Such a busy week, not even sure where to begin!
Finally settled on a vacuum and after much research and too much time wasted with trying to order one online from Sam's Club, I ordered one direct from Shark. Ended up with the Shark Rotator Lift Away in a bundle package that includes pretty much every attachment that I wanted. Ended up being 19 cents less than Sam's with free shipping, more attachments and a lifetime warranty so I feel confident that I came out ahead! Sam's offered one attachment that this bundle doesn't have but they added four others that I will use more often. I didn't even know there was an under appliance wand! Already have (and love) the mop but my daughter in law and I were just talking about how much she would like to have one so that's a no brainer! To all my friends out there who sent info, thanks!
If only she'd sent the email before midnight the day before...
End result? I saved $45.00 by not signing up and paying the membership fee!
As for the printer, Joe took it all apart for me, power supply is definitely no good, tried all the tricks we found online and nothing worked. Off to do some research and turns out that the new version of the Canon all-in-ones are very affordable, wireless, and print on all kinds of things that I'll probably never need to print on!
Staples.com refunded me for the unopened ink package from the old printer, gave me a great deal on the new one, a new ink package and free shipping. Maybe the folks over at Sam's Club should do some training at Staples! Refund is already processed and new ink arrived today, printer should be here tomorrow. They also called to tell me that they don't want the old ink back and I should donate or discard it. Anyone out there that can use it or know of someplace that can use it, let me know!
The highlight was the weekend and getting to spend the day up at my son's house. Joe painted and I played all day with O, what a blast. This little guy puts C to shame! I thought she was a mover but O is a mover, shaker, climber, runner, and talker all rolled up into one. What a smart guy and so much fun to play with. He pretty much goes non-stop until he is ready to sleep and then he is out for the count. When he wakes up, he is totally rejuvenated and back to being a dynamo. Tried to get pics of him but he goes so fast they are a blurry mess! Caught one in a quiet moment before he settled down for his nap.
This coming weekend I get to have O and B together for a few hours! Should be a blast and I can't wait. Just another reason to love the Pirates! Arghhhh!
My new Rachael Ray pan works like a charm, loaded it up with veggies from my Backyard Produce box. Butternut squash, mushrooms, green onions, yellow onions, garlic, red potatoes, celery and tomatoes. Took a picture. Added beef stock, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, teriyaki sauce and Italian spices. Put pot roast that had marinated in above sauce on top of v-rack. Covered with tin foil and baked at 350 for about 90 minutes.
Forgot to take any more pictures but enjoyed every bite! Used up rest of veggies the other night with some chicken legs and thighs that I cooked in Thai fish sauce, ginger, and red pepper flake.
Finally, to everyone out there that I offended with my post of the little girl playing peek a boo with her dad (including you mom) I can see your point but I still find it very funny. I am pretty sure that in at least one of my posts I have mentioned my problem with often times finding inappropriate things hysterical! Evidently, this is one of those times...
For those of you who want to judge for yourself and haven't seen the video, I'll post it on the blog's Facebook page.
