I Spy...


Tonight we had a visitor at the door and I just had to write about it before the memory was lost.

We seem to get so many solicitors in our neighborhood and tonight was no exception. There we were, sitting on the couch for the first time all week, watching CSI and enjoying each other's company, feeling the cool breeze make its way through the house, and we hear this voice behind us. "Hey guys, how's it going?"

We turn to look and there is a stranger standing on our porch with his face practically stuck up against the screen door. He was selling subscriptions to the Post and really wanted us to sign up. We talk for a short while and thanked him for his time, while also trying to get across to him that we just weren't interested at the moment.

Not even 15 minutes later, we get a knock at the door. Another guy, a little more shy than the last, is selling papers as well. He has a bit different approach, although most of the info is the same, so Hubs tells him that his buddy just came by a few minutes prior.

The guy acts a little shocked, tells Hubs a story about how this other guy is stealing his clients, and begs us to sign up to receive the paper from him. Hubs talks a little longer with him, meanwhile catching him in a few additional lies, finally gets the guy to disburse from our porch, and Hubs settles back down on the couch with me to enjoy the rest of the show, hoping that we don't have any more interruptions for the evening.

You can ALWAYS count on more interruptions!

We hear something on the street and Hubs turns around to catch the guy jumping in the back of a van with the first perp in the front seat! They knew each other this whole time!

I don't like it when people lie. It's just so juvenile!

So anywho, we jump in the car to chase after them. Not sure what we would've done if we had found them. Maybe we would have confronted them. Maybe jumped in the van when they weren't looking and then scared them when they tried to reenter after catching the next house. Maybe we would've called the police.We had all sorts of options. :)

Just kidding on all that. No really. Kidding.
I just kinda thought it was fun to drive around the neighborhood at night for no purpose. ;)

Well, we didn't find them. But we did have a little "spy" enjoyment for the evening. Tee hee.

It was dark!



Now... it's off to bed.

Coming soon - Our 1st Anniv that most everyone forgot.
