So wifey isn't a big purse fan. She tried to avoid them but gave in in her early 40's and started using them. We are paupers but I want her to have nice things. It drove me nuts that she'd buy these cheap purses at Ross... for $30 and they last for 6 months or so.
So the last time we were at the beach together I was trying to get her to buy a good quality purse. She found one at a Coach store (EXPENSIVE!!!) but I couldn't get her to get the one she liked (on a 60% sale for $200). I begged her. Nope. Too expensive.
OK, so she goes to California to visit her parents for a week (all the ladies in her family go to some spa place for a weekend each year blah blah blah) and I went to the coast with my best friend and bought her the purse. It comes in a classy bag.... and I placed it on the dining room table for when she returned. I was at work and I knew she'd squeal with delight, call me, make me service her when I got home, make my favorite dinner....
Oddly, I never heard from her. Got home and the bag was still on the table and so I cautiously quizzed her. Come to find out, in two weeks, she no longer liked that style.
No delightful squealing.
No "I love it!" calls at work.
No favorite dinner.
Got to service her, but she'd been gone for a week, so that hardly counts for anything.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes I wonder why I bother. Maybe I should just watch football on TV.
Oh, btw, we're going to the beach this weekend and she is taking the purse back. She's undecided if she will exchange it or get out money back. I think I'll just mind my own business.
OK, end of rant. Now back to our regularly scheduled threads.
