I'm serious...it's terrible! I have decided that having a piece of exercise equipment in our basement would be much more effective than paying a gym membership for a gym I never use. I get home and I don't want to leave again, but if I had a bike or elliptical in the basement, I could go down in my pjs and have my running shoes down there, turn on the tv to whatever I want to watch at whatever volume I feel like and go! I could handle 30 minutes to an hour every day or two. I know I could do it no problem. I generally stick to the same pieces of equipment when I go to the gym anyway, so it's not like I would get bored of it.
I decided to buy something from Sears. I heard good things and I have some money left on my Sears card. I've been doing some research and checking prices and flyers like mad. We went to check out some ellipticals...wayyy too cheap and crappy. I was really upset because I was sooo excited about getting one, but I'm not going to spend that much (even if it's not that expensive) on something that can't take a little abuse from being in the store. Then I checked out some recumbant bikes...getting better. The girl tells me this Saturday and Sunday that one I had my eye on was going on sale for $200 off. I also see an elliptical for $300 off in the flyer that looks decent. We go in today and decide that I can get the expensive bike or the elliptical by putting half on my Sears card and half on Mike's Visa as long as I promise to stick with it. Deal! We're back in business! With our taxes due and whatnot, it's the best we can do right now. First off, the elliptical wasn't in store. I'm not buying something I can't even try out. So I decide to go for the bike which is kind of what I had my mind set on anyway. They ring it in and I get $20 from the skratch and save sale (oh boy..lol) and I go to give her my Sears card and ask her to put on half. "Oh sorry, we can't split up credit cards. We can split debit and cash, but not credit cards." WTF?? What kind of business practice is that? Instead of asking for a manager (which I should have done), I left. I was just so stunned, I left.
Fuck that. When I win my million dollars for life on Wednesday, I'm going to go in to Sears and tell them I'm buying an entire home gym, then when they ask how they can help, I will continue by saying, "Oh sorry, you didn't let me finish...I'm not buying it here...I just wanted you to know that you're assholes and I'm spending all sorts of money somewhere else." Then I'll feel much better! lol
So I went to Michael's and bought some watercolours and paint brushes instead. If I can't make myself pretty, I might as well at least make some pretty pictures right? :P
