What would you do?

When I was at the check out at J.C. Penney's yesterday, there was a woman in front of me that spoke broken english. I noticed that the sales lady seemed angry and was not very nice to her when she asked how much everything was as she was scanning it. Another sales lady came over to check me out. The customer then asked the sales lady another question and the sales lady started SCREAMING "I don't understand what you're saying." The customer repeated herself several more times as the sales lady continued to yell, "I don't understand what you are saying." Finally she said she was calling the manager. I asked the customer to tell me what she wanted and I think she wanted the clothes rung up again because she didn't think the price was right. I now wish I would have told that sales lady there was no reason to be so rude but instead I told my sales lady that I worked in retail before and would NEVER treat a customer like that.(she said nothing) When the manager came I told her I thought she wanted to check out again and I heard the customer tell her the sales lady was rude to her.(manager said nothing) After I walked away I told my girlfriend I felt like saying something to the manager but at the same time didn't want to poke my nose into something that wasn't any of my business. I wouldn't want to be the cause of the sales lady being fired yet maybe she deserved to be. I wondered what more I could have done for that customer as she was treated awful.

Come to find out, that customer may have been right about thinking the total of her purchase was wrong. Twin bought a pencil skirt that was marked $4.99 only to find out this morning when looking at her receipt that she was charged $7.00. Not enough price difference to complain about as it is still a great deal, but it just goes to show that things don't always ring up right at the register.

 While this was all happening I didn't know what to do or think, it was so out of the ordinary. With the sales lady and managers attitude it probably wouldn't have made a difference anyway but I still wonder if I could have done something more.

My Paula Deen Percolator

Have you ever drank coffee from a percolator? It's the best. My mother in law has a stainless steel 12 cup percolator. I think she's been using it over 30 years. Her coffee is the absolute best. I have the corning ware percolator but it's not that pretty to look at so I store it in the cabinet. I always forget I have it so it hasn't seen much use.

I got this 8 cup from Kohls it's made by Paula Deen.  Isn't she pretty?  This gal will be staying out on the stove for all to see! Now for those who aren't coffee drinkers, you could always toss in a few tea bags instead of coffee. Like iced tea? Let the tea cool and pour over ice. And for you southern gals, I suspect you'll be adding a lot of sugar 'cause y'all love your sweet tea!

One crazy post

This is going to be a crazy post because I can't figure out how to fix the pictures. I wanted to talk about using a Kohl's charge and how it saves you money. I don't promote charge cards as they sometimes get people in trouble but the secret is not to purchase anything you don't have the money in the bank to cover and pay them off before the end of the month. Never carry a balance. When I use my charge card at Kohl's I write a check and pay for it right then so I don't even receive a bill. Any way, with a Kohl's charge you will receive coupons in the mail all the time. About every 6 weeks you will get one that saves you either 15,20, or 30%. Twin and I go shopping when one of us gets the 30% and this time I was looking for a dress for my son's graduation. Twin found this one for me and luckily it was my size because it was the only one they had. Regular $59.00, on clearance for 20.00 and I got it for $14.00.

Twin and I got these shoes in Vegas and I think I'll wear red with the dress. Shoes and jewelry. The thing I love about this dress is that you can put any color with it. Pink, yellow, or lime green would be great colors too.

I may wear it with the red felt flower I made on the waist or try a red belt. Because I ended up spending $100.00, I also got $20.00 in Kohl's cash to spend later. I just love that store.

I found an AWESOME blog...

 

A lot of people don't have other blogs posted on their side bars anymore because they are using Bloglines. Twin set me up with it and showed me how to use it but I don't care for it much. (She loves it.) I like visiting a blog that lists others and checking them out. One leads to another and you can find some fantastic blogs that way. If everyone used Bloglines then it would be very difficult to find fabulous blogs such as The House That A-M Built. It is my new favorite. This woman is a decorating genius. Check her out, you'll be glad you did. And then reconsider putting your favorites back on your blog.

P.S. The free shipping for the monogram will be going away soon so if you would like one for your bedroom, nursery, living room or for a great gift you need to order SOON!

IT'S A GIVE A WAY!!

EDITED: IF YOU DO NOT WIN OUR GIVE AWAY WE ARE OFFERING FREE SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM FOR A LIMITED TIME. THIS FREE SHIPPING IS FOR THE U.S. AND CANADA. 

EVERYONE GETS TO BE A WINNER WITH FREE SHIPPING

The Twins

Guess What Twin and I Are Getting

We are the proud owners of a  pilates machine. At least we will be when my daughter brings it to us. We don't have a Craig's list in our area so I checked where my daughter lives and found this~

Neither Twin nor I have ever been on a pilates machine but when ever I see one advertised on QVC (like this past weekend) I want it.

 We have a treadmill but I don't use it much. My husband loves it and we've actually owned more then one through the years. My hubby wears them out. If we could turn all the miles he has added up on treadmills into frequent flyer miles, we'd be jet setters!

 I don't want to lose weight, just tone so I think this is the answer. Do you have a pilates machine? If so do you like it? How well do you think it works? Do you think I'll be able to get into that thong bikini by summer? HA just kidding.
