dindaWhy O Y did Y have to go and get me hooked on woot.com? I don't check it every day and often forget about it for weeks but and have never even seen anything I can't live without but the other day - Monday? they had a Roomba at a ridiculously low, er, reasonable price so I just had to buy one . . . for my Mom. ;-)
Purchase order number 2140xxx-1 ROBOT
ROOMBA SAGE
see it even matches her dining room so we'll see how this robot makes out lives better. Mom has tons of carpet and even more traffic in the house so it will be a good test.
In other news - nice how time (and inaction) takes care of some of life's decisions. I let pass some deadlines so I won't be going to Montana next week for this training thing - this is a good thing, less travel. And since Rice is hosting a baseball regional, I'll be doing that instead of Ground school for my pilot's license this weekend. Really want to do that so soon though.
I took on a small side project for the month of June so I will be pretty busy with work stuff but it should be enough dineros to help pay for the end of the year New Zealand trip - yeah! and other work stuff is going really well too so maybe, just maybe in a month or two or 3 I might be able to finally start building my house. Always good to wait until AFTER hurricane season to build anything here but I may do something else rash before then so we'll see. . .

Date: 2007-05-31 02:57 pm (UTC)I saw that Rice was a Regionals host and wondered if you'd catch any games. USD, the college team we follow, are hosting a Regional as well. So we'll be at Friday and Saturday's games (and if all goes well, Sunday's too).
Kate's Golden Gophers are playing in our Regionals too so she and her girlfriend Amy will probably be catching a couple games as well.
The road to Omaha starts right now. Whee!
