More of the same, and a little on the side

What a banner week so far, two days, several blogs!

Took the kids out for a walk last night, boy do they like that. It's really nice here during monsoon season in the evenings. It is about 80 degrees and humid (which they like and to us it's nice and cool). We walked up to the neighbors house and looked at the donkey and horse that the neighbor's just bought. The kids really like getting out of the house, and generally pay attention to me.

I did have a little adventure at Target yesterday on my way home. I bought one of these storage bins 16 days ago, and they went on sale. I decided that for $20, I'll "return" the one that I bought and get another one. Well, since I purchased it more than 14 days ago, I had to actually return the product in order to then re-buy the product at the lower rate. As it turns out, the price matching at Target only applies to the first 14 days. Hrm, well, that made things slightly more difficult as I have already been using the storage bin for 2 weeks, and it's full of toys and the boxes have been trashed already. The associate was nice, but assured me there was nothing that he could do, so I said thanks, and "maybe I'll just go buy another one, and return it with the $60 receipt."...to which he replied, "if that's what you have to do, that's fine, just remember that you said it, not me". So off I went, buying another one at $40, just to return it for $60. 10 minutes later, I'm standing in front of the same guy telling him that the bin "just didn't meet my needs", to which he replies "that works for me". Then another trip through Target to buy yet another one this time for $40. All in all, in order to get my $20 I spent about an hour at Target. I can't decide if it was really worth it or not.

On another note, as I'm printing out the info-tube info sheets, the realtor calls and asks if the buyers that we've been playing footsies with can walk the property this morning. I'm not entirely sure what that means, but at least they're not out of the picture yet. Last night the realtor called and said that the buyers think that we're asking too much for the property, (we are), and would we entertain offers? I said sure! we'd entertain offers, of course we would! So we're again (still?) in waiting mode and hoping that they do make a reasonable offer so we don't have to dance the "sell the house" dance too awful much. Stef has been running the numbers and has already figured out our "rock bottom price", which we have to get in order to be satisfied. We'll see, and I'll keep you posted.

Seacrest Out!
