So it started out well. I went and checked out this playhouse and ended up buying it. (I didn't haggle with her at all, I just gave her what she asked for. Grumpy was a little grumpy about that... but I don't know how to haggle!) She was very nice and when the whole thing didn't fit in the back of the pilot she offered to put it in the back of her minivan and followed us to our home and helped unload! Very sweet.
The house is super cute, and Little Miss loved it! I got it for $65. Please tell me you think that is a good deal, even if it isn't. But tell me you are not lying it really is a good deal. For reals. Seriously.
Silly, silly girl.
THEN, I was going to go check out this water/sand table this evening after I dropped of Cheetah Boy with his bio-dad. However, I was driving there using my phone as my GPS and I was, oh, about 4 minutes, MAYBE, from the house and my phone died. I have NEVER had my phone die on me before. So I drove around the neighborhood about a half hour, because from my knowledge of how addresses work I knew I was close. (Apparently my knowledge of addresses isn't that awesome though.) But alas I could not find it. And I was thinking, I better get home and charge/check my phone because I told Grumpy I was checking something out on craigslist and I was stressed out it was some crazy person. Yes, I passed many people out for an evening stroll, and I could/should have asked if they knew where the street was, but I hate people remember? I know I have issues. But when I got home, there were no worried messages on my phone. (sigh) Something terrible could have happened! Well worse then what did happen.
Oh well, I got the house at least. I could go back and look at the table tomorrow, but I am not sure I want to know how close I was. And it is a 20 minute drive from my house, and I feel like I would need to get a better deal on it. I don't know, we shall see.
So there you go. Ok, hope you are having a better Friday the 13th then I. (Ok, I know I need to focus on the WIN I had, not fail.)
Kisses~
What craigslist wins and/or fails have you had??
I think that's a GREAT deal! It looks in super good shape! Tell Grumpy that he better call next time he thinks you could have been abducted by a Craigslist Crazy!! Butt face! I LOVE your blog, and I LOVE you!!! I want to come over and see your place, it looks AMAZING!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Grumpy needs to fine tune his psychic abilities!
ReplyDeleteYou are hysterically funny and I love how everything you do turns into an adventure!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, Grumpy reminded me that actually the last text I sent him was that the craigslist lady DID NOT answer her phone, so he didn't realize I was going.... whatever. I'm still annoyed about the whole thing!
