So we’ve had some pretty hilarious moments out here that definitely need highlighting. Our first episode came during Boscov’s store closing mega sale. In one of its last days open, we hit up the store amidst a ravenous “Black Friday” type chaos. With items strewn all over the place, no a/c, and patches of the store roped off w/ caution tape we flew around the store trying to find some final steals. Towards the end of our excursion, we hit up a gigantic table full of curtains, drapes, and tablecloths. Connie found one of the only shower curtains, but like most of the other items it didn’t have a price. So I took it over to get a price check only to find that it rung up at $0.00. There wasn’t another of its kind, so we decided to head to the checkout anyways. As the ladies rang up our items the curtain again came up at 0. One lady asked the other what to do, while the other said just to let it go. We ran out of the store high-fiving and jumping w/ joy over our latest bargins. When we got home we started opening up our super deals only to find that our awesome shower curtain wasn’t so awesome. From the picture you might be wondering what happened to the other half. Turns out it was a “demo” curtain used to showcase the full shower curtains. We keep it up though since it looks normal when the inside curtain is pulled back.

Next up on our hilarious moments came last week w/ the arrival of our new couches. One of our neighbors bought new couches and needed to get rid of their old ones. Who else would they turn to with an offer of “free” couches. So the only thing left to do was to get rid of our old nasty couch. Inheriting the independence gene from Dad, I didn’t want to bother anyone to help transport our couch to Goodwill so attempted to do it alone. Connie and I carried it down to the car and hoisted it up atop the Grand Prix. I thought for sure Con would drop it w/ all the laughter going on. As I tied it off, Connie went inside to avoid embarrassment. We drove it over to Goodwill passing car after car full of puzzled looks only to find that they don’t take upholstered items and had to drive back.

Lastly, I’ve always told Connie that my nose produces gigantic amounts of clogged pores. We put it to the test w/ a couple nose strips to see who came out w/ the bigger result. As you can see, I was the victor and I don’t think she’ll ever look at my nose the same way again.
