Mood:  hungry

I am starting to get frustrated with my search to find decent, inexpensive patio furniture. The stores are still charging $200 to $1000 for items that will spend their existence outside in the elements. I just refuse to pay that much. Harris Teeter has a set on sale for $199 with your MVP card but it isn’t really what I want. Maybe Lennie and I can ride over to take a look at it tonight.

I finally got rid of the extra bed that Overstock sent me. I posted an ad on Graig’s list on Monday and the gentleman came over to pick it up last night. I had a little bit of a bidding war going on between the gentleman and this horrible aggressive woman. Even though the woman offered me more, I ended up letting it go for $140 to the gentleman. My ad was very detailed and included all the measurements and a picture of the bed. The woman kept emailing me asking me questions about the bed that was already listed in the ad. At one point she asked me to measure he bed diagonally. WTF! I finally told her that the bed was spoken for and pending pickup but she still kept asking questions. She tried to get me to lower my price and finally when I got through to her that I was giving it to someone else she kept upping her price. She told me that she could come and get it RIGHT NOW! I told her I work and would not be home until 5PM. She just kept saying, “I can take it off your hands right now. You don’t need to wait till tonight.*Sigh* I finally just ignored her and went with my first choice. The gentleman emailed me this morning thanking me and told me how much his wife loved the bed. I am glad they will enjoy it.

This will be a quiet weekend for me. I am going to do some yard work if the rain holds off as well as try to make a dent in my laundry. Lennie will be helping out a friend Saturday and possibly Sunday. I don’t know if we will see each other in the evenings. It will just be so nice to have a weekend where I don’t have to build or paint something.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.
