Thursday Night Thoughts

Thursday night = time for more blogging!

So, I discovered the Flip video camera in a non-operative state the other day and David confirmed tonight that it is indeed non-repairable. DANG IT. I told the kids whoever took the last video on that camera would have to pay for it, since they have a BAD BAD BAD habit of snatching it and recording things and just in general treating it carelessly.

Printer also not working. Think it is because of the darn refill cartridge not being read properly by the printer. HP has a known issue, due to their policy of the printers reading the cartridges and deciding if/when to call them empty. They don't want you to buy refills. Well, I think that ought to be my perogative!

(So, in case you aren't keeping score like I am, we've had issues with the following items in the last week or two: my van, hot water heater, printer, flip video camera, television, oh and David's iPod keeps freezing up. Argh!)

Made huge pot of chili tonight and cornbread. And made the BEST BROWNIES yesterday. Ohhhh man.... WANT MORE.

Training is going well. My scores have consistently been above average, so I think I am getting the hang of things. Next week, my training group will move into production. We are evaluating local market search results for a search engine. That's it in a nutshell, but my guess is that most of you still don't quite comprehend what I am going to be doing. No problem, just know that it's 4 hours a day of using the laptop and getting paid!

Co-op tomorrow. Veggie Tales and Book Club Saturday. Sunday Emily and I are driving to GR for a nice visit, though short. We have some awesome plans. Then early Monday morning have to HIGHTAIL it back to Dryden to pick up the rest and get to Spanish on time. Fun weekend but it'll be go-go-go!

Must spend some time Friday/Saturday thinking of unit study stuff for next week. Won't really have to start it before Tuesday though.

Better get a shower, do something with my nail polish, oh yeah - dye my hair (new shade!), and do my homework for training.

Yard Sale Bargains

Garage sales were few and far between today, but I got one of the best deals I ever have found!

I got brand-new, in-the-box, still-sealed, brand-name PRINTER cartridges for MY PRINTER! I got one black and one COLOR! WOO-HOO!

Not only were they brand new, they were only $6 for both! The price tags on them were from Radio Shack and totaled $54.98. (I know they're cheaper at Walmart, but not by a whole lot!)

I have gone without color ink for about a year now, maybe longer. My black ink cartridge was NEARLY empty, so this was EXCELLENT timing!

I also got a winter coat for Emily ($3), a cute silvery basket (25 cents), a brand-new folding umbrella (25 cents), a soft-side lunch box cooler (50 cents, and it had about 37 cents inside when I opened it!) and 6 books ($1). The girls got some free stuff at one sale.
