Some of you might remember that I left behind a HB blanket while thrifting. Well what you don't know (that Alexis does) is that I went back last weekend to buy the blanket...it was still there...AND IT WAS 50% OFF!!! As I reached for the blanket, another woman got to it just before me. I was so embarrassed when my hand landed on top of hers. What was I to do? Toss her to the {filthy}floor, wrangle the blanket in my cart, and run to the cashier? I thought about it. Instead I turned red, apologized, and quickly turned around. I am not sure why I was so embarrassed, but I was. I guess it wasn't meant to be.
I thought I had moved past my feelings about the blanket until yesterday I saw Alexis' guest post over at Pretty Mommy. She ripped the band-aid right off my wound. Then, this morning I awoke to this post. Now she has poured salt in the wound, followed by a few dashes of Tabasco. Darn you Alexis (said while shaking my fist in the air)!
What was I thinking? Why did I leave that blanket behind in the first place? Do you really want to know the truth? Truth is, when I went back to buy the blanket (at 50% off) I still mulled it over, and then walked away...AGAIN. After lingering in the store for almost an hour, I decided I wanted the blanket...I needed the blanket. It was when I decided to go back (for the third time) and get it, that I lost it.
It's my own fault (said with my head hanging low), lesson learned.
P.S. I hope you all know that I am totally joking in regards to Alexis. I am not joking about the blanket. (boo-hoo)
P.S.S. Don't be surprised Alexis if you wake up one morning to find me sleeping in the Art Barn. The bed looks so comfortable, and I love how cozy the space is.
omg i'm laughing and crying at the same time. and i have a confession...i was tempted to get that blanket when i saw you passed it up. i still can't believe the story of that lady beating you to the punch. damn her! hahah jk!
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh Grace!!! I would have died. And I would have thought/done the same thing. Love it.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! You should have throat punched the lady. JUST KIDDING!!!
ReplyDeleteJust a funny reference folks.
Anyhoo, another blanket will come into your life and then you will know it is the one. :)
That is too funny. It's like when everyone had a bike but Pee Wee in Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
ReplyDeleteha ha ha ha!! love it!!!
ReplyDeleteLesson learned, dude. In my early thrifting days, I found myself obsessing over the things I passed up on...so now I throw them in the cart and put them back at the end if I don't want them...
ReplyDeleteAnd don't feel too badly...I once passed up a FREE Eames Time Life chair. Duh!
WHAT!!!? Modernhaus, I can't believed you passed up on a FREE Eames anything.
ReplyDeleteYes, lesson learned.
I"m always late to the show...but so glad to be here because you are, One Funny Lady!
