$125 for a Ham!?!?
Stuff and Things
Written by Jessica   
Wednesday, 06 December 2006

Last night we went shopping for groceries to stock our bare cupboards.  I paid them thinking that the final bill seemed high.  I was a bit confused but I had gone grocery shopping with Damion and when that happens the total is usually a bit more than I plan to spend.  As we were leaving the cash register I was thinking about the total charges and even taking into consideration funky pregnancy math it still didn't make sense.  So, while Damion was getting ready to push/glide the heavy cart over the ice patch I reviewed the receipt.  We were charged $125 for a ham!  Now I know it was a spiral cut glazed ham, but $125!

We proceeded to turn around and went to customer service.  Fortunately the guy at the counter was a competent individual and found the charge of $125 ridiculous.  Just for future reference, apparently most customer service aren't able to adjust a price from $125 to $13 (the real price of the ham).  After several minutes all was corrected and we were back on our way out the door with a free ham.  I challenged the freeness once, but he told me not to worry and to have a good night.  Don't need to tell us twice, so off we went with a new total grocery bill in the acceptable range.

I am happy to report that we have successfully moved all our stuff into our tri level, three bedroom, two car garage house.  Closing on the house was completed with only one set of paperwork not being correct.  Unfortunately the massive snow storm hit the area the night before the movers were to delivery all our stuff.  Saturday morning they delivered everything, with only a handful of items being broken.  Baby Girl's room has been all set up and is ready for her arrival.  The rest of the house is slowly coming together.  It will look a lot better once we get rid of approximately 100 boxes and thousands of pieces of packing paper.

What's Going On With Us?

It’s been almost a month since we have provided an update on the happenings in our world.  So here you go.

This coming Tuesday we are scheduled to close on our house in MD.  YEAH!  Then on or before December 4 we are scheduled to close on our new house in IL.  Yup, I went to several open houses last weekend and found a house.  There are pictures from a recent walk through for your viewing pleasure in the Gallery.  Then after the closing of the IL house there is the moving into the house.  An event from which I am going to be banned because on or before or after December 12 Baby Girl should be making her presence known to the world.  Then as my brother Peter was nice enough to remind me last night, Thanksgiving is next Thursday.   Can you tell we haven’t thought much about the holidays yet?

Needless to say, we are both excited about the future acquisition of a house in Illinois because we will have a place to call home before Baby Girl needs a place to call home.  Also, it allows us to get all those boxes and furniture out of storage.  More importantly, Damion will have access to his tools, his computers, phones, etc.  This makes him happy because as he said last night, “I am a minimalist (pause) as long as I have all my stuff.”

I’ll let you ponder that statement for a while and wish you all a wonderful weekend.
