What???

So I get a call from a man who was looking at our "For Rent" sign at the house. When inquiring about renting our place he asked how we screen potential renters, to which I explained we use a company that does credit, criminal and tenant history checks. He proceeds to tell me that he has two, count them two warrants out for evictions in the place he is in now. That he has had trouble finding a place (no kidding) and needed extra time to move out..hence the warrants. Are you freaking kidding me????
He was concerned about his credit score (not the warrants?) so I explained that the company we use has their own system and lets us know if an applicant has a positive or negative score based on a number of factors. And if he'd like and application, we'd be more than happy to meet him to show the property. I guess having his credit score pulled was worrisome enough and he hung up. Warrants, really???

Ella and I went to Moe's with Amy and Nolan today. It was a nice reprieve from all the stress with the house. It's been forever since I've seen her and her new Honda Pilot is wonderfully spacious! I can't wait to get an SUV or minivan when we get back from Hawaii. Nolan and Ella were so good and it was such a treat to swap baby stories with Amy. We all headed over to Babies R Us for some much needed supplies. I bought Ella a booster seat with a tray for feeding. It's so much better than her carseat we've been feeding her in.
