This couch is still available for $50.
Personally, I think they should pay you to take it (to the dump), but...whatever.
You can always have the person you don't like, sit in the middle.
I'm still holding out for the dark brown leather couch fairy to come by.
So far, no luck, but you never know. Heck, maybe she'll throw in a couple chairs.
How about it Furniture fairy? You do read my blog, right? Come on, admit it. I've got someone in the House Of Representatives who reads me, why not you?
In other news, I'd just like to tell you that as I wrote the paragraph above, I successfully removed a chin whisker.
I am THAT talented.
I don't have any shame either.
A couple of weeks ago, I was at the fabric store checking out. The gal (mid 60's) was trying to be funny when she handed my daughter her candy (Yes, I am a nice mom), and she kept moving it so my daughter couldn't grab it.
Hilarious.
I said "Oh, you're a teaser!"
When I was really thinking, "Don't be stupid, just give her the candy."
She said, "I can't help it, it's in my makeup!"
Then I said, "Where do you buy your makeup?"
Because I am funny like that.
And she says, "I got it from my dad."
and I said, "Uh oh, daddy wears makeup!"
and she just stared at me.
You know, because she was inferring that it was in her genes, but I was talking about...oh whatever. If I have to explain it, it takes away from the hilariosity of the story.
Yes, I made that word up.
You couldn't tell, could you?

It was hilariosity at its best! I love your conversations with the check out people. And I have a brownish/redish leather sofa that I want to post on Craigslist. And there isn't one single tear or crack in it! I can't believe someone thinks they can get money for that!
But you just throw a big cozy blanket over it. Problem solved. Especially if you stick it in your mildewy basement or out on the front porch so you can have a cozy spot to whittle and spit away the hours.
I can't believe you tried to out-joke the check-out lady. She's there to entertain you, not vice versa.
That is such a funny story. The whole "make-up" thing makes me laugh.
Hilarosity--WHAT A GREAT WORD!!! Kind of like "annully" which is the word verification word for this comment.
That check out lady is pretty old--Sure glad I'm not that old, but I guess when I get there I may read your post and have to have you explain it to me ; )
Her dad probably DID wear makeup. She probably didn't laugh because it brought back all kinds of weird memories. He probably played "get the candy" with her too. You probably owe her a therapy bill. I probably just wrote the word probably way too many times.
"the leather is terribly crackled. But...we throw a big cozy blanket over it"
OMGosh, what the heck :D
Where in the heck do you find these things?! Holy cracks Batman! I think that lady has been smokin some.
Crack
Get it?
Neither did the checkout lady!
har har har
If that had been my kid he would have started having a cow in the store. Then I might have needed to backhand the checkout lady.
I'm with you, give em the stinkin candy already. I paid for the dang thing!
wratchom
another super cool word made up by blogger.
I really don't care what your post was about---I am sooooo mesmerized by your new flowered background.
pretty....pretty....pretty...
Did you really say "daddy wears makeup?" Cuz that's totally awesome.
You could have just pointed over the checkout gal's shoulder and said "What's that?" and when she looked you could have grabbed the candy and she wouldn't have had a clue what happened. Yeah, that would have been cool!
I have taken to craigslist to find such ads. Makes you wonder if they are serious! But I will take the middle seat BTW, its easier to toot when you don't have to roll with it:)
Poor woman. She thinks teasing children is funny and can't appreciate comic genius when it is right in front of her.
I pity the woman.
You are HILARIOUS! That cashier lady was just a foolish comedian wannabe! :P
Those are the ugliest couches EVER! How embarrassing to even try to sell them, hahaha! :D
My makeup all has the Bozo Seal Of Approval.
who's that lovely lady with the beard?
