Well, now Penny says it's MY TURN.
Our first order was placed by Penny.
And NOW....
I must order and pick up at Mary's home because Penny believes that this experience would give me some blog material.
I called Mary and left a message, that I am Barbara, Penny's Partner, and I would like to place an order.
The phone rings....
It's MARY!
Mary: Hello this is Mary you wanted to order avon...
Barb: Yes. Hello Mary!
Mary: Is this Penny's Partner Deborah?
Barb: My name is Barbara
Mary: Deborah?
Barb: No. BAR-BAR-A
Mary: Oh, Debra?
Barb: No B-AR-BA-RRA Like the beach boys song Barbara Ann
Mary: Oh, why didn't you say so? I would have called you Deborah.
Barb: Ok...On page 116 I would like to order the Footprints watch.
Mary: okay. Are you religious?
Barb: Well....
Mary: I'm just asking?
Barb: I believe in God and Jesus, and....
Mary: is that it? or is there more to your order?
Barb: Oh no, I have a few things.... Page 119 The digital counting money jar.
Mary: Okay....Do you have a business?
Barb: No.
Mary: I was just asking if you were going to use this for your business. I'm not nosey or anything. I just think it would be a good idea for a business,how many do you want? What do YOU do for a living?
Barb: I only want the one. oh, and I'm on disability because of my MS
Mary: Your What?
Barb: Multiple Sclerosis.
Mary: Oh, I knew someone who recently died of MS. That actress Annette Funicello has it, is SHE dead yet?
Barb: Ummm No....Ummm.... Page 127 the foot messager for $7.99
Mary: Do you have a little tub that you soak your feet in?
Barb: No.
Mary: I was just asking.
Barb: .... and Penny would like the Curves Flip Flops in a size 9. But Mary, keep this all one order....
Mary: I know, your Penny's Paaaa-ttnaaa.
Barb: yup almost 18 years now....Well, that's it Mary, that's my order.
Mary: 18 years....Most marriages don't last that long. So what's your last name?
Barb: The same as Penny's DEL PIANO.
Mary: Isn't that sweet. I'm not being nosey or anything, I was just curious.
Barb: Oh, no of course not, well, thank you Mary.
Mary: Yeah. I'll call you when it's in, it doesn't go in until June 5th you know.
Barb: No problem, it gives me time to get the money ready for ya. Take Care!
