Michael, Avery and I had a really fabulous Saturday together. We all slept in, lounged around and then headed to Sears to pick out our new oven. I was not looking forward to this trip, but if I had known the show we would see I totally would have been. Talk about a cast of characters. Sears is the place to be on a Saturday afternoon. We were helped by a lovely salesman, Dan, who had a wicked sunburn and winced when he moved just so...
While we were waiting our turn we got to watch the tella novella of an over40's couple occasionally making out while they were waiting for some help. When we had made our choice we just had to wait for Dan to finishing ringing up the customer in front of us, no big deal right. Wrong, it took him forever to make his decision, me I took about 5 minutes to choose a new oven. While he was waiting to see if his credit was approved, you save 10% this way, he was alternately talking on his cell phone and digging out and then inspecting his belly button lint. We also got to know Linda and Bob a precious older couple who really appreciated their salesman's time (the whole 1 1/2 hours we were there) because he had given them so much to think about.
Then there was a girl about our age choosing her oven based on how cute it was with her Mom, now that's my kind of shopping.
So, if you are bored go hang out at Sears, who knew there is never a dull moment there!

When I think of Sears, I think of the Brady Bunch...you know from the movie? When they all get SO excited becasue thats where they are going! Did you do a little dance down the escalator? I've ALWAYS wanted to do that! One day I will. I will, i will, I will! Maybe I will meet my man at Sears! Hmmm...
You crack me up; I'm not sure how you attract such characters!! Glad to know I'm not the only "people watcher" out there...
