But first, a brief message from our sponsor. I decided to take the day off from language lessons in honor of my amazing wife, Olga. For those of you that don't know, today is Olga's birthday, so please be sure to send her happy birthday emails, etc. (she really loves it!). Happy birthday sweetie! я тебя люблю. But seriously, I am quiet a lucky person to have found Olga. She puts up with my feeble attempts at humor (I think she may even like it sometimes), she deals with the mood swings and she doesn't even get offended that I slaughter her native language! Not to mention, I mean honestly folks, how many of your significant others would have let you retire at my age (just kidding honey)?
And now, back to our regularly scheduled program. Ahh, the day has finally arrived where we get to find out if the dry cleaning mission was a success or a failure. I wandered over to the dry cleaning place late this afternoon only to find my favorite person working at the counter. Yep, you guessed it, it was the lady from last week. Oh boy. When she finally decided to end her phone call (I'm sure it wasn't personal, given that it was on a cell phone and all) I thought she was going to have a coronary when she saw the person standing there was no other than the annoying person that doesn't speak Russian.
Well, she gathered herself and started speaking very quickly about....well, about something (she was speaking Russian, of course). I caught the word telephone in there and figured she was telling me that she wanted a telephone number. Hmm, this sounds familiar. I believe we've had this conversation already. So I again informed her that I don't know the number (in Russian) and she kept on talking. Oh well.
She pulled the clothes from the rack. That's a relief, at least she is going to get something. Just hope it's actually our clothes. She showed me the items. Yep, looks like our stuff. Nice, mission accomplished!. It just goes to show you that even if two people don't speak the same language things can be accomplished.
