{not really, but i feel like being dramatic right now.
even though i am really not that mad i kinda am but i am over it. sort of
oh and michael says that on the office when carol breaks up with him}
so a couple of weeks ago, i went out of my usual bubble and exceeded even my
own expectations. i went christmas shopping. early. as in not on christmas eve.
i was so excited because i had gotten sean something that i knew he was not expecting.
sean used to have a pass to a certain well known popular gym. rhymes with.... bolds. anyway, it expired shortly before we got married. well sean has been complaining a lot lately about his gut. i think it
is fine, but he is kinda the girl in this relationship, and really wants to get in shape.
so i went in to this gym and was like,
"here is the deal, i want a gym pass for sean. i don't want to pay more than
this much." they were like,
"well are you interested in getting a pass too? we offer great deals for couples."
and i was like,
"hahaha, that is really funny. but um, no. i bought one before and i used it like 6 times.
in 2 years. that is like $100 for every time that i went. and i was only there for like 10 minutes each time. biggest waste of money i ever spent. well i will be honest, i pretty much
just bought it with my sister so that we
could get the keychain and at least "look" like we work out. i paid big bucks for that.
i think it worked though.. i would flash those babies anytime i wanted to look like a
person who worked out. i am sure after further investigation, it would appear
that i never actually used the pass..but that is besides my point. so yeah. wait. maybe
it is my point. i will never use it."
so they were like "okay, well we can offer you this deal.....blah blah"
and i was like "alright, sounds good. so i want this to be a surprise. do you understand?
it is a christmas surprise."
the lady says,
"oh yes! of course! we will not have any contact with him until after
christmas. usually we have a trainer call to set up an orientation, but i will make sure
that they wait until after the 25th."
me:
"perfect. this is awesome. he is going to be so surprised."
WRONG.
today we came home from work and there was a letter in our mailbox.
and it was from this gym. addressed to Sean.
and it said "Congratulations on your new membership!"
well look at that.
i was so angry, and i got all pouty and sean wasn't even sure what was going
on and i totally threw the letter and threw a fit and went and laid on the bed
and said "christmas is cancelled! it is over."
then i thought sean was just trying to pretend that he didn't know what it was..
which i later found out, he really didn't know what it was..
so i was like "Merry Effin Christmas."
and i gave him the gym pass.
then i felt bad for saying that.
but then i cursed the gym and vowed to never
ever, ever, go christmas shopping early. ever again.
because if i had waited til the last minute?
this never would have happened.
christmas would not be ruined.
and i would have saved money because
i would have just got sean that gun he wanted
and not the un-refundable gym pass.
also, i vow never to go to a gym again.
they ruined christmas.
and that is not cool. not cool at all.
sean says, "you should go in and tell them. maybe they will offer you a free pass."
oh yeah sean. good one. what the heck am i going to do with a gym pass?
* oh, and then i went to the mall because i was so depressed and spent way too much money
but did get some cute stuff so it made me feel better but then i felt like a total scrooge
because i was buying stuff for myself but then i remembered that it is the gym's fault. not mine.
i felt much better after. and all is well.
