Whew! Yesterday was so busy! The GC is powering down now, recharging for another afternoon of activity. Now I have a break from the Admiral (she's upgraded rank) to blog away...
We just got back from the Mall. (Yes I know... it's Charmaine's kryptonite... but the GC was only thinking about food and a new mattress... this was the closest compromise)
So after finishing lunch, we ambled the Mall looking for a new mattress. First store... nope... amble more... The GC started wobbling a little... power running down.... Uh Oh.... "I'm okay". We make it to Sears and find the mattress section. GC looks sleepy... good time for a break.
1st mattress: I lay down... ooh... nice.. but a little too soft... Time for the GC. Woompf! She collapses into the bed. Pillow covers all around her. In fact, I think she sunk in a couple of feet. Nope.. too soft...
I move on to the next one.... Er... um... Mike... can you help? I look back and see the top of the GC cresting over the bed and pillows... Ooops. She is officially a turtle now, stuck on her back with all fours floundering in the air. Eh huh uhhh huhh humpf! She's stuck. Poor woman. I sneak a sly smile as I walk over to help her up... Thanks.
2nd mattress: I lay down... oooh... way to firm... possibly a little bouncy. Er GC, maybe you should be caref... Ker-plumpf!! I barely look over in time to see the GC blur going to plop on the mattress... she hits the mattress and bounces straight back up!!! I think she got almost a foot of air until she landed back down. Wow!!! Um, Mike, I think this one is too firm. You could say that again.
Well, we finally go through a couple of more mattresses until we find the one. Again, Sears has a deal where you can put off the payments, interest free, for another 18 months.... More $$$$ flying out of my pockets!!!
In fact, I think the Sears has offically renamed the Green Machine, almost like stadium or football bowl games naming rights.
Welcome, to the "Green Machine, Presented by Sears!"
