"Say hello to my little friend"...

There is a story behind this one, and boy is it a good (and embarrassing) one!

I've been checking out Craigslist for Barbie Jeeps, and one came up this past week. It was a white older model, and it was $125. Way too much for me to spend, so I did some investigating.

I checked out some surrounding towns online classifieds, and when nothing really came up there, I thought....hmmm....why not check out the classifieds in my parents town!

So, I did, and WHOO HOO...There was a garage sale that starts tomorrow, that was selling a Barbie Jeep! The address was listed, but that wasn't good enough for me! After all, I was 5 1/2 hours away from that address.

Did you know you can find out someones phone number by typing their address into yahoo people search? Yup, I sure did...(this is where it gets embarrassing for me...I'm all about a bargain, I tell ya)

I emailed my mom the phone number and address, and she called and left a message for me. The lady called her tonight, and mom and dad went to look at it. Guess how much it was....just guess.....$30, yup $30! SCORE! Mom and Dad got it, and it will be arriving here for Avery's birthday!

Persistence (and some embarrassment) pays off! My husband called me and my mom the "garage sale mafia". ha ha ha!!!!!
