Futons smutons!!!!!


Let me tell you broke SUCKS!!! along with utility company's & target & futons & work dot dot dot...

I send out a question to you.. how do you get a 236 dollar gas bill in the middle of summer when the only thing you are heating is water??????????? Yea I am baffled also..

on to Target & futons.. So I see this futon in the paper for 99 dollars I think hey I could use this .. my little ugly green couch has seen better days and needs to be put to rest!!! So Monday I go to the Target by my house.. they are out.. but they give me the number for the other Targets around the city.. so I call a couple they are out also.. WOO HOO I call the one at 435 & Shawnee Mission Pky and they have 7 .. my lucky day!!! so I go over there about an hour to and hour and a 1/2 later .. I find a associate.. and he looks ... they are OUT!!! WHAT I just called how did you go through 7 in that short of a time... ok i am ticked.. i have drove over here for nothing!!! I am on the phone again.. WOO HOO the Target by The Great Mall has 3 .. they have put my name on one and I have 24 hours.. a bunch of other crap happens when we get home so we don't get to be till VERY late.. i cant sleep it is past 1 and i have to get up around 430 for work needless to say I over slept .. but I was only about 5 min late for work.. Tuesday I have to leave work early because of the crap that happened on Monday. . so cool i will get over to Target much earlier.. I go get the futon.. and I am off for home.. we get it out of the car I cook dinner we watch TV and then comes Wednesday.. I am so pooped from Monday & Tuesday I do nothing with the futon.. Thursday night comes and I think hey tomorrow if Friday and it is trash day .. we will put this together and get the box out of the house.. (plus I have Friday off.. YEA).. we get the futon out of the box.. and how strange .. no instructions on how to put it together..and there seems to be more parts then I should have.. it looks nothing like the picture on the box.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...... so I call Target and the manager is baffled.. he says bring it in tomorrow and I will make it worth your while.... So I take McKinley to school and I am off to Target.. once again.. grrr I walk in and there is one sitting on the dolly waiting for me.. the Manager comes up we go to my car and get the futon.. bring it back into the store.. and we walk back to the one they have on display and hummmm looks nothing like the one i brought in.. oh and he was going to give me some type of coupons but low and behold they are OUT and on order.. SORRY!!! I said story of my LIFE this week anyway.. I was needing some stuff.. but i am so pissed about this whole thing i just get my futon and go!!! I am still kind of ticked so I called their 1-800 number and tell them the story of driving all over KC to get this couch the promises made and not give.. so I will be getting a $15 gift card in the mail... Jaser comes over and he is going to put it together for me.. we get it out of the box and we cant find the legs or the hardware.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.. i get on the phone to the manager of Target getting ready to BLOW and I give Jaser the instructions.. he yells WAIT.. there is a secret compartment in the futon where the parts are.. YEA!!!!!!! so now it is together and all is well...

The rest of the weekend has been spent cleaning.. I did take a break and go with Amanda to see Momma Mia!! I thought the movie was good..I want to live in a musical.. hehe

Well here's hoping that my coming week goes a bit smoother.. I am having a jewelery party on Tuesday.. Wish me luck.. not sure how well it will go I have better luck on the weekends.. but oh well it did get me to clean..

Wow, you certainly have had a lot of "drama" in your life. You should be in a soap opera girl!!!

Did you happen to call the Gas Company and ask them to see if there is a leak in your line or maybe an error with your bill? I had this happen this summer as well. The lady agreed something was wrong and they fixed the problem right away and my HUGE gas bill was back down to normal.

gjlac said...

Well? We are waiting to hear how you did with your high gas bill.

Clog Nana said...
