SO MUCH FOR USING THE “IT’S FOR MY WIFE EXCUSE”
Was in Kohl’s today picking up a few things, and tried them on in the changing room. ( see my post in “I went shopping and guess what I got” )
After I got my goodies, headed for the check out counter.
Describing how I was dressed, fuchsia shirt, clip on earrings, long hair simply combed under a pink baseball cap, jeans, (sorry Karren ) snow boots with a cute fur top, and my red jacket from F.B. Finger nails are rather long just now and are painted a nice pinkish bronze. Plus a nice wipe of Mary Kay “berry kiss” lippy.
Put my stuff on the counter and open my purse to get out my card. Checkout lady looks at me and says, “You look familiar, ….( 2 second pause while she places me ) Do you go to Dr. S**** ?”
“Yes I do”
“I work in his reception area”
“Oh”
“So sorry to hear about your wife. A**** told me”
(A**** was at the funeral, she knew my wife from when my daughters played softball as teenagers. A**** also works in Dr. **** ‘s office)
NO, no HPPIA (sp) rules were broken, and if they were … so what. I don’t care.
So, here I am with a skirt, sweater, trousers, a Barely There sport bra and 2 pair of clip on earrings, and the checkout gal is giving me condolences on the passing of my wife.
Any thought of using that “for my wife” excuse was long gone. Good thing I don’t worry about that any more.
The excuse part, I mean, not the fact that she's no longer around to get angry at me for spending money on "That Stuff" as she called it.
