More pictures!!

Just got these this morning!

By the way, the other guy in the pictures is one of his team leaders (Pace) and I'm thinking he took a digital camera with him. I met his parents the morning the guys left and his mom has been kind enough to forward any pictures of Henry to me. I did just recently send Henry a disposable camera so hopefully I will have more pictures before too long.

Test your IQ

I thought this was fun. I got 12 right away, took a short break, came back and got 4 more! I had one figured out except for the parentheses part. Let me know how you do. (Also, if you give up and want to know the correct answers there's a forum where they've posted "spoilers"/hints and that helped me figure out the ones I didn't know. I looked at Part 2 and said no way.

Can you pass 8th grade math?

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?

No cheating!! I want to know what ones I got wrong.

last major purchase/deal

It's been 2 weeks now since I got this:


















I went to outlet stores with a friend and we were looking around this kitchen store and saw these in a back corner. It's "refurbished" but apparently that means they sent it out and had someone use it on a trial basis for 6 mos at the most and then they make sure they are still like new and resell them. I was convinced when a lady nearby said she had bought a refurbished one years ago and hadn't had a single problem. It's the 5 qt Artisan one and was marked $199 but then the store did 10% military discount! And it's BLUE. I love it. Unfortunately have only had the time/motivation to use it once so far (water bagels, thanks Erin).

Can it be true??

I have no idea how close this is to really happening or all the details to say with 100% certainty whether this is a good thing or not. But my first reaction is WOOHOO!!! it's about time!
Here's what I'm talking about: "The second phase of work has been completed with environmental samples that would pave the way for a Super Wal-Mart in Wellsville." http://www.wellsvilledaily.com/articles/2007/03/29/news/news01.tx
to read the full story and comments. And I have to agree with a lot of the comments about it being a good thing because Kmart needs competition to make them get their act together.

new rug

I also never shared about the rug I got at a great price. I ended up working Sun March 25th at the Home & Garden show here in town. Well it got to be about time for it to end and everyone to pack things up and the Manager for Carpet One (big local carpet store), came by and practically forced me to go look at their rugs because they didn't want to take them all back to the store. I had already looked at them earlier and didn't really see any I liked but he promised a really good deal so I went to take another look. Took me FOREVER to find one mainly because our carpet is pink and our furniture is purple and I didn't think any of the rugs would match. Finally I spotted one I really liked and figured even if it didn't match what we currently have I would save it to use later/elsewhere. Got it home, rolled it out and was quite shocked at how nice it looked! So here's pictures of my 5x8 rug that I only paid $50 (including tax) for.

bedroom furniture

I realized I never posted about the bedroom furniture I got from a guy at work a while ago. It had barely been used at all and I paid less than the original price of the one dresser alone! I took video to show Henry and never took any pictures (too messy to do now). Oh and I really didn't want my narration on there but couldn't figure out how to do that. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4732726188365271514

And no idea what I've done wrong that it's the link to the video and not the actual video. Oh well.
