first, craigslist rules. since my grandparents installed the closet organizers for the kids and i (a month ago) the old closet shelves/rods/supports have been sitting in my carport, all white-trashy like. and while i embody that [married woman shacking up in a double-wide with a single father who drives a pickup, using wic checks to buy groceries, and so on and so forth ;) ] i was getting kinda sick of seeing the crap and tripping over it. so, i posted an ad in the free section of craigslist. 10 minutes later i got a call from a guy that wanted to come by and take it off my hands. awesome. i was out so i gave the guy directions and when i got home all the stuff was gone. sweet.
and in my driveway was d and his business partner. in the middle of the afternoon. odd. and in my bedroom was a brand new 50" plasma tv. despite the fact that 75% of his is already here, this made things very real for me. he planned to buy the tv. he waited for it to be the right price. he bought it. he brought it over. here. he moved some furniture around so the damn thing would fit in the bedroom. he set it up. you know what this means? he has no immediate plans to bail! w00t.
