While we were out of town last weekend Kim and Payam (who own Smart Home Now and happen to be good friends of ours) came over and installed surround sound in our family room, speakers on our patio and SONOS in our house. WE LOVE ALL OF IT. The surround sound, sounds amazing, the patio is entertaining and the SONOS sound system and access to millions of songs is worth the price! SONOS is like a big ipod! I even kept the music running in the house all week long while I was working.
Saturday we helped my parents move in the morning before we headed to the gym. It had been a week and a half since I had gotten in one of my really good work outs so this was a treat. Philip
played basketball with the guys. The weather was looking pretty rainy and cold however by 2 PM the clouds had cleared and it warmed up. We headed to our friend Sarah Kaplan's pool for a Jew Crew get together. We had a great time seeing everyone and meeting Sarah's twin sister Rachael who was visiting from Atlanta. Saturday night was Quesadilla night with Pamela and Josh at their house. Yummmm. We were exhausted by the end of the day...Sunday we finally slept in, hit up the gym, cleaned our HOUSE, laundry and even helped the parents move some more. Philip's parents have a handful of people over on Sunday night so we enjoyed chicken and burger's on the grill with them.
At some point this week we decided we wanted to look into trading in my Accord for a Pilot. We knew that when my lease was up we wanted to look into getting a Pilot because we LOVE Hondas and know its a great SUV. We have heard that this is the time to get a Pilot because they can't get rid of them and then need pre-owned USED Accords so they are making great deals. We didnt however know all of the stuff behind buying selling and negotiating on cars. Luckily a family friend educated us and we realized this might not be as easy as we think. NOTE: I barely drive hence the crazy reason why we want to get a get Pilot that guzzles $4 a gallon gas. We need an SUV in our family, no one has one and I am thinking down the road with kids. We visited the dealership, talked them down 5k on the car but it still was not in our best interest and they couldn't get our payments to where we wanted them SO WE WALKED! It felt so liberating to walk out of the dealership with NOTHING. We stuck to our guns and plan to wait anouther 10+ months till my lease is up and get one of the 2009 Pilots where are so much better looking in general.
To wrap up the long weekend I played Mahjong with some of my girlfriends on Tuesday night. This is a new game that I took up when I moved to Charlotte with some of my friends and we have a blast catching up, eating and playing. Of course I lost both games, but I had a blast with Dana, Sarah and Jill!
