The Revealing

No, I won't be posting pictures of me without my 'garmentary' as mentioned in the comments of the previous post, but I now will reveal the source of my recent monetary disappointment. The monetary disappointment in the amount of $27.90.

This past fall I relinquished my former 'factory' clothing to a consignment store in Berrytropolis. In total I surmise that I spent in excess of $500 for these special garments that covered my, now retired, manufacturer of quality products like Sorbet and Nova.

This was a ginormous bag of goods, and all sold, boiled down to less than a spanky new pair of jeans for me. See, they were supposed to give back the unsold merchandise but when I was there they told me it had ALL sold and that was all that I got for it (40% cut). So I left the place of consignment, disillusioned and kinda mad. I had really hoped to get at least enough for some spanky new JEANS!!!

My day was cut short due to funding and I arrived home at a very reasonable hour, only to receive a call from the place - I have decided is my personal charity case for the year and will claim this incident on my taxes as such - saying 'oops! we found your bag of leftover clothes here' and 'can you just come in and pick those up before months end or we'll send them over to another charity case we know called Sally Ann?'

Right. I'll just boogie on in there to pick that up - stat.

this has totally not inspired me to take in my pregnancy clothes (from the 1980s) when the huge panel front and never-ending-a** were really cool... guess i'll just keep those in the box and bring them out some day to laugh...

once a year i'll do that... bring out the bag of clothes, laugh like dr.evil and then put them away (i have alot of closet space)

tee hee! do you ever put them on?

Oh Joy said...

Yeah, Cat, do you wear them?

catherine said...

i've been known to wear them to an event or two throughout the year... i like to mix it up once in awhile... i brittany can go bald (everywhere) then i can wear prego clothes to the grocery store...

i just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you jamie what a wonderful mother you are, for taking your clothes to sell them to get money to buy more - such great motherhood skills of conserving money and, um, recycling... yes...

flibirdijibit said...

thank you KittyCat! That means a lot to me that you would compliment my mothering skillz....it's so out of the blue! I just wasn't expecting this! Wow.

Oh Joy said...

I wanna say that you could do better. I barely want my kids hanging out with yours. I try hard to keep them apart. And that's b/c of you.

catherine said...

she's lying to you... all she does is gush and gush about your motherhood abilities... she can't get enough - she enjoys being in your presence so she herself becomes a better mother...

and so funny this all came from a conversation about wanting new JEANS... but you deserve the new jeans, as you are such a great mother...

Oh Joy said...

Actually more b/c she got ripped off royallly. Remember $27.90.

And I think you are a dead beat of epic levels Jammer.

Well 'epic' might be a bit too generous but I feel that it's a work in progress. Let's wait for the girls to grow up a little bit, start their own blogs or whatever the fad is at the time and they can let the world know the extent of my Deadbeatleness.

jason just looked at this and i asked him what he thought of your mothering abilities... and he said that by the sound of it, you possibly are the best mother the world has ever seen...

and seeings how glenna vowed to never contradict him again... she has to agree... so sorry glenna, you have to cease and desist all the negative comments to poor lil' jamie...kins...

flibirdijibit said...

wow. i think we have just stumbled upon something here....

The best deadbeat mom the world has ever seen!
