What a Weekend!

I'm going to need to go back to work just to recover. I started out with Friday off (had my hours in early) but spent most of the day doing chores. That night, in the spirit of exploration, Laura and I tried Bono's BBQ in Centennial. If you are reading this and ever see one, DO NOT ENTER! First of all, the food is bad. On top of that, service is horrible, the selection is short, it's overpriced, and, well, that's probably enough for now.

Our plan on Saturday was to get up early and go car shopping. We are both in dire need of new vehicles and decided we'd look for both of us and see what we could find. We lucked out and both found GREAT deals at the very first place we went to. As you can imagine, this can not only be very good, but it's also very bad. I spent a good couple hours haggling them down off their rich little podium to a price that I felt was more than reasonable, especially for two good vehicles. The funniest part was that I said something about them calling me after I left and they made it very clear that they wouldn't call me...they offer the best deal they can while I'm in the office and I can take it or leave it. FYI - It took approximately two hours before I got their first call :) NEVER show a sign of weakness around me!

Today, obviously, is super bowl Sunday. I've got a (arctic) flag football game this morning and then we're going to look at some more dealerships on our way home. Today should go much faster, however, because it is apparently illegal to sell cars on Sunday in Colorado. Weird, huh? Oh well, at least we won't get attacked by salesmen...they are ruthless, relentless, heartless, soulless...everything a mother could hope for!
