And Then Some

Wow
It's been a while since I've blogged. Sorry about that.

My Family Is More Fun Than Your Family
One of my cousin's had an engagement party last weekend. It was in New Hampshire at my grandmother's house. There were coolers full of beer and enough fried fish to feed a small army. And the best present was a pitcher shaped like a cod that gurgles when you pour water. I don't think we even scared the fiance (too much).

The Underwear Bandit
Ladies, beware of the men who deliver mattresses! They will steal your favorite pair of underwear while you are in the other room letting in his co-workers. I was getting ready to do laundry yesterday morning when I noticed my new favorite pair of underwear was missing. I'd only worn them once and definitely remembered putting them back in my drawer after doing laundry. I had not worn them since.

The only strangers who had been in my room since then were the delivery guys who set up my new bed. I didn't want to believe this theory (because it's creepy), so I went and double checked the laundry room just in case. Nope. I checked all my other drawers. Nope. So it was definitely the delivery guy. Why did he have to take the good pair, the pair I spent too much money on? Why couldn't he take some of the cheap cotton ones I wouldn't have missed? Bastard.

I stormed off to Macy's to buy a replacement pair. I was not going to let some creepy guy deprive me of my favorite underwear. Especially since I still had the matching bra. But of course in the month since I'd been there they had rearranged the lingerie department. I finally found the right brand, but they didn't have that style out any more. In desperation, I decided to check the clearance rack. I found the top, but not the bottom. Damn. I kept looking and found the same color, but in a thong. Damn. I should not have to settle for uncomfortable underwear because some creepy guy pilfered my underwear drawer. In a last ditch effort, I checked the big bin of $2.99 underwear that's all in a big knot. Success! It only cost $4.33 and a subway trip, but now I can pretend this never happened.

  • HAHAHA I'm glad you found a new pair of underwear. But I still don't think the mattress men took it, Anne! Well..what else could it be. But listen! I had a favorite white tank top over the summer, and while I was dating stupid Dave, I suddently lost it. I looked all over his room and in the lost and found at the laundry mat. No tank. I pissed and moaned over this tank for two months and eventually forgot about it. And I bought a new white tank that's now my fave. But last week when I was straigtening my bath towels on my closet shelf? There was my white tank stuffed in the corner. And I looked everywhere for that monster. You just watch Anne. You'll find those babies and then you'll feel sorry you blamed Mattress Man.:) -Tina
