What do ya know, my Moms dislike of my sweater/coat has resulted in an offer from Aunt Ali to buy it from me for her nephew! (see yesterdays comments) Maybe I’ve stumbled onto a new business. I can wear clothes my Mom doesn’t like and then when others find out, they’ll offer to buy them! I’ll have to look around but I must have at least $129 worth of stuff she doen’t like. This is like winning the lottery, I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before! I’ll have to call Aunt Ali today to discuss her offer. It will be a tense negotiation as when you’re dealing with high fashion like my sweater/coat, you just can’t agree to the first offer. After all, according to my Mom, this is the first time ever, she’s ever seen me (according to her) wear something that wasn’t cutting edge and stylish. I can’t let this go too cheap as I figure if I wear it around her a few more times, I can probably get an Armani suit of out of her dislike for it. I’ll keep you posted.
The misses worked cleaning the L.O.L. house all afternoon yesterday for an extra $50 which always helps out. Today both boys have spelling tests and the youngest is up now practicing with Mom. She works today from 8 until 5 and I have a sales meeting at the distributor at 10:50 and then an appt. at 11:30 and hope to be home by 1pm or so.
It’s warming up around here meaning the dogs are bringing in a few pounds of mud each time they go in and out. Not much else going on except lots and lots of work. We have a big Andrea Bocelli event, after his concert in Austin Texas on February 10th, and the person supposedly in charge in our company really doesn’t have a knack for event planning or details and seems a bit overwhelmed. So we’re going to put the misses in charge. I know she’ll be all over it, guests will receive gift bags when they arrive at the hotel, town cars will be waiting, and the private VIP reception with Andrea will be set up perfectly. After all, this is her forte, she lives for planning party’s. Who knows, maybe this will be her new career!
The misses and I did make it to the gym yesterday and we walked the dogs. Today it’ll be a bit tougher to squeeze in some exercise. The kids are going snow boarding Sunday and taking a lesson in the morning before the football games start so maybe the misses and I will ski for a half day. We probably won’t just because it’d be $100 in lift tickets alone. The kids lessons are free from a guy we know who’s doing us a favor.
Well, time for me to run as I slept in and it’s now 6am. There’s a bunch of new movies out we’d like to see and thanks to Grandma Annette and Grandpa Jim for the movie passes the boys received for Christmas, we for sure will be using them.
Ok, take care, have a great day and God Bless each of you, we’ll see you (talk to you) tomorrow!
