It Aint Over Til Its Over. Yeah, Yoggi Berra's famous quote.
The furniture store had by an invitation only sale. So we went to it. First we got a new bar stool. We have two stools now with nice back rests but for Bunco, one needs an extra stool to accommodate those that want to collect in the kitchen area (near the wine bottle, perhaps).
Bar Stools aint cheap. I found out that the ones that swivel cost almost twice as much as those that do not. Yup, we got the one that swivels. Ouch.
Then we looked a lounge chairs, La-Z-Boy specifically. We have had several brands over the years but La-Z-Boy seems to hold up the best. My old "purple vibrator special" obtained niegh on to 14 years ago has lost its great appeal. That is to say while it still functions okay, one can feel that the padding has seen its better days and it rests upon a floor pad to collect odd "droppings" of which looks like black grease. So it was time to consider a replacement.
I was coaxed into sitting here and there, first in this one and later in that one and finally found one that seem to match colors and was quite comfortable. And you, know, it was on sale and the economy just needed a boost so we bought two of them. Yes, a matching set which means one is in stock and the other had to be ordered. "No problem," says the octonegerain sales man (I though the guy was gonna get down on his knees looking up a price and never get up again).
Yep, spent the tax refund check in one fell swoop. Oh yeah, we already spent it two or three or four times. Damn economy.
This has got to stop. Hey, Yoggi what do I do now?
