My husband asked if I wanted to go shopping yesterday. ALWAYS! But that meant (for him) we go to Verizon and shop for better wifi/phone plans. KILL ME NOW. If I believed in hell, it would be populated by salesmen with never-ending pitches, and the music over the speakers would be "Believe" by Cher. And Van Halen's "Jump." That, to me, is hell.

The Hoarders recap is up, and I want to caution some of you that Carrie's story deals with sexual abuse. Skip the fifth - eighth paragraph if you want to read about her remarkable turn around, but don't want to read about her past.

[ETA] And feel free to rec or share links to the Hoarders discussions. :)

RHoBH is due later, and tonight: TUNE IN TO SOUTHLAND, for the love of all that's holy and good. If you were a fan of The Wire or Homicide, this is the show for you. If you just love smart and gritty story-telling, this is the show for you. (I'll have the recap up tomorrow am.) And for those that asked, the American Horror Story finale was missing due to a snafu. Sam will have that up today. :D (Thanks for bringing that to my attention, also!)

I had Godiva truffles yesterday (my husband's apology for making me want to poke things with sharpened sticks) and I'm still on a sugar high. Also, I got a BAD ASS DEAL on some Riedel stemware at Williams-Sonoma. Normally two glasses are about $49, and I bought EIGHT for THIRTY DOLLARS. Thirty smackaroos. Triente dolares. Muy bien! Why? Because the box had a bend in the corner. The glasses were in perfect condition, but the box was "ugly." I DO NOT CARE, IT'S GOING TO THE RECYCLE BIN. You may have heard strange dolphin noises yesterday - that would have been me.

AND YES I CHRISTENED THEM LAST NIGHT. (Markham Cab Sav, yet again. It's a quality red, gotta say.)

What? No. Shopping does not equal Verizon store! Verizon store is a circle of hell for sure. It's AWFUL. That's bait and switch right there! Hey, stoney, would you like some new shoesheywaitIjustneedtotalkcellphoneplansforanhour.

I am still boggling over those glasses being marked down because the box wasn't perfect. The BOX.

Didn't I tell you that yesterday? UGH. And of course it's in the mall, so I was excited about shoes. GAH.

I am, too, but honey chile, I am not gonna look that gift horse in the mouth. SO. PLEASED. *clink!*

(I have an email for you, I'm just trying to get the last recaps up) <3

No you did NOT tell me about the Verizon store! Or if you did I was delirious and totally missed it, but since I hate the Verizon store with a fiery passion I think you were just super excited about the glasses!

(Do your thing. Write your recaps, write your story, love on Sally. There is no timeline for replying to me!)

I *so* agree about the vision of hell as "shopping" for a cell phone plan. They deliberately make it confusing and difficult to compare between plans. The only thing worse is car shopping.

What a great deal on the glasses! I'll have to look for dented boxes like that one. :-)

OH MY GOD. The only thing worse is when the cable/satellite guys try and upsell you. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. GO AWAY.

The Mr. loves it. He's weird.

Man, the back of the Williams-Sonoma store is ALWAYS the first place to go, Pro Tip. :D

That is not shopping, that is suffering!

Well, something knew you were suffering and banged up a box as a consolation prize.

I can't believe anyone would willing go to the Verizon store unless they were planning to murder people there. They have never once honored any agreement.
