Good morning! Two more days here, then we'll go out to the camper and get it winterized. bah humbug. The campground closes on 10/15, and re-opens on 4/15 (weather permitting).
Went online to buy a dryer last night. Sears won on price/model, then we play the "who has it in stock" game? Of course the 2 stores closest to me won't have one until November! But lo and behold, the one in Delaware has it!! Stick it in the cart, go through the screens for delivery - DAMMIT! Apparently they only deliver to my zip code Tues, Thurs and Sat, with the first available date after vacation is over. 
Nope, not taking a day off work to wait for a dryer delivery.
OK, no biggie, I'll drive down and pick it up. Check the measurements, yup - it will fit in the Jeep no problem! The other added bonus is that if I pick it up, there is no sales tax!
So I go down this afternoon, and guess what? "So sorry Ms. P, but we don't have that model in stock" WTF?? Then why did the website tell me it was there and let me check out?? 
To make an already long story shorter, I ended up getting last years' version, at $100 less, PLUS a 10% discount for being a floor model.
Why is it that nothing is ever easy??

I like the $100 discount, but the rest is just craptastic. We've had it happen, so now we call the store and verify before we ever place the order. They've made me give them a credit card to hold it. Fine, just have the freaking thing when I get there. It doesn't help that I hate shopping. Except for Ikea, they have meatballs. 
Happy Sunday! We had fun last night. I've been tempted to call my friend since 6 this morning. She really tied one on. I'm guessing she's pretty miserable today. 
sometimes fun has a price to pay. A friend of mine got soo wasted she was missing for a whole week.
She said she feels just fine, she got up at noon. She didn't answer me when I asked her if she wanted to come over for brats and kraut.
Could have done without that rain, Andy and I went out on the bikes for the weekend. Now mine needs a bath!
Yup, same here.
It's sunny here today, but a week of rain is supposed to start tomorrow. Mr. V is up on the roof fixing the flashing around the chimney. It was leaking last week. The chimney doesn't go to anything, it's just hanging out taking up space in the back of the warehouse. And leaking apparently. Always something.
Good morning! It's sunny and cool here, the rain starts this afternoon according to the weatherliar. We'll see.
I got an instapot as well. General tso' s chicken is awesome! Mac and cheese with kielbasa makes me happy too.
I got a new pet on the way, as well.
These are her parents. [emoji3]
