Navigating Craigslist ... And Buying Things!

Mr. Wonderful & I left our perfectly great washer/dryer set back in Cali at our condo- the place we moved into out here had beautiful Front Loaders (I *might have washer envy) BUT the new place doesn't come with a washer/dryer! Major bummer, so we looked at new & they're a bit pricey.... 

So Craigslist to the rescue! We found a great little shop that refurbs appliances & warranties them, got our hearts set on a washer dryer set... And (of course) the deal fell through, and we are moving into the new place THIS WEEKEND!! 

We simply cannot go without a washer/dryer with as dirty as Mr. Wonderful manages to get at work! So back to Craigslist I went.. Found a great set & the woman selling them seemed nice enough.. (Turns out she was from Simi Valley! It's amazing how many people from back home are out here) 

I talk the deal over with Mr. Wonderful & he agrees that I should take a look, he hands me a pile of monies from our yard sale loot & a handgun... {this is an open carry state & with Craigslist one can NEVER be too careful} but even I was a bit surprised for a second.  

I called my partner in crime K & Off to GJ we went! The deal went well, we got our washer/dryer for less than they were asking & the handgun was unnecessary. But we felt way safer having had it with us since the house was in the sticks! (more-so in the sticks than our current house, if thats even possible!) I love when Craigslist transactions are uneventful! 

The washer/ dryer are waiting for us at the new place & I cannot wait to move in & get settled!
