Apparently we live accross the street from the Asst. City Manager. So I guess that means that we get stuff taken care of pretty quickly :) She told us that there had been some water damage to the house and it had to be fixed, but that it stunk like mildew for a while and that is why it was on the market for so long. It doesn't stink now, and we used Kilz 2 Latex last night to cover up the few stain marks on the ceailing that had been there.

I took pictures yesterday and will get them up soon. We got a quote from the hardwood floor guy for $2500 for the whole house (around 2300 sq ft which is like $1.10 a sq ft which is not too shabby.

I think I must of had one of these when I first got the new Harry Potter book, it was a monster (but I finished it in 5 days, and will do the same with the next one).

In the dinning room we are going to put this rug.

And in the living room we are going to put this rug.

Sherry and I closed on the house on Tuesday!!! We went over their and immediatly ripped up the carpet. Since they had installed some over the hard wood floors that they had. We were pleased to see that all the floors were in good shape.

We bought the paint last night since Sears was having a half off sale on paint, and are buying the rugs when we buy the appliances since Home Depot is running a financing special where they offer no interest for a year.

Sherry just got an email from William and Mary asking her for a phone interview!!!

"Yes Smithers, my plan is working out perfectly"

Here is a good answer to the question I have been asked a lot:

"So what are you going to be doing at your new job?"

DirtyBen13: contracting with NASA.
DirtyBen13: working on the document management syste for them
DirtyBen13: they need a pretty strict process
DirtyBen13: for making their selection on the next launch vehicle
DirtyBen13: (the next space shuttle)
DirtyBen13: so we are writting a custom framework (with a web interface) to help them with that
DirtyBen13: and the company also did some custom tool integration work
DirtyBen13: for them... to integrate all of their engineering / aerospace tools into the framework
DirtyBen13: and then the company has another division that handles the visualation of the data
DirtyBen13: so it is a good cross sectional of the company
DirtyBen13: www.ama-inc.com
DirtyBen13: sounds cooler then it is
DirtyBen13: mainly just a framework for covering their ass
DirtyBen13: when the losing concept companie's lawyers come after nasa saying that their selection process was flawed

I really hope that this is a joke. Especially coming from a company like EBay.

Ok... this is about the scariest thing I have ever seen... Biniki Fashions Home Page

Holy Cow!!! This is just amazing... Aparently Reebok is trying to outdo Lebron with this 3 year old, Mark Walker. Check it out!

Once again... I love Google
Even though this isn't really Google, but their "I Feel lucky" button still takes you there.

If you type in "Weapons of Mass Destruction" and then click "I Feel Lucky" you will get this.
