...."Now Please Pass The Pepper"

Cocaine Princess here.

This past weekend my sister and I went furniture shopping. We had our house custom built but left the basement unfinished until we decided two years ago to complete it. We just never got around to furnish it. There's a wet bar and a potted palm tree in the corner and that’s about it.

As you all know by now I love to shop so you would think I had a great time, right? Not so much the case. ‘A’ was with me and whenever the two of us shop especially when it comes time to purchase something we both need to agree on such as furniture for the house, it's not a fun experience and the reason isn’t just because we don’t see eye to eye on things.

When I’m shopping by myself and if I see something I like and my inside tells me it’s the right choice, I listen because the heart always knows. My sister on the other hand prefers to shop and compare even if whatever she is looking for is staring her right in the face.

Saturday we drove to the design district area of the city. We browsed around the first two home decor stores and there was nothing that really suited our taste that is until we arrived at the third store. You ever have that moment when you see something and you instantly get that feeling ‘this is right?’ That’s the feeling I got. The store carried everything we needed and the items were simply perfect. By some miracle 'A' agreed.

‘Where’s the salesperson?’ I asked.

‘Don’t go flagging anyone down yet,’ said A. ‘We still have a couple of more stores to look at.’

I groaned.

‘Why? Everything we like is right here.’

‘There maybe something else better and than you’ll be thanking me,’ my sister replied.

‘I doubt it.’

‘How can you be so sure of that?’

‘I just do. I’m telling you this is it.’

‘If there’s nothing else we like I promise we’ll come back here and place the order,’ she stated practically pushing me out of the store.

All the stores were in close proximity so we walked.....and.....shopped.....and.....compared.....only to return back to the third store because there was nothing else we liked. So I was right!

Afterward we made the decision to have dinner in the city and when I say we I really mean me. This time I selected the restaurant.

In the middle of enjoying a delicious meal I made a comment to ‘A’ how almost half the day was wasted because she refused to listen to me. I asked,

‘Now who’s the one who doesn’t listen?’

‘You still hold the record darling, now please pass the pepper,’ she replied.

The one good thing that did come from ‘shopping and comparing,’ there was a mammoth pet store in the area. I bought another goldfish. A companion for Nemo.
