The Chandelier...

As is a typical Thursday evening right now, I was sitting in my car, listening to Caillou while Olivia was at soccer practice and Mia was in the backseat watching Caillou.
Being bored, I called people - my brother, my mom, and the only one that answered, my husband.
After talking for a few minutes, he says to me, "Do you want a chandelier?"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Do you want a chandelier?  A customer had it in the back of their car and didn't want it.  I'm bringing it home.  But really, it's too nice for our house."
"Um, ok.  Bring it home, I'll take a look at it."

My reaction may have been less than my husband expected.  I did not and do not like this chandelier.  It is NOT too nice for my house.  I may have fleetingly thought that it would bring down the value of my house.

I told him that was a Grandma chandelier.  And not MY Grandma's chandelier, because she has taste.

The chandelier is gone.  I don't know where.  Hopefully to a good home that will love the chandelier until it can chanda no longer.
