The things we do for love...

This is the reason (above) I sold my California King Sleep Number Bed by Select Comfort. The $6,000 bed I got FOR FREE when I endoresed Sleep Train Mattress Center was one of my most prized possessions...I had to sell one "love of my life" to pay for the other love of my life's surgery. The things we do for love...



I slept on the couch for a few nights before deciding that was not fun...at all...so I went to one of those factory direct warehouses and bought a new bed for less than I sold my old one for. The guys at the "store" were acting like shady used-car salesmen so I decided to threaten them to get them to act right. Now, I'm not a "you don't know who you're messing with" kind of person but in the face of feeling completely screwed with and taken advantage of, I pulled out my trump card. I said, "If you guys try to fuck me over, I swear to God I will go on the radio and tell all of Sacramento how seedy, sketchy and shitty your business is. If you think I'm joking, try me."



Needless to say, I wound up leaving with the bed I wanted at a price I was willing to pay.



I use the word "store" in air quotes because it wasn't really a store at all...more like some Mafia run, back-alley, illegal operation staffed with meat-head guidos accessorized in gold chains and other token bling items. I don't really care where all the stuff came from so long as I don't have to give my bed back without a full refund. If the police come knocking, I'm singing like a canary.



Anyways, not much is going on this week. I have to go to Modesto on Saturday to show my house to new potential renters. I found out today that my Homeowner's Association is suing the builder's of our neighborhood for faulty and/or negligent construction and I got forms in the mail today from an attorney's office about the situation. One of the things I'm hoping to learn how to do this year is get rich quick so I may be well on my way...who knows! A girl can dream...

And finally, in a strange turn of events...said "ex" who broke my heart (see last post) has seemingly had a change of heart...perhaps not fully, but I will explain more later. I don't feel lik getting into it right now.
