Not a Secrete Anymore

Published by admin under Pandemonium on March 8, 2010

Yesterday afternoon Matthew,the girls, and I ventured out in the drizzling rain to spend the rest of our day at the mall running some errands. In my opinion that’s the best way to spend a rainy day.
I’ve pretty much finished my cloth shopping for this year(what I budgeted for myself out of the return), but needed to get my undergarment basics and Victoria’s Secrete was on our lists of things to go do and take care of. This trip was a pretty much in and out trip so It wasn’t a big deal that the girls and Matthew were with me. Had I been looking around I’d have left them at some other store. I knew exactly what I wanted/needed.
I don’t know if anyone has been in there lately, but now they have this annoying sales rep that greets you at the door and asks you what you’re looking for, and then there are even more placed throughout the store PRETENDING to fold and short undies and bras. I’m one of those people that IF I need help I’ll ask, and when I don’t and I let you know that I expect you to back the f-up lol. This isn’t Office Max, I don’t need to know where the printer ink is….come on! It’s a lingerie store. I pretty much get the idea of what you sale and where it’s at considering there are braziers hanging all over your walls and tables full of undies THANK YOU.
Anyways getting back to what I wanted to tell you. I get hounded at the front door, politely tell the girl “I’m fine, Thanks. I know what I want.” and scurry on my way dodging five other reps to the back of the store where my tried and true bra is waiting for me. The Victoria Secrete floor team have like EVERY zone covered, and they creep up on you while you are looking at their merchandise. It gives you this odd feeling of doing something wrong. I’m looking through all the different colors of this specific bra that I wanted and low and behold I’m snuck up on by another Sales rep. This poor poor girl got more than she bargained for though when she asked if she could help me. It must have been bothering Vera too that everyone was asking “Can I help you”, “What size are you looking for” because when the lady asked us “What type of Bra are you looking for” sweet Vera took matters into her own hands. Vera pulled the front of my shirt down & part of my bra with it to inform the lady that “She wants one of these!”
NOW, there have been several times in my life where I’ve been SO embrassed I wanted to hide under a rock, BUT this surpassed all of those. I wanted to die. Right there. All the lady could say was “OH, My Lord”. She was in a fit of hysterics. After readjusting myself and after a minute that felt like an eternity I laughed too and tried to play it cool. After being flashed I let the poor girl do her job, and she actually suggested something I hadn’t considered.

Meet My Consolation Prize

Published by admin under Pandemonium on March 4, 2010

I’d like to introduce my consolation prize to all of my readers. Meet Lilo; our 7 week old Pug.

She was born on Elvis’s birthday, and was almost named Presley. We decided it wasn’t a very feminine name so we let Vera pick out the name. She chose a name from one of her favorite Disney Movies, Lilo and Stitch.

After realizing our return was not enough to get a house AND all the things we had been putting off during the year we made a decision to forgo getting a house and work on getting a car for me since our family only has one tiny lil Yaris. Well long story short that hasn’t really worked out for us. People are asking to much for POSs . I don”t want to buy something that is going to fall apart in 3 months like the previous car I got -_- **cough** POS Saturn **cough**. Which leaves me empty handed for another year which in return puts my career like ( like I had one lmao) on hold.  Both of which made me really angry, REALLY. SORRY I JUST FELT LIKE SHOUTING AT YOU. That and it:s hard to type with a dog resting in one’s crook of their arm.

She’s definitely a cutey, but she’s a lot of work. There have already been some sleepless nights. This one included. Anyways because I’ve been grouchy I guess Matthew thought it a good idea that I got one thing that I wanted even if it was further down on the totem pole.
