*Won round 3 of Dietbet - will find out payout Wednesday
* DH *finally* has a truck. We drove to Topeka, KS on Sunday and bought a 1996 Nisssan truck with 179k miles for $1150. It runs well, and the body is in semi decent shape.
*While on our way back, I came this ** close to hitting a 5 year old little boy who ran out in front of my car from two parked cars at a gas station. I was very wide awake and shaking the next 90 minutes of the drive home.
*We may be taking the truck to CA - and while there we may be bringing back the family piano. It's always been slated as mine, but I haven't had anywhere to put it or anyway to get it. Now I have both - possibly.
*I'm LOVING my new computer. (well, mostly ... when I first set up the Internet on it I set it up on WiFi - that was excruciatingly slow. Now I have it hardwired in to my router, but haven't been able to figure out how to change the configuration.)
* I put in TWO applications for other jobs that have nothing to do with cash = and are with the city. And would be nice pay raises.
*The last few weeks I have been binge watching "Reign" on Netflix .... Finally finished the last episode Sunday morning.
*We leave for our California trip Thursday morning. Our first stop will be Denver, CO area where we'll be eating at a pizza place DH fondly remembers - BeauxJo's (sp?). Then our next stop will be near Zion Forrest in Utah, where we'll spend some time exploring. Then a buffet DH found near Las Vegas, and finally our final destination - Loma Linda.
DH wants to do some pier fishing on the ocean, and perhaps a boat fishing trip. Also wants to visit some aquarium he found there. My main reason for the trip is to visit family ... so I don't really care WHAT we do. 
*It turns out this wasn't a really good time for me to leave for a week and a half at work ... It's actually starting to get busy. Oh well ... I desperately need 7 days away from it all.
*I had two $15 off $15 Lane Bryant coupons sent in the mail. I used one to buy a t-shirt, and one to buy 3 pairs of socks. The t-shirt cost $5 after coupon, and the socks cost $8 after coupon. Hopefully the socks will be better quality than a 9 pack from Walmart for about the same price.
While at the mall, I got a few deals from JC Penny's - 2 sweaters and a turtleneck for $13. For next winter.
What I really was hoping to find was jeans or dress pants. Sigh.
Okay, that's about it I think. When I get back from the trip I'm really going to try to be better about posting (and reading)

Thanks Laura and VS!
Debt free - Was season 3 really the last one? Boo!
Thanks Kashi! I hope I can come back with a better attitude./pov
CB - I've read a lot of fiction in that time period, but am not immersed enough in the facts to know how off base it may be. I really like the first two seasons, but season 3 seemed to be stretching a lot. Plus the lovemaking scene in *every* episode ... But by the end of season 3 I was looking forward to more.
