I'm still feeling well, and I went to water aerobics both Friday and Saturday mornings. This morning we took Chloe and walked the 2 miles around the Apex Lake. I jogged on the down-and-up hill parts, and it felt really good. The boys rode their scooters, so we weren't stopping every 2 minutes to throw rocks and pet dogs so it went fast!
Friday my on-line shopping paid off! I had decided to get the Dante Bellefleur faucet, and found that a couple showrooms in Raleigh had them. So, armed with my internet shopping pages, I trekked out to the showroom. Indeed, they had the Bellefleur in stainless steel, indeed it was impressive - much bigger than I thought it would be. Retail is $455, and the showroom was offering it for $359. HA! I asked if they would negotiate on the prices, and the saleswoman said that they usually don't. Ok, I said, thanks for letting me see it. I can get it for $273 and free shipping on 3 different web sites. She made a note of that, and we parted ways. I kept looking around the showroom, because they had really cool sinks and other faucets and stuff. Then she came back and said they'd sell it to me for $250 plus tax. I took it! I feel so proud of myself, I don't normally ask for lower prices. So, I came home with it. Oh, and I found some knobs I really liked there, so I'll probably go back and get them when it's time. So, now they have a loyal customer and their going to make a big profit from me on knobs, I'm sure.
Saturday night we had a spaghetti dinner with the Cub Scouts. They were supposed to go camping, so they'd made all the meatballs, sauce, salad, garlic bread, etc so we all went over to the church and had dinner together. It was very nice. We hadn't planned on going camping because Alek's Viper Challenge football tournament was supposed to be on Saturday, but it was postponed due the all the rain Friday. So Ben and Alek have spent Friday night and most of Saturday playing with their friends, which has been very nice.
Right now all 3 of my boys are outside raking & blowing leaves, and trimming bushes. Ah, the benefit of boys! I'm off to shower and then head to my friend Rhonda's Dove Chocolate Party. Sounds interesting!!!
Hey Marna! You are back to good health and exercising away;) Great deal on the faucet. I imagine with the economy the way it is the retail market should be allot more willing to negotiate huh?
ReplyDeleteThat party sounds dangerous to me LOL! Dove is my favorite kind of chocolate. I use to eat the Dove Promises like there was no tomorrow. Have a great night!
