already and one on the way. Happy Monday. Later.. Cosmic, the Vacationing Vixen.
