We want to start this blog by thanking all of you for the wonderful gifts and giftcards. Without all your generosity and kindness, today's events would have not transpired. So again, thank you for all those wonderful wedding gifts.
To continue with today's story... We wanted to use our giftcards and wedding money to purchase the remaining items of our registry. As you all know, we love food, we love to cook and host parties; therefore it has been very exciting to us to be able to get those "new toys" that will help in starting our new home. The problem is that in the tiny town we live at, there is no Bed, Bath and Beyond. The closest one is Columbus, GA, which is about 1 hr away. So this morning we got up and drove to Columbus in hopes to purchase some goodies. We also decided that we needed to purchase a new computer, specially because it would really help Monica in her new job and be a benefit for me in school. Our desktop computer no longer turns on and our labtop computer is ancient. I also finally was able to convince Monica to go for a MAC, it would of have been a done deal awhile ago if MAC only made pink computers! Monica was very excited to get the new computer, she had been planning the entire drive all the things she was going to do on it. (Oh just to inform you, this town does not have a Best Buy or an Apple store either). So we finally arrive to Best Buy in Columbus, we walk down to the computer section and start the search for our new laptop, but we don't seem to find Apple products. Figures, that this would be my fate and that the only Best Buy around us would not have apple products! So no computer for us today. As we are exiting the door, I look at Monica and I see her grin. I know exactly what she is thinking and what she wants to say but she stays quiet. I know she is trying not to say "I told you so". Finally as we walk out she says "Today's blog's moral will be, don't listen to Peter!" and then she smiles. The reason she says this is because, I really had Monica convinced about the MAC a few weeks ago, and as you all know when Monica gets excited about something she is ready to pursue immediatly, so that day (the day I convinced her to go with MAC) she said "OK, I'm sold, let's order it" and I told her "no, let's wait and go get it from Best Buy sometime next week"! Figures, that out of all the Best Buys probably of the world, mine would not carry Apple!
So today's moral of the story accorsing to Monica is "Don't listen to Peter" and the moral of the story according to Peter is "Call the store before you go".
The continuation of this blog will soon be posted, the title will be "Bed Bath and Beyond Shopping Spree"
