I Caved.....

I went out (without hubby knowing) and got him the motorcycle he's been wanting for ummm let me see FOREVER! I was so againsts a bike, but for selfish reasons. I talked to the salesman and it's really not a big bike at all, it's a starter. It's a Ninja 500EX, Red....and I must say, he looks pretty sexy on it. I tried to get it delivered that same night to suprise him, but that didn't work. So I went to Wal-Mart and got him a toy one. I wrapped up the key in red tissue paper and put it in the bottom of the red gift bag. Then I took the remaining red paper and put it around the toy and made it look all pretty. I got him a card and so on. I sat it in his bathroom on the sink. When he got home from work I was fixing dinner and he asked if he could squeeze in and use the sink, I said...what's wrong with yours? He went into his bathroom (pounting a bit I wouldnt' let him use the kitchen sink...lol) He states, Oh, now I see why that sink wasn't good enough. So he washes up and brings his gift out to the Living Room. He opens the card, and is confused when he reads the part that I wrote that said, Please don't make me regret this....He takes out the toy and thinks that he finally got his bike (the toy) I told him, there is more...he gets to the paper wrapped key and can't get it out. You'd think he knew, he finally get's it and looks at it and looks at me...I told him it will be delivered tomorrow...He is speachless and keeps asking me if I'm serious. It was so wonderful to be able to suprise him with that gift. It was quite affordable and one of the stipulations is that he can not complain about my shopping anymore. LOL and I can look into getting LapBand Surgery. So it's sort-a win win for me.

Craigs List

I wanted to tell you guys about my weird craigslist.com experience. First off let me tell you that I love craigslist. It is easier to navigate than ebay and I enjoy looking at what's free and what other people want. I always look at the want ads incase I have something that they want I can get rid of. But yesterday I was browsing for a tent. This weekend is suppose to be so nice, it makes me want to camp. I found a brand new in the box Eddie Bauer Sequoia 7 person tent (retail $180) for $99 cash, not negotiable. Okay I thought, if it's really new and all the parts are there, that's a really good deal. So I sent an email reply to see if it was still available. I left my cell for the seller to contact me, since it was near the end of the day. He called yesterday evening. He did infact still have the tent and was pretty flixible that evening for meeting him. He asked that I meet him in the old Circuit City parking lot in NJ, just across the PA line. So it only took me half hour or so to get there. So Scott and I head out. We call seller to tell him we've arrived, and he shows up a few minutes later. He lives close to this spot he tells me previously. We looked at the tent, decided to purchase it, exchanged tent for money, and were carrying on a conversation about his internet business and what else he sells, etc., when in Mid-Sentence he says....Okay Thanks, I gotta go. As we get back into our car, I noticed that a Police car was traveling thru the parking lot (it was a strip-mall) So he saw that police car and bolted....That really made us wonder if the tent we just purchased was HOT. We we actually teasing about it on the way over, I told Scott I was going to ask him if it was a Chinese knock-off, like those designer hand bags you can buy really cheap. Scott said he was going to call the guy and ask him if it was stolen and tell him that we just got pulled over and the police were tearing apart our trunk, he said the guy would probably just hang up on him. I told him that he probably had just been in trouble in that town before, for conducting business in the parking lot of a store. Any thoughts?
