The WHY of it all...

For those of you who really wanted to know what actually happened (the things I briefly mentioned a couple posts ago), I'm afraid the truth will seem incredibly boring after I got your minds going. But here it goes...

My feet have been BLACK on the bottom (not due to fires) because our tile floor was SO dirty (I mopped it, though, and now they're more of a grey).

Our smoke alarm apparently goes off every time the oven is just turned on...

I came home from the store the other day to find two maintenance men in my apartment. Andrew was in the office and had no idea anyone was even in the apartment--freaky. I hope they knock??

And some man just drove by Andrew's grandparents' house and saw our Saturn in the driveway and called us to see how much we wanted for it. We haven't called him back yet--we don't really want to sell it. We think we need two unreliable cars so that when one breaks (which they always do), then we can fix up the one that is least expensive to repair and use it for a while. And back and forth, and so on.

So there you have it. Next time just let your imaginations run wild and don't ask for the truth. It's always disappointing. :)

Yuck! On the floors. That is so gross. Maintenance Men aren't they great?

that pic is perfect for this post. You're funny.

You should call the guy back on the car. We had some friends who had the same thing happen-- random person knocks on the door and asks to buy their car (which was parked BEHIND the house). Weird, they thought. Turns out that there was some sort of lawsuit against that particular model/year and so they were buying up a bunch of cars of the same model/year to do some testing on them before they sued the company (or something like that.. it's been a few years now). They paid way more than the car was worth. He actually shared the story in testimony meeting because it was a huge answer to prayer. Anyway, there's no harm in just calling back and seeing what they'll pay for it!
