Crazy...

I have been such a bad blogger lately. There have been many things I keep saying I am gonna blog about and then I don't. Well today I am going to blog and I actually mean it.

A couple weeks ago I posted this picture (see below) on Facebook with the caption this is what I want for Christmas. My husband laughs and tells me no, but just like most things I didn't believe him. I knew that if I really wanted it come Christmas morning I would probably have it.

Now with that being said, two weeks ago Mike and I are in Kansas City for the Chiefs game, since it was a night game we decided to do some shopping at the mall. I knew there was a Zales in the mall so I was excited. I wasn't thinking that he would buy me the ring but I thought he might at least put it on layaway. So we go into the store and I'm looking and I find it. Its a beautiful as the pictures. I try it on and I love it. So the sales lady ask if she could wrap it up for us (as if we made any indication that we were going to buy it.) Mike said no, not right now and I am okay with this. So since she didn't get the response from Mike she wanted she says to me, how about you just purchase it for yourself.

I laughed...

First of all maybe not every family is like this but I do NOT purchase a $500.00 item with out discussing it with my husband first. We discuss big item purchases before making one and  a 500.00 ring falls into that category.
Second, was she trying to start an arguement. Could you imagine if I would have said oh yes, please! (he all ready had said not right now)

I realize she may have been doing her job but I refuse to do business with a company that tries to get you to do something like that. It was all business to her but that is not how we do things in this household and I won't be doing business with them. SO needless to say I will NOT be getting that ring, my choice. I just told Mike I would find another ring or something that I like. I have no desire to do business with a company that promotes that kind of thing. Now if my husband made 100,000 per year it might be different but for no more than he makes I would never make a purchase (even for him) without discussing it first.
