We have an Easter Egg Hunt to go to
at 11am. Taking the neighbor with us.
Taking along the camera so will be sure
to post some pics later on.
Then have to borrow mom's truck to go
pick up our sofa then head over to Marc's
afterwards with the truck to pick up some mulch.
On average mulch costs around $3.33 for
a 2 cubic foot bag. We found it for
$2.50 at Marc's but they only have
black and the light blonde color mulch.
Fine by me as this yard has needed mulch
for the last 2 years and we've kept putting
it off.
Then we have a couple cars to go look at.
Well one is a car (Volvo) and one is a
mini van (Toyota). Not much of a foreign car
person but at the rate gas prices are going
I really don't care as I need something
with much better gas mileage.

Ok I am tired. It seems only half the day
went as planned and well the other half
let's just say didn't go as well.
The kids had fun at the Easter egg hunt!
Then we went to Kroger afterwards to pick up
a few things like pop and milk. Then I decided
a couple pans of lasagna sounded good in the near
future and picked up a few of those ingredients
while they were on sale.
Next stop to look at the Volvo and Toyota Previa.
Didn't like them but do have this to say.
The Previa is the most weirdest looking van
on the inside I have ever seen!! I heard people
call them spaceships but thought they were
talking about the outside appearance.
It's the inside's dash shape. I wouldn't
know if it would be considered cool or
weird looking to drive one of those!
When we asked the guy to pop the hood so we
could see the motor and instead he reached
in and reared the driver's seat back to expose
the motor under the seat, I thought run Forrest run!
That does not look like something any backyard
mechanic could work on.

We returned home to grab a bite then went down
to borrow mom's truck to go pick up our couch.
This is where my afternoon did a complete turn
around and put me in a pissed off mood!
And when I am pissed off I let people know!
I'm tired of getting screwed and getting
no enjoyment out of it!
We get over to Value City to pay off our couch
and to bring it home. We put it in layaway
about 3 weeks ago so we could get our
living room painted then bring it home
once we got done.
Get to the counter
and the guy does some tapping on the computer
and tells us THERE AREN'T ANYMORE COUCHES!!!
You could have probably heard me across the store
yell , "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE AREN'T ANY MORE!!!"
He says they sold out of them and they no longer
carry it anymore.
I put this damn thing in layaway and already
put money on it I told him.
We don't have a layaway he says, we have
what's called a price freeze. You are guaranteed
to get the couch at the price it was on sale
for.
WHAT THE HELL IS HE TALKING ABOUT????
THIS IS A CROCK OF SHIT!!!
I tell him the sales lady who sold it to us
said you did have layaway and that's
just what we did so we could do some painting first.
We painted our
freaking living room to go with this couch!!!
I was very loud at this point accusing them of
telling customers what they wanted to hear
to be able to make a sale. This sales person
3 weeks ago told me I had up to 6 months to pay this
couch off if I wanted.
I said I even
borrowed a truck to pick the sofa up.
I said you better find a compatible couch
like the one I paid on at the same price then!!
He taps away at the computer again when a sales
lady walks up to see what's going on.
He explains everything to her.
Out of the blue we conveniently have
the last of these sofas BUT IT IS A FREAKIN
FLOOR MODEL!!
I am getting louder and more pissed. I say
I bought a NEW COUCH NOT ONE THAT IS A FLOOR
MODEL THAT'S HAD EVERYONE'S ASS TESTING IT OUT!!
And yes I said it exactly like that!!
She says you can still get the warranty with this
floor model couch. I say, I ALREADY PAID FOR MY
WARRANTY WHAT DO YOU MEAN I STILL CAN GET IT???
While waiting for them to do paper work I was pacing
the front of the store bitchin up a storm! I told
them for the first time in my life I get a "new"
sofa and this is the bullshit I have to go through.
I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE EVER
AGAIN! I used to work for Schottensteins
(all associated with Value City at one time)
and even though I got a discount back then
I never shopped their junk in the stores.
So they better consider theirselves lucky
that I even walked through the front doors.
While pacing I did not know Tony and the guy
behind the counter worked out a deal for them
to deliver it free. Delivery is normally $100
a flat fee. He's lucky I was no where near them
or I would have laid into those sale people again!
First off I live 5 minutes away and have a vehicle
to pick up the damn couch! Second I would have
told them I wanted a discount on a damn floor
model couch not A FREAKING FREE DELIVERY 5 minutes
away! Now I have to wait til Tuesday to get my sofa.
And who knows when it will show up that day but
you can bet your sweet ass I will go over it with a
fine tooth comb. I told the sales lady I wanted
it cleaned up and all traces of lint and fuzzballs
removed!!!
I told the sales people before leaving, "if this
is how you treat your customers when selling them
something, then I can't wait to see how well you
hold up to the warranty if I should have a problem!"
It's a no wonder they gave us free delivery.
They sure as hell didn't want me coming back
chewing them another asshole! My face and ears
felt so hot. I knew my blood pressure
was up!
VALUE CITY PEOPLE SUCK ASS!!!
THEY ARE JUST AS BAD AS CAR SALESMEN!!
Ok so we leave Value City empty handed
and start to head to Westerville to pick
up some mulch since we had mom's pickup.
We got as far as Iron Pony and the damn
pager went off.
Needless to say we did not get the mulch
nor sofa today as evil forces would not
allow such a thing to happen.
And I think Marc's is closed on Sunday.
I am home now and am very wore out.
Why is it when there is a holiday
the parents seem the most wore out
the day before. We still have to color
Easter Eggs tonight and I have baskets to
make and eggs to fill and scatter
all over the backyard.
CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!
Well I am ready to hit the sack. Got everything
done for Easter and watched a little news.
Did you know we had wind gusts up to 54 MPH
today? Not a good hair day!
I hope tomorrow goes better.
Need to go shoe shopping with the kids.
Don't that sound like fun?
Good Night! ZZZZzzzzzzzz
