Good morning! I am back! I believe I am back as my post yesterday evening stated. It feels good to want to write again. What was that anyway? Bloggers block? 😛
So last week I had went to the opening night of Catching Fire (woot! woot!) I went to the 9 pm and was home by 11:45 pm. I came in my house and dropped my purse and keys on the table walked into our bedroom to let the dogs out and came back out into the living room. A man in a suit was standing on our front deck tapping on the living room window. GAH.
I went to the door and opened it a crack. He said he was wondering if Al was available. I for one, explained to him that it was almost midnight. Two,my husband was home but was asleep and had been for hours. He said he had seen the lights on in our yard. “Yes,” I said, “I have just come home from a movie.” He said he wanted to talk to him about a judgement, apologized, and then went away.
A little shook up I went back to let the dogs in from our back deck, turned around and he was in the window again. Now… I was really annoyed. I went to the door again. He said his boss would not forgive him if he did not at least drop papers off with me for Al to look at. He had a wad of cash in his hand too and said that he was trying to pay for a judgement my husband had filed. I took the papers, not the cash and closed the door.
I walked into our bedroom and asked Al if he heard any of that, he had not. I brought him up to speed. I said it was creepy and unprofessional for someone to be knocking on our door around midnight. Al agreed. We own an excavating company and Al occasionally has to file judgements on those who do not pay.
The next day Al called the guy and found out he worked for some company where they buy judgements and then they go after the people who had it against them. Al said that this particular judgement was settled so they were out of date, and that we were not interested. So weird.
In brighter and funner (yes yes… funner is my word!) news, while traveling round the blogs this weekend I found a few books that really caught my eye:
At Tessa’s Reading Corner, she wrote a review on The Theory Of Opposites
At Library Of Clean Reads, there were several books that caught my eye:
The Rule Of Thre3, Landry Park, Dangerous. All look wow!
At Busy Hands Are Happy Hands, I seen a review for a book called Julia’s Chocolates that sounded scrumptious!
If you have some time, stop by and check these out. Have you read any of them?
Ok, I am off for now.. just home from the gym this morning and I need to get moving towards work. Stop in later for my review of Coreyology. It was …. 😉
Book Journey 
That is totally creepy! I would have woken Carl up as soon as I saw the guy standing out there. You are brave!
I think I am Irish…. lol…. it annoyed me so much that I had to deal with him 😀
I don’t even answer my door if I don’t know the person…but then I live in the city and I’m wary of everyone…don’t even know the neighbors! LOL
I have The Theory of Opposites on Sparky…and can’t wait to read it. And Cathy Lamb is a favorite author, but Julia’s Chocolates is not one I’ve read yet. Adding it!
I have enjoyed Cathy Lamb in the past, I am excited about this one.
You are either brave or nuts! LOL I’m glad it wasn’t anything weirder or more sinister. 🙂
Probably a combo. I kept the chain on the door and talked to him through that. 😀
Please don’t ever open yhe door to a stranger – especially late at night!!!
I kept the chain on Care and I think the dog would have had him for lunch if he would have tried anything.
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my review of The Theory of Opposites! That is seriously creepy. You are a brave woman!
It was seriously annoying 😀
Seriously…nothing good comes from people at your door at midnight…especially strangers…next time grab Al and a rolling pin!
I should have… it was the suit that threw me… I thought it was someone official that maybe followed me home.
that is really scary…what a nut job. glad you are safe
Thanks Diana 🙂
I would have tripped right out!!! Al would have gotten up much sooner with all the screaming… 😉
I love that you used the words “tripped out” it created such a funny visual. I know I know… I’ll think better if there is a next time.
I wonder why that guy was working so late at night.
OK, Sheila—not sure I would’ve opened the door the second time *sigh* Actually made me nervous for you just reading about it! That is SO creepy…
You are incredibly brave! And glad you’re back in the blogosphere !
Shudder — NO WAY I would have opened the door and I live in a very safe neighborhood.
Normal business people don’t knock on windows at midnight. I’d be worried it was someone trying to break in. Nope, would not open the door. I’m not that brave!
