Daddy to the Rescue!!!!

Ok…

So after my crying gym experience (see previous entry), I was heading into my weekend feeling sorta blah.

I had Friday off, so after dropping Baboo at work I went home to get ready. My dad called me to see when I was coming over because he wanted me to come with them to visit my sick grandmother. She has Alzheimers and is really disconnected. Her health is faltering (she no longer eats, only through a feeding tube. She also cannot walk…) and we haven’t visited since Christmas. HORRIBLE!!!

So I knew I’d get there in time.

I first went to the bank. Washington Mutual is GONE. It’s now Chase. I wonder if my accounts will still be free with all the perks (one free overdraft) and the like. I should call and ask. Ugh! Reminds me I need to call Capital One… must remember! I want to get a credit card for the Vegas trip… no no, not to USE. But I think I might need one that isn’t a check/debit card to check into the hotel. blah!

Anyway, after that I went to my dads and we headed out to see my grandmother. She looks so tiny and frail. She carries around a baby doll and talks to it like it’s real. She cried a lot saying she was just so happy to have people around that loved her and she loved all of us. She sat in her wheel chair at the table and talked and played with domino’s and stuff. It wasn’t as bad as I thought because my family was there and she seemed in good spirits. My aunt takes care of her full time, she really has a calling for it. My grandmothers sister also stays there. She is really old too, but she’s a spit fire and isn’t losing her mental ability at all. I hope I’m like her!

We spent about 2 hours with her and when se left she was back in bed slowly going to sleep. She only had a few moments where she said something weird like "You’re gonna get cut if you use that knife"… but nobody had a knife and "Your my baby" to mysons… who aren’t her babies… But yeah, she was pretty coherant but she was also pretty quiet. It made me sad but I held up a bit cuz I wanted her to feel happy, not see me crying! I’m not sure if she recognized me. She didn’t say my name….

I hope that’s not the last time I see her, but if she does pass, at least my last memory will be good.

So after that we went to Cosco… for FOUR HOURS.

how in the holy hell do you spend four hours in a store?

Well we did!

I did sit in this AWESOME massage chair. It’s 600 bucks. I wish I just had 600 bucks lying around. it was so amazing. I’d live in that chair. seriously. It has this rolling compression option that was like … out of this world!

anyway, I got a few things (a pork roast to cook for the game day on Saturday) and some snacks for my boys. I went to check out and they scanned my card and proceeded to kidnap it.

I’m not even kidding.

The cashier handed my card off to some guy who ran away.

I was like "what’s… going on?"

But the bitch just looked away and wouldn’t talk to me.

I was like "ooo.. kay…"

So about 10 minutes later the guy comes back, flings (literally) my card into my chest and says "YOU’RE NO LONGER ON THIS ACCOUNT! YOU’VE BEEN CANCELLED!"

I kid you not, he was yelling and glaring at me like I had committed a capital offense.

I was like "huh?"

He proceeded to yell again that I was not on the account and had been cancelled and I couldn’t purchase the stuff I had (a pork roast, some handisnacks, granola bars, and some pepsi. You’d think I was trying to steal it… who would steal THAT?!).

THANK GOD MY DAD WAS THERE.

He came up and asked what they were talking about. See about a month ago, my dad took me off his account so that he wouldn’t have to pay the renewal fee. He has paid mine for years and i am not mad that he has decided to stop. I can pay my own if I want it. He was told at the time that my card would still be good until the renewal in May. Well I guess that was wrong and since he was standing there he just had them scan his card and I bought my stuff. I was SO PISSED OFF.

First of all, because they were treating me like some sort of scum that was trying to get away with something.

Second because I was getting yelled at in front of a store FULL of people for no goddamned reason.

And Third, the bitchfuck check out cunt was looking at me like a total jerkassface and giving me glares the entire time.

WHAT BITCH, WANNA BRAWL FUCKING SLUTWHORESTINKYVAGINAFACE?!!!!

Anyway… so after that I moved away and leaned against the wall with a glaring pout on my face.

This in turn made my daddy very angry.

YAY DADDY TO THE RESCUE!!!

He loves me… ha ha.

He marched over to customer service and gave them the what for. He complained about the guy (who turned out to be a manager of all things! Does he not know about customer service? He could have either spoken in a normal tone or pulled me aside and told me what was wrong. at that point he SHOULD have offered me a membership on my own instead of acting like he was gonna kick me out of the store with a security escort. He was a total dirty doucheface!!!) and complained about the information he was given at the time he was gonna cancel. He wouldn’t have cancelled me at that time if he knew they wouldn’t let me use my card till May.

Welll…. it worked out super good. He got my ENTIRE fee refunded for the last YEAR (even though there is only 2 months left of it! ha ha) and he gave me half of it! right on! Then, I went ahead and got my own membership and both of us got coupons for a free pizza!

 

YAAAAY!!!!

So all in all I got 20 bucks and a free pizza and the feeling of "I’m the princess" which I carried around with me all weekend.

I love when my daddy does that stuff. He’s a good daddy!

So then we had to stop at the Vallarta store so my dad could get super cheap vegetables (2 pounds of onions were like a dollar or something crazy) and I was tempted to get Starbucks… but I refrained.

We went home and talked until 3 in the morning.

That’s what we do when I go there. My mom, sisters and sometimes my brothers just sit around laughing and joking and talking. I told them about the fun on the train and they were shocked it gets so crazy there!

I actually slept pretty good that night.

So that ends Friday.

2 more days to write about.

Aren’t you just THRILLED?!!!!

it’s funny but those places take that kind of stuff seriously. I once used someone else’s card and was so scared they would know it was not me. she even gave me her license to use as ID since we sort of looked the same.

LOL at the “Aren’t you just thrilled” part! 🙂 However, I don’t agree either, with the inappropriate way that that situation was handled! Agreed he should’ve had better sense then that, and quietly took you aside, to explain it to you! Not made a holy show, and specticle of you, in front of everyone else, at the Store! I’m glad your Dad stood up for you hun! 🙂 And, also…sorry about your

I wish I had family to sit around until the wee hours chatting and laughing. I would have had to curse the manager out when he started that crap!
