Greg has been gone on his trip, but of course we're still communicating by phone and IM. And apparently he's found my ad on Craigslist for the garage sale.
Ring, ring.
ME: 'Hello?'
Greg: "Hey babe, it's me. Guess what? I was searching on craigslist for 'coleman' and found an ad that said they had a garage sale with some camping gear for sale, and I got all excited until I started reading and found out it's MY camping gear!!! haha! It's a pretty good ad, I'm reading it now....(Uh oh, I think to myself) You're selling the area RUG??? I really like that rug, why are you selling it?"
ME: "Well, I don't like it that much and it doesn't match with the living room and that's why I figured I'd just sell it off"
Greg: "I don't know why you would sell it though, we just bought it, I mean...YOU LISTED THE TV?!?!?"
ME: "Yeah, but you agreed to that!"
Greg: "Well I did, but I thought we'd sell it seperately, in a little while. I can't believe you're selling that - what else is going to be sold that I need to know about???"
ME: "Oh, not much...just a few odds and ends, the post is a really good description overall, you know."
Greg: "Well, make sure you get a good price for the rug and TV, I'm really attached to those things, and I really like them and would rather they didn't go anywhere."
ME: "OK"
And then we chatted about other things...but he's been monitoring the cragslist postings ever since - I just know it. I can't wait for Saturday, I sure hope a lot of people show up early...he might just catch the first flight home to make sure the selling doesn't get out of hand. :)
Sell that idea as to how to keep a man wanting to come home and not straying. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreg really sounds a lot like someone very near and dear to my heart! It is just easier if you just laugh and then do what you want!
