Some interesting events today. Work was work and was all set to go home when I dug a little deeper into my in box and discovered something that had to get into the mail. I hope I put the thing together right since I was on my own and in a rush to get it to the mailbox. I'm just really glad that I found it. I wouldn't want to have explained that in the morning!
DD and her BF heard back about the house. The sellers countered back with the asking price. They purchased the house 4 years ago, didn't invest any money into it since it was all done when they bought it and now are looking to gain a pretty substantial profit even though the comps for the area are not showing their asking price. It certainly doesn't seem, at this point, that they want to negotiate. So they'll leave their offer on the table and see what happens.
My DSW shoe order came and I was so disappointed. The shoes are so cute and so comfy but even though they're the same size, same manufacturer one pair is too big and flopping off my feet and the other pair feel too small and my feet feel squished. I'm going to take them back to DSW and see if they have them in my size or else try to reorder them from the website.
DH seems to have forgotten that the dog we have will go to any lengths to get any type of food that is left unattended. So even though I reminded him to put away the crackers and cookies that were on the table when I left at lunch time he apparently went and got the blueberry cake I made on Sunday and forgot to put that way. So Mr. Otto helped himself to about 3/4 of a blueberry coffee cake. We'll just say that he had a few digestive issues on our walk this evening!
Other DD is requesting heavy duty hole digging equipment and any volunteers I can round up. She asked me to put the word out! I don't know exactly what stupidity came out of the stupid boy's mouth-but apparently it was bad!
DH was on the phone when I left with Otto with his former parts manager and when I came back from my bike ride he was on the phone with some one else asking about what the hourly wage and benefits package was. Apparently someone from another dealership contacted DH's former parts manager asking where DH went. They have a job opening and wanted to know if DH was interested. He would be back to a 5 day (no Saturday) work week but the guy didn't have any information on salary or benefits. It is a non union shop so benefits would definitely be different and we would definitely be paying for part of the insurance package which we don't do now. DH is going to call back tomorrow and see if there's an offer on the table for him and what it would be.
Guess it's time to head to the shower. I had to head to the grocery store after my bike ride since DS' love of his Honey Nut Cheerios put me almost out of the milk that I just bought Sunday!
Well...the day didn't go exactly as I had planned but it turned out better as far as seeing family and enjoying grandchildren. I had my step mom here from Fl, my dinl with the 4 grandchildren from NC, DD with grandson, other DD with the 2 granddaughters and DH...yeah...got to include him too! My head is spinning and I can't wait to hit the hay.
Got a call from the specialist's DH (he works in the office)
