Just gotta rant.

I responded to an ad on www.craigslist.org. The seller advertised a washer and dryer set for $150.00. He/she responded that we could come take a look, but failed to mention how in the heck we were supposed to contact them or WHERE they were located. In the ad, it was mentioned that the items were in 'Willow Glen/Cambiran' area. Did the seller propose that I drive around the entire Willow Glen/Cambrian neighborhoods with a bullhorn shouting "Washer and dryer for sale? Has anyone a washer and dryer for sale? Who placed an ad on Craigslist?". I am sure THAT would have gone over well. In the end, I get an email this morning that states "Sorry, we sold them yesterday afternoon." GAHHHHH! So it was back to the original problem. I am too cheap to buy a brand new one, and was too impatient to wait and see if ours could be fixed. I was mid wash when the water decided not to shut off. So I was forced into washing my clothing by hand. I would have been a craptastic pioneer. We ended up going to a appliance parts store and bought a new 'water pressure switch' , and as Hubby started to replace it, he announces that "You want the good news or the bad news?" Not waiting to let me answer, "Good news it's fixed, bad news is we wasted 29 bucks. This little hose was loose!" Other than that, my weekend was fine. I didn't get to speak to my Dad on fathers day, so I left a message (which is severely inadequate.) My in-laws were over for an impromptu BBQ which turned out rather well inspite of it being sprung on me. Hubby SWEARS that he told me. I swear 'Bullshit', but who am I to argue. I forgot that Bebe was going to an airshow with his Papa on Saturday. I am tired of my weekends being planned for me by certain people. I even had to cancel a trip for my 5th wedding anniversary because of a function I have to attend. Instead of a short cruise to Mexico, I will be having a SHORT dinner out with the hubby and the Bebe , then I will have to rush home and finish cooking a double batch of red beans for the BBQ/Reception (Because I know I will not get that done during the day). I will then spend the rest of the weekend thinking, 'If I were on the cruise right now, I would be doing such and such. If I were in Mexico right now, I would be shopping or sipping a margarita. If I were on the cruise right now, I could be chowing down at the buffett or watching the sun set upon ocean as 'diamonds' sparkle on the water.' I did not even have a chance to tell anyone about my surprise plans for hubby.I did not even think that I would have to. I am trying not to feel bitter or peeved about it, but I can't help it. I feel awful about it too, since my in-laws are so nice. There, I can rant to the blogosphere and feel better. I'll suck it up, like a good buttercup and get over it.
