9/19/12

Today ended up being quite hectic. It was one of those days at work where EVERYTHING seems to be out of control. It was one fire, one issue, one headache after another. The day did go fast though, so that’s good.

As I previously mentioned, I’m back on my Craigslist kick. I posted our spare room bed for sale last Friday and the response was HUGE. I really didn’t except to get so many inquiries about it. I talked to a few people over the weekend, and finally had somebody on board to buy it this upcoming weekend, at asking price. Really, he was going to come LOOK at it, no guarantee he was going to buy it. Well, today one of the people I talked over the weekend, that didn’t want to pay full price, contacted me again and REALLY wanted it. When I told him we already had somebody coming this weekend, he offered over asking price for it, TONIGHT. In the end, I couldn’t pass that up. I felt like the worst person in the world backing out on the sale like that…that’s just not me, AT ALL, but I had to go with the sure bet, and couldn’t risk losing that. I feel like Karma is going to bite me on that, but I’m still hoping I made the right choice.

After work, I rushed to get the girls and meet Christian and his friend, Lorenzo, at home. We cleared out the other “storage” stuff in the room, and waited for the buyers. They showed up, loaded the bed up and it was done. So happy to have that gone! Next up, coffee table and media storage! YAY, addiction in full force!

Christian and Lorenzo went to have dinner and a beer while the girls and I hung out. We had dinner, played for a while, and I put Amelia down. Olivia watched some videos on the iPad while I did my workout. Tonight was even harder…40 minutes! But, it did go pretty fast, and I wore my pulse watch and it said I burned 634 calories! WOW, that’s a lot. It is ALL cardio though, so that’s kind of the point. Hopefully I see some awesome results!

After my workout, I put Olivia to bed, spent some time watching TV, surfing Pinterest and winding down for the night. It felt like a LONG, busy day from start to finish.

I got our Wittlebee box today. The stuff is SUPER cute, and seems to be great quality. BUT, they didn’t really follow my instructions. When you set up your account, you create a “style profile”…the size you need, what types of clothing you need, what colors/patters/style you like, etc. I signed up ONLY for long sleeved shirts for Olivia. We don’t need short sleeves or dresses right now, and we don’t need pants – but if we did, she would need 5T, and you can’t mix sizes. Well….the box had ONE long sleeved shirt, THREE short sleeved shirts and TWO pairs of pants. Ummmm, not even close. I was really hoping their customer service would be just as great as everything else, but unfortunately, I was disappointed. They refused to replace any pieces, simply because I received that month's box as a discounted rate. I thought that was ridiculous. I can understand not sticking EXACTLY to the patterns/colors/styles listed in a profile, but if ALL I sign up for is long sleeved shirts, that's all I should get. Period. I ended up canceling my membership right there on the spot, because I was so upset and disappointed. Here I am, left with two pairs of too-small pants that won't be worn, and three shirts that likely won't wither. Sign.

Here are some photos of the box though, at least the stuff is cute, maybe I just saved myself a ton of money in the end! LOL
