Weekend

Our weekend starts tomorrow morning as we are off to a wedding in Annapolis. I am looking forward to it, but I am also looking forward to taking a nap this afternoon.

I picked Duane up from the airport last night. The previous night he was out drinking mojitos on the company dime. He had two cheesesteaks while in Philly, although neither of them had Cheese Whiz on it (which the REAL Philly cheesesteak has on it).

I showed my buyers a couple of houses last night and they really liked one of them. They will be seeing a couple more on Saturday (a friend of mine at work will be showing them for me). I feel bad for the sellers that have a beautiful house, but crappy neighbors. As we pulled up to one of the houses, a large dog ran down the street (not on a leash obviously) chasing a cat. Even if you like dogs, you don't want to see them running around the neighborhood (especially when you have a small child).

I ordered some clothes from QVC yesterday. I haven't ordered anything from there in quite awhile. This outfit has a skort, t-shirt, tank top, and coordinating button down shirt all for $40! It was also on their Easy Pay plan, which means I pay about $8 a month for 5 months. A hard deal to beat, especially when I compare the shopping experience to my one of the other day (long, tiring...nothing fit right).

I have a funny story from the other day to tell. I bought my Dad an MP3 player for Christmas. I asked him if he had been using it. He says yes, but he could only put about 1 CDs worth of music on there (it is a 1 GB player). It turns out that he had ripped his CD as a wav file, so each song was 20MB or so. Well no wonder he couldn't get any music on there! I showed him how to change bit rate setting so the files weren't so huge (and not wav files). I also got him some downloads from Napster for Father's Day. I set up the account and everything for him. Hopefully it won't take him 7 months to figure out what songs he wants to download. I thought it was funny because I was thinking of him listening to the same CD for 7 months and wondering why people think MP3 players are so great. He is thinking of getting one for my Mom. Now that will be a learning experience for her.
