It’s for Mother’s Day…

Posted by admin on April 8th, 2009 . Filed under: Random .

Selling my things on craigslist has been a great source of entertainment! Answering oodles of emails, setting up meeting times, getting stood up and of course inviting people in to rough up my goodies (talking about the things I’m selling…perv). Well today I got an email from a firefighter who wanted to purchase my bike for his wife, she forwarded him my listing & hinted at it being a Mother’s Day. So he stopped by today, checks the bike out and asks me some questions about it. I had a soft spot for him buying it for his wife so I knocked $25 off the price for him. He happily took it and carried it out our front door smiling. He came back just a few seconds later asking if I would send him an email saying that the bike had already been sold to throw his wife off. You see his wife had found out that he contacted me by going through and checking his e-mail. He wanted it to be a surprise. Awwww! Right? Well I sent an email saying “Hey Wifey of Firefighter. Your hubby bought the bike!”…..

Just kidding! I sent the “Sorry I sold it already but thanks for your interest” email. But I think it’s totally adorable how he is trying to throw her off and be all sneaky…sneaky in a good way. Not cheat on your wife sneaky because that’s just not cool.

Last piece of the baby story coming up tomorrow, thanks for reminding me guys! Mmmm and after reading Ree’s cooking posts on mac n cheese I’m going to need an appetite suppression.

    That’s so cute! I wonder how the wife’s going to react on Mother’s Day. Hopefully she doesn’t go out and buy another bike without him knowing!
