So I've been looking to get a new acoustic guitar for a few weeks now. My cheapy Fender from like 12 years ago is pretty beat up... Went to the local guitar shop yesterday and played probably a dozen or so guitars until I found one that sounded excellent at a reasonable price. Snapped a quick picture of it on my cellphone to show my wife and left.
My plan was to sell my xbox360 and all my games when I got out of work today and go pick up the guitar. Work called as I was walking in my front door so I was a bit distracted and unaware of my surroundings when I got inside. Set the mail and my paperwork for the day on the table, still talking to work... Let the dogs out, finally hang up with work. Take my coat off, get changed out of my work clothes, let the dogs in, give them a treat, turn on the TV, turn on the computer, grab something to eat/drink...all the while not noticing the guitar case leaning against the table (I actually had to reach around it to put the mail on the table earlier...).
I think, "oh, my brother must have dropped off the guitar case I asked him to lend me...". I walk over and open it up and...
...inside rests the guitar I was about to go sell my xbox for...
Turns out, my wife had a dentist appointment this morning before work and she stopped by the guitar shop afterward. The guy working at the shop remembered me and the guitar I was looking at the day before and was so amazed she was buying it for me without me knowing that he threw in a free hard case (pretty decent one too).
Needless to say, I have my work cut out for me on Valentine's Day next week
