Lots of things happening here at Casa Limone lately. On Monday the last piece of lost luggage finally showed up on the porch - 30 days after it went walkabout! Amazing! Then I realized that something must have happened to the Maytag repairman. He never returned my calls and no one ever answered his phone. Finally his phone stopped ringing altogether. Unfortunately I think that something bad may have happened to him. (He was an older gentleman.) So we came to the conclusion that we needed to buy a new washer.
I wanted to get one that matches our dryer but you know, after two years that matching washer is discontinued. Wow, the shelf life of these machines are way too short nowadays, don't you think? I chose another model at Fry's only after they checked on the computer for the one I wanted. But when I went home I thought that I just wasn't being persistent enough. So I called three other locations before I found one that had a demo model on their floor. I figured that I spent at the most $2.00 in gasoline so that I could save $400.00! Not bad at all! The first Fry's gave me a hard time when I wanted to return the first washer even though it wasn't scheduled to be delivered to my house for a week. I guess they really didn't like losing that money.
Then this morning I went to get x-rays of my right foot. It's been hurting for over a month now and I wanted to make sure that I hadn't injured it some how. Nope, nothing's really wrong. I just have to get better shoes, orthotics, and then ice my foot and take some ibuprofen.
Now I have to figure out what to get for my little nephew that Steve and I are going to meet for the first time this weekend. He's almost two and I haven't seen my brother and sister-in-law since we were in Florida back in 2002. I'm looking forward to it!
I also have to get supplies and projects ready for Camp Doll U! I'm sooooo psyched to be able to do this. It sounds like so much fun and a few of the Gals & Dolls will be there too.
And on top of all that, poor Lemondrop still hasn't finished her last two flying lessons. I really need to get those done so that she can go playing with her friends. Is there some way to make time stand still for a while to catch up on the to-dos?
