Sunday morning
Yesterday was my 17th wedding anniversary. It was a nice day. Alan and I went out early in the day to get some things for Conor for baseball and we "snuck" and had lunch too. Hee Hee! He made me buy some new shoes, I mean I needed them but I am CHEAP and don't like buying shoes over 35$ a pair cause it just feels like I am being very selfish. My new tennis shoes weren't too bad and I did need them.
We had a tiny visitor last night kind of late. Our cat likes to be outside in the summer and then inside during the winter (duh - cause she is a smart cat). So, after I had fallen asleep she was meowing outside our bedroom window and Alan assumed she wanted to come in. He opened the door and called her and in she came. He saw he kind of mess with something and then this baby bunny took off into the living room. So, he wakes me up to come help look for it to get it out of the house. It had hidden under a table and crawled into the rings of a large 3 ring binder and was sitting very still in there. So, I pulled the whole binder out and carefully put it out front so it could get out and hid again from Emily. This morning I thought I should check that we didn't have bunny guts (sorry that is what Emily does) on the front door mat. I didn't see any and thought it might be best to check the binder - the bunny was still in there! So, I took it out in the back yard and put it in a warren that had been there from last summer. Now, I am trying to keep and eye on the cat so she doesn't go back there and get it. Last spring we had several bunnies, a couple of ducklings, and seems like a bird or two that found their way into our house last year after some form of injury. I am an animal lover and will try everything I can to make them better or remove them from peril. It brings heart ache but you get to see things you wouldn't normally see - like baby bunnies and duckies!
So, it is still quiet around here this morning - it is going to be a busy day though. Our friend Debi needs a new car by midnight tomorrow night and I seem to be the only one with time to help. We are having an open house and I have to work tonight so that puts a crunch on things. This is funny, we actually found her a car a couple of days ago and the dealership would not come down one cent on the car. I reckon they think women are stupid and will just pay the price they are asking. I did my research and found out they had only paid 3000 for the car and were asking 4980. THEY WOULDN'T BUDGE! Well it is their car and they can say no - but I don't have to pay what they are asking either. So, I have been looking on line and doing research as much as I can but time it limited. I think we might find what we are looking for tomorrow. I know it is stressful for her because she has to turn in the rental car by midnight Monday and then she won't have any convenient transportation until we do find a car.
I have to get to cleaning up the house just in case someone decides to come to our open house - Oh, they have started bricking the new house so you all pray for a buyer to come our way soon. I believe this house will sell in the right timing so that we won't have to make a double move. As fast as they are getting the new house done I can't imagine it taking until October to be finished, but we will see.
