A Lazy Sunday
It snowed this morning.
It had snowed overnight - just enough to dust everything in white, and was snowing again when we came out of Costco. This sort of snow I like - it looks nice, melts within the day, and basically has no negative effect on life at all.
Dawnise wasn't feeling to great, so we we scratched our plans for the Underground Tour, came home and she took a nap.
She woke up around 2:30 and wanted to get out of the apartment for a while, so we hopped int he car and drive to a mattress factory we'd seen an ad for in a local paper. May not sound like a fun outing, but we'd ditched our old mattress when we moved, so until we buy a new one, we'll be sleeping on the floor in our new house.
Walked in, were getting the spiel from the sales critter, and when he got to the "free delivery" part Dawnise asked: "Do you deliver to Bainbridge?"
He laughed.
Apparently not - not even for a fee. Which is odd, considering Custom Comfort, the company we bought our last matress from, will ship one up here for us.
We got the same cool reception at a "main land" furniture store we went to a week or so ago. Found a really cool sofa/loveseat/chaise set that we were about ready to buy - a couple thousand dollars in all, and they wouldn't take more of our money to deliver it. Seems penny wise, pound foolish.
