."***Carrie's mother was present for my final embarrassment of the afternoon,but fortunately, most of the guests had left. The problem, as it turnedo...t, was the television that had been delivered earlier. While Lisa hadbeen able to transport most of the gifts out to Carrie's mother's ToyotaHighlander without a problem, the television was still standing in itscontainer in the exact spot where the delivery man had deposited it fromhis handcart.I stayed in the kitchen and tried to ignore the.
