Pink,

That is the absolutely saddest thing I’ve ever heard. I can’t believe that! Like at all! I love rocking chairs and so I can totally sympathize. Who would do such a thing. All I can say is what goes around comes around.

[...] look at the chairs at my local thrift store. Always. And some days are luckier than others. (Remember this day? I do. I still cry a little inside thinking about it*.) But yesterday I found a total gem (as far as thrift stores go). I was going to wait until I [...]

You are such a great writer. I seriously felt your pain and had a tear in my eye. And I’m not even joking or being sarcastic. That just sucks. It’s horrible enough to fall in love with something and not have the money to buy it but when you have already paid for it and it’s taken, that’s just thievery. So sad. I just can’t stand people most days. Unless they thought the “SOLD” sign said “buy me now”, there’s no excuse. Hope you find an even better chair very soon!

Yeah, they refunded my money. And I’ve found a few more rocking chairs since then, but none of them measured up to this one. Ah well, better to have loved and lost then never loved at all. I guess that’s what “they” say. I think “they” never lost the perfect rocking chair.

Oh no! That’s so lame of them! I hate it when you have your heart set on something and then can’t get it for some reason (like some thief steals it out from under you). I hope you got your money back at least.

Oh this is awful! And I seriously didn’t see that ending coming. We need to talk thrift stores. I just heard of one in American Fork that I’m wondering if you’ve been to. Um. How I about I just e-mail you?

Ah honey, I’m so sorry! I really am, little tears in the corner of my eye. :’(

I’ll be your best friend, even though I’m not a rocking chair…is that okay?

I, like my sister feel, so sad, not because I love furniture so much, but I just love a good deal! I love the hunt of going out and finding the perfect thing…but I don’t like it ‘enough’ unless it’s also about half price. And the rocking chair was just the right thing and it was a rockin’ price. Agh! How could someone take it after you already paid for it? That’s so rude!

That is seriously one of the saddest stories I have ever heard. I am not being sarcastic at all, cross my heart. I have a few favorite thrift/antique stores here and when I find a gem I am SO anxious to hurry and get it home, where it belongs, and put it in its spot, and look at it. And then I look at it some more. I still go into my girls room just to look at their armoire, which I am in love with and we have had for about 2 years now. I really feel for you!

(I loved how you related a BFF necklace to your claim ticket–very witty. You’re a great writer.)
