April Fool Schmool





Yes, today is April 1st and yes I did think about pulling a prank on my hubbie and yes completely forgot due to Olivia's non afternoon nap-running to the mall-people to look at the house-overwhelming typical day....back to April Fool's Day...so last night I was scouring CL and freecycle searching for a stinkin faucet for my play kitchen (so fabulous!) and I come across a posting for a faucet FREE! on CL. So stoked! Email the guy right away begging for the faucet and saying I can pick asap- give him the whole sob story. This afternoon, after sweating it out all day waiting for a response, the guy sends a fuzzy, icky pic from his "camera phone". OMG! I can tell it is the PERFECT faucet, size, super cute, everything...so I email him back saying I can pick up right away. Within seconds, get a response that he lives right near me. This is soooo super perfect...maybe too perfect? Drew comes running upstairs and I am so excited- start to tell him and he says, "Oh, let me see the picture? He sent you a new one." I look at the NEW CLEAR pic and it is MY FAUCET! With a note that says APRIL FOOLS! GRRRRR! Drew created a new gmail account under a fake name, created a posting, took pictures of my faucet- everything to make it look real. So bummed and now back to the search.....
