I posted about this last week......................today was the day we had to go pick it up - after 5 emails back and forth between the seller.............
The AD as you can clearly see states BUFFET - along with a photo of the said buffet..............
D'accord - Parfait.....................
Sorry it's in French but that's how the ad appeared...............it basically translates into What Luck!!! Not expensive - very clean.
OK - except we had a 7 foot Armoire in the van that had to be removed in order to pick this up. ( the van has basically become and extended storage unit on wheels - something comes out - something else goes in )
You'll remember the Armoire -
It's in 2 pieces - top and bottom - so we brought the small bottom piece in during the week.
Today:
Suzan says - we have to get the rest of the armoire in the house John
John says - there's no way you can lift it
Suzan says - of course I can - you know how strong I am !!!
John says - THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN LIFT IT
Suzan says - I'm not going to argue with you about if for half the day - c'mon let's go
John says - WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME WOMAN???????????? THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN LIFT IT.
Suzan says - I've already brought in a third of it basically with you -
Suzan says - All we have left is the top part
John says - And what happens if we get it out of the van and you can't lift it????
Suzan says - Stop already - I know what I'm capable of.
And off we went outside - and the heaven's open up - now I can take a lot - I do take a lot - but I cannot take
rain falling on my freshly done hair - BECAUSE I CAN'T DO HAIR.................AT ALL.
But I was determined enough to stand there in the pouring rain and get the armoire into the house.
As we start dragging it across the floor of the van - a terrible thought crosses my mind
THERE'S NO WAY I CAN LIFT IT !!!
Now a normal person would admit that little fact right there on the spot - but you know me by now I presume?
I pushed and grabbed and tugged and yanked and swore..................until we had it out on the pavement.
John says - I TOLD YOU DAMN IT
Suzan says - Well I didn't think it was THIS heavy - this isn't normal
John says - You know you're the most frustrating woman I -
Suzan interrupts - Can you keep your voice down - we're out in public - there's 2 young guys over there with Tennis rackets - they can hear you
John yells - Well it's time everyone knew what I go through - you wanted it in the house - let's go SuzANNE.
Suzan says - but THERE'S NO WAY I CAN LIFT IT!!!
John yells - WELL WE CAN'T KEEP IT OUT HERE IN THE POURING RAIN
Suzan says - WILL you please keep your voice down?
Suzan says- WHY don't those boys come over and offer us a hand?
Suzan says - When I was younger that would have been a given................
John Yells - I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUNG MEN DID IN YOUR DAY
I freeze - the 2 young men have heard him - I'm dying - literally dying inside - and they saunter over.
They say - It's raining - we can't play Tennis - do you need a hand with that?
I almost fall at their feet in gratitude.
It took the 3 of them - and let me tell you they were struggling - this thing is a beast ( disguised as a beauty )
And finally it was inside.
It doesn't look so imposing, does it?
Looks like any number of things I've helped move -
But the interior is solid wood - and it's much taller and wider than it looks
Anyway it's all nice and safe and out of the pouring rain - and John goes off to pick up the buffet
We've been assured that it's no problem - the husband will help him load it into the van.
20 minutes later the phone rings...............
Suzan says - Hi John - are you there yet?
John whispers - Seriously this is it - I'm not doing this anymore
Suzan says - Speak up I can't hear you
John says - In a very very sweet voice ( so I know the sellers are close by ) It looks like you made a mistake Dear, the item for sell is a melamine T.V. stand and he chuckles
John whispers - Don't you check what you're buying - I'm so mad I could -------
Suzan interrupts - WHOA - what are you talking about - I'm looking at the ad now as we speak - it's for a buffet
and there's a picture of it!!!!!!!!!!!
Suzan says - Can you put the seller on the line please?
The seller can't speak English - and can barely speak French - and I do not speak whatever language they CAN speak
Suzan says - WE'RE BUYING THE WOOD BUFFET - NOT THE T.V. STAND
The seller says - HUH?
Suzan says - T.V. - NO - NO - BUFFET - YES - YES
The seller says BUFFET - NO NO - FAIT UNE MISTAKE - AND SHE LAUGHS.....................
SHE LAUGHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
O,M.G. - SHE ACTUALLY LAUGHS...................
Now you all know I have a sense of humor -
I have a great sense of humor -
I would almost say my sense of humor defines me - I would have found it quite funny had I been there and I could have kicked her in the butt -
THAT would have made me laugh................
And an all out cat fight might have had me in hysterics.
And an all out cat fight might have had me in hysterics.
Maybe.
John's sulking right now -
Suzan says - Well why are you mad at ME? It's not my fault that some people are ignoramuses !
John says - I'm not mad at you - not at all -
Suzan says - Good - because I think I'd like to put that Armoire back in the van...................
And I'm still alive LMHO....................he's letting me live for one more day!
Enough time to paint the Armoire actually...............
Y'all have a good one, ya hear?
And have as normal a day as you possibly can ( whatever your normal is )
Much love,
