You know you shopped too much when…

December 10, 2008 By: nooccar Category: Donna, Pittsburgh, holidays

I wanted an awesome Stillers (that’s Steeler for yinz who don’t come from the ‘burgh!) sweatshirt on Black Friday from Penney’s but they only had Cowboys (terrible!) and Cardinals (go figure, we’re in AZ!). I finally convinced catalog to order me up one, but the makers were gonna have to mail it straight to my house. This was fine with me since I live 10 miles from our local Penney’s.

After about 2 weeks I was pissed my shirt hadn’t come so I called to complain. Yesterday Penney’s catalog told me it was currently on the UPS truck to be delivered that day. My only package at home that night was a gift for a family member, so today while we were cooking dinner, I was complaining to Donna about Penney’s. I said something about the awesome Steelers sweatshirt for under $30 that I had ordered and hoped to wear to work while they’re in the playoffs.

She gave me this odd look and started laughing. Yesterday a package had come in her name. She’d opened it when I was out of the room and quickly wrapped it for me. She thought she had forgot and bought me a new Stillers shirt for Christmas!
