Him: What are you doing?
Me: Two women are here showing me a vacuum cleaner.
Him: What? Do you know them?
Me: No. They knocked on the door.
Him: Are you crazy??? They need to leave.
So then, I was fretting over how to politely tell strangers to get out of my house, without making it sound like Cosme was some uber controlling maniac... which I managed to do anyway. ("My husband isn't happy you're here so you need to leave because he's about to be home.") LOL I know it was stupid but still, I had to say no and that was where I went wrong. (Note: before they left, they did manage to vacuum my living room and offer me a discount on the new Kirby that was so low she had to write it down instead of saying it. I told her that no, $700 was way more than I'd pay for a vacuum cleaner. She asked how much I pay. I told her $79 was a splurge. They didn't stick around much longer.) Anyway, that's one reason I don't answer my door if I'm not expecting anyone. Last week I'd had enough.
And...
I finally took action. I bought a cute sign off Etsy.
And check this out. The new car takes regular unleaded. (WOOHOO!) I had a bunch of Kroger fuel points after Christmas and I needed to fill up the other day before they expired.
What??? Look at that! I filled up my car for less than $10. That was crazy. The low gas prices might not be the best news for the oil and gas industry but I really liked that little perk my points added.
