Hello, Strangers.

It's been a while since I've posted anything, but my life has been pretty uneventful lately. However, I know a few people (ahem...my sister) who get angry when I don't post for a while. I completely understand where she's coming from...blog-hopping gets me going in the morning. It's what I do for at least the first half hour of my day. To quote Tracy, it's like my morning cup of Joe. Other people take coffee breaks, cigarette breaks, etc. but since I don't drink coffee regularly or smoke, I figure I'm entitled to the first few minutes of my day to get lost in the lifes of other people who always seem to be a little more interesting than me.

Today, I'm going to blow of some steam by writing about how angry I am at the department store called Macy's.

Gary and I bought a $150 sheet set from Macy's on Sunday as wedding gift off his buddy's registry. I went online the yesterday to make sure it had been taken off the registry and the price online said $89.99. Now, that's a huge difference. We're not talking a few bucks, but a $60 difference! So we decided to return the sheets and order them online. We brought them back last night and showed the lady the online registry showing the lower price. She indicated she couldn't adjust the price because it wouldn't account for shipping. We decided to just return them and then order them online. Keep in mind, we tried to return them WITH the original receipt dated just one day earlier, but the lady would only give us store credit. She said because it came off a registry that we could only get store credit in return. I agrued with her for a bit but she wouldn't give. So, we figured we'd just use the gift card online. After completeing the return and receiving the giftcard, the lady decides "just for fun" let's see if the sheets are on sale today. Sure enough! They're on sale for $89.99, the same price as online, even though she told us she couldn't give us the online price. Now we're stuck with $60 on a giftcard that we wouldn't have had to spend in the first place. To top it all off, I get home and notice on the back of the receipt that we were entitled to a price adjustment within 10 days of the original purchase. Now that would have been a hell of a lot easier wouldn't it? Stupid lady...

There I feel better, thanks ya'll for listening to me vent!
