So we didn't buy the dryer last night. When I first called about it, she explained that she was doing it as an auction-type sale and would sell it to the person who basically ended up closest to $100 (possibly more, I guess). Someone had already offered $75, I offered $80. She called back a bit later saying that she'd sell it to us for $85, and that's the price we planned for when we went there last night. Apparently, though, someone else had offered $90 and she told us she'd give it to us for $95. Cory wasn't too thrilled that she changed the price on us when we had agreed on something, so we told her we'd think about it. That's why we're still looking. Funny, though, when I called this morning to let her know we were going to pass, she told me the $90 bidder decided to pass and that she'd give it to us for $85 again if we check back in a week. Hmm. Even though it will probably be more expensive, it's starting to sound a lot more simple just to call in a repair guy.

I finally went into the basement and looked through our winter outerwear to see what the kids may need for the fall/winter. Neither Accalia or Cole really have thicker fall jackets, so we may have to do something about that. The good news is that Ella will be able to fit into Accalia's old winter gear (and fall gear) and that Accalia still fits in her winter jacket from last year. Cole is the only one in need of a winter jacket, and I think we may head to Goodwill first since even just spending $30 on a new jacket isn't necessarily in our budget right now.

Cory took his car in this morning because it hasn't been heating at all, so now the thermostat is being repaired. There's also a belt or something that's about to go that has to be taken care of now. Then there's an oil change. He's working in town this morning and will come to the house before his lunch break so we can take him to pick up his car and then he'll be off to work once again. He delivers pizza tonight, too, so we'll see him briefly for supper in between taking Accalia to and from her tap class.

Cory also delivers pizzas Saturday and Sunday from 2-8 p.m., so he won't be around a lot. Accalia's last soccer game is Saturday (another early 9 a.m. one), and then Cory sees one client in the morning. I think we're going to all sit down together Saturday night and watch Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer since we have that sitting here and waiting.
