Announcing a settlement!

As an update on our contract and Mitch's debt, I've taken a settlement.
The poor guy couldn't pay up, so I had to show some mercy.

1-$1750 (which I am already feeling guilty about, and will probably just put back in the account)
2-An out to dinner date
Last but not least...
3-He will tickle my back 10 minutes every Sunday evening for 6 months!

We shook on the new deal, and both walked away happy!

That is a great settlement - especially the tickling of the back!

Katie said...

Yeah! I hope you at least buy a new outfit before you put the money back into savings...and save a little more so we can do lunch!

Keep the $ - you've earned it! :) And enjoy your tickles... (I'll be impressed if he actually follows through, though). :\

Nelson said...

Oh he'll follow through!
One time we had a bet about a grocery store, and he lost. He had to tickle my back 10 minutes every Sunday night for one YEAR, and he did it faithfully. Never bet a grocer's daughter!

Too funny. How bout some new running shoes and some leg warmers and maybe some new legs after yours turn to jello in our race...oh maybe that will just be mine. And was I dreaming or did you delete the SNL clip. I was getting ready to show Jeff and it was gone.

Congrats, Katie! Excellent settlement.

You're too easy on the guy! :-) Okay, it looks like a good settlement and the important thing is both sides are happy. Keep the bets going!

Love ya!

You are too funny! At least you both are happy with the settlement... I think you got a good deal especially with the back tickles.

Way to collect a debt!! I'm impressed with Mitch's follow through from last time - is there really anything better than back tickles?? Seriously!

You took the high road on that. I would have spent the whole money of it slowly in a 5 year span (I'm a nerd yes-- but it's like eating chocolate slowly)--
But you are a Dave Ramsey girl and you see the future. It's what I love about you.
Hey, and THANK YOU for always welcoming us into your home. We love to come and visit and love your friendship. Ok- this is a novel.
Bye

you got a pretty good deal.

Yes!!!!!! Just getting your back tickled is WORTH it. (And don't put the money back. Otherwise it will just disappear into the black abyss... aka checking account.)
