our new patio set looks pretty out on the deck (even without the umbrella) and have no fear i have now thoroughly chastised the customer service department.


knowing that this set was coming we got rid of 8 chairs. they were your typical rubbermaid green stacking chairs. so chalky that you would walk around with a green butt all day if you even thought about sitting in them.
but we kept the 4 nice green strap chairs that we had. comfortable. convenient. they stacked out of the way when we didn't need them.
but hubby just informed me that we are giving them to someone...hmm...i don't want to name names so let's just call them the...emmm...shmin-laws ;).
bwahahahahahahha!
oh no my friend, we most definitely are not. if and i repeat, if, we were getting rid of the chairs, i suppose we could. although i would stomp and pout and make you pay for it. but we were not.
and then he says, "i was going to drop them off tonight"


what on god's green earth were you thinking? ummm, we are going to have a yard full of people over in two days, let me give away the furniture my wife wants to keep to my parents the smin-laws???????
and don't start about family. because on that side it only runs one way. last time she babysat (and those times were rare to begin with) she left! LEFT! i know j can be difficult, but that is why we trusted family. you don't just leave. i will never forgive that. ever. i will be civil on national holidays and a few scattered b-days when they do a drive-by gifting (cash in a card). that's it.
and this week, when i need help? nadda, nothing. so ask me again why i would rather see them sitting on upside down paint buckets picking fishbones out of what's left of their teeth than trot my ass over there with my nice comfy chairs tonight.
