I Got The Deal of The Day!! And other good stuff!!

When I was a little girl, my mom and my aunts would go garage sale shopping every Saturday morning. When they finished, they would always try to see who got the "deal of the day" and they would sing song the phrase. It is a fun memory! Anyway, today I found the deal of the day!!! I was out in the neighborhood of Deseret Industries and I decided to stop there. I thought I could find some shorts for my kids, which I did- all name brand and in great shape!! While there, I came across a huge bin with little tikes parts in it. It appeared to be a climbing toy, and I wanted it- only if it had all the pieces. So, I asked one of the workers if she knew if all the pieces were there, she didn't know but offered to help me assemble it and see. So, we took the pieces in the shade, it was 1:30 pm at this point!!!- and all the pieces were there! Yes!!! So, I bought it and they helped me shove the whole thing in my Suburban. It fit, barely! I had no rear view mirror or any elbow room, but it was worth it. It is the 8-in-1 Climbing System and I bought it for only $45!! Woohoo!! It is in great shape, with only minimal fading of the bottom of one slide! Here is a pic off their website:

Okay, the pic didn't work well, but you can get the idea. My kids are excited. I am pretty sure it is just like the one in Grandma H's backyard.

Another cool thing: Bryan has a job interview on Thursday afternoon with a health center in Casa Grande. It is for an Accounting Specialist position and would pay more than what he is at now. We would like him to get some experience in the health care area because there are many opportunities for accountants there. We are excited about that!

Another fun thing: I found a blog of a friend in my ward, Heather Gunnell. Her recipe blog is called Downright Delish - http://downrightdelish.wordpress.com/ and has some great recipes. I tried the Ziti with bacon and vegetable cream sauce. It was sooo good! Even Bryan liked it! It tasted like something I would order from a restaurant. So, check it out! Her roasted salsa, both the green and red are so good, too. They are quite easy!

Anyway, it was a good day and I wanted to share!! Have fun!
