Scooters, Sideboards & Sofas, Oh My

Took the scooter out of the parking lot yesterday morning and did *pretty* well. Accelerating out of an intersection will be an adjustment but I'll get it. Amazingly, my abs got a pretty good workout while riding. : ) I love unintentional workouts. 

I got the antique sideboard yesterday too. Wanted it as a birthday gift so that I wouldn't have to help with the loading and unloading, but at least I got it. And a neighbor of my mom's helped my brother load it into the truck (I really lucked out there) and then boyfriend helped us unload it. It is so much easier sliding it out the truck bed and moving it than lifting it up and moving it.

Lost my sofa yesterday to my brother and Macy's is on my sh*tlist. When I ordered my sofa, in late June, I was told that I'd get it "late july or early august." Well, it's still early August and it is now in stock but I'm told that delivery won't happen until the week of the 19th. Uh, I'm not spending almost two weeks without a couch! My salesperson is supposed to get back to me soon about any openings this week (if I don't hear from him today I'm calling first thing Monday...)

I need my new couch.

I am not a happy Macy's customer. I hope they send me a "How was your shopping experience?" survey... I'm brutally honest with those.
