Today we will be on the road picking up auction wins from two different auction companies. My husband also has an errand and a stop that will take up at least 45 minutes of time. I have printed out the auction win list of the auction that ended last night and read off to him what we got when he asked. So there should be no surprises when we get there, right? Wrong. This is the routine. The guys at this auction give him a hard time. I just laugh at it all and pack up our stuff. I'll let ya'll know how it goes later tonight. What are you up to today?

Today is Friday and it's a more relaxed day at work. Hope I get no bad surprise when I arrived at work this morning. See you later.

@kareng OH yes, it went well. Not so busy at work at all. Now I'm home, waiting for dinner and some time for myself in front of the tv after. I decided not to crochet today.

Today (Friday) I got a little bit of cleaning done, and went to the Salvation Army food distribution before that.

Men are funny creatures. You can warn/tell them about something then they react as though they've never heard it before.

Today is a rest day after hitting the rails at four, in the morning, and not getting back until after eight, that night. 12,000 steps, I was ready to collapse!

They are fun! Today we met two people that we found out we were bidding on the same item. The first was at the guitar place and the owner got a guitar that my husband was bidding on but stopped at $75. The guitar had a few problems and the guy that got it wasn't very happy about it, but that is how it goes and why you have to go pre-view the items up for sale before bidding. He lives in the area-no excuse. The second was when I picked up at the first auction win. I was organizing the table to roll it out and load the car when she came in and said, "Oh, so you were the one bidding against me!" My husband said on what? She said the microscope!! It turned out to be a very nice one and my husband was surprised of course. I try to do my research on things before I bid.
