Now that's what I call a rollback

Way back in November  I happened to spot a sign advertising the gas price across the street from where I work. I had to pull out my cell phone and take a picture of this.

Yes, that does say 0.09. I was tempted to go in and demand to get my gas for that price. Believe it or not this actually stayed liked that for almost 3 weeks.
And Walmart thinks they have great rollbacks.

OUCH!!

Yes, I'm feeling muscles I never knew I had today and they are screaming at me for doing all that work yesterday. But it was well worth it. We finished the job finally at 8:00 last night. Now I have a huge mess to clean up and tons of dust but that's the easy part.
Duke supervised the whole project and kept a close eye on things to make sure it was all being done right.

Here's a look at the living room from the kitchen. My house isn't very big but this picture makes it look even smaller.

We had to move all the furniture to the one end and then once we got so far laying the boards then we moved it back to the other side.

 Can you believe Wade and I got through this whole project without one single argument? 

I don't have any pictures of the finished floor yet because I want to wait until I have everything cleaned up and put back together. With having to work all day it could take the rest of the week before I get that done.

Now if you will excuse me I need to go rest my achy muscles. Once I recuperate I think I need to get busy with that Wii Fit and get myself in shape.

weekend warriors

Wade and I are pretending to be weekend warriors today.  We did the dining room floor but since the living room and dining room are more or less one room we really wanted to do the living room too. We unexpectedly were able to buy the materials sooner than we thought so New Years eve day while I was at work Wade tore up the carpet in the living room.
This morning we got started and we've been working on it all day. I suppose if we were younger we could have been done sooner but old knees need frequent breaks. I'm almost afraid to lay down tonight because I don't know if I'll ever get back up. I've got the Ben-Gay on hand just in case.
I do have pictures of the room while we were working but haven't had time to get them off the camera yet.
Tomorrow I'll be more prepared with a post (I think so anyway).
If I didn't get around to visiting you today I promise I'll catch up. I've only been able to do my rounds while we've been taking breaks.
Breaks over, back to work!

Welcome 2011

I hope that everyone had a good new years eve celebration whatever it is that you may have done. As expected I didn't make it until midnight.
I didn't make any resolutions, I gave up on them years ago since I never could keep them any way. I have set some goals for myself though. Some I may reach, some I may not but the plan is to move in to this year looking ahead, forgetting about the past, and always looking for the good in anything that may come my way.

I have Duke here to help me stay on track. He's showing me the way to keep looking ahead.
How about you? Did you make new years resolutions?
