Scott's New Gift
Okay so I told Scott about a piano sale because I knew he wanted to get a piano and since he has worked really hard these last few months I thought it would be good to go see what they had. All the piano's they had were repo's so I thought we should be able to get a really good deal. So we got there and they had a couple digital piano's for really cheap. I was like well when I get Scott out of there I will tell him we should buy one because less than a $1000 dollars is really good. So we talked with the salesperson and Scott of course brought up the fact that he had been looking at the Clavinova's. The salesperson didn't really want to talk to us about them since there is a dealer here in Boise and they can't sell the same stuff that another dealer already sells in the area. We told them we had looked at them in Poky before we moved and so they were a little bit more willing to then talk to us. We ended up finding out that they actually had the one that Scott has been wanting on clearance. It was actually $2,000 less than two years ago. So when we saw the new price we knew we couldn't pass it up this time. It wasn't a hard sale we took it. It is a really cool piano. I'm excited about the fact I just might learn how to play the piano again. It lights up so that you can learn your notes. It also has a karaoke feature. Anyone want to come sing with me. :-) They threw in a jump drive that has 10,000 songs already loaded on it. Since they are out of Logan they actually have the whole hymn book downloaded on it and also the children's songbook. We turned it on this morning and totally listened to the church arrangements that were on there before we headed to church. Here are the pics of Scott's birthday/Christmas and every other holiday that you buy presents for, for the next year.

Halloween 2009
Scott ended up working for Halloween and so his sister Jamie talked me into going down to Montpelier to hang out with them. She put on a theme dinner. It was fun. Later that night we went over to the church and did the trunk or treat with the kids.
Our dinner feast. It was really good. I was a little bit grossed out with the pork coming out of the pumpkins mouth but it was all really good. The eyeballs especially.
Jello brain, shredded pork out of the pumpkin, ice cubes with spiders in them, green rolls, potato salad, green slim dip for the apples, and dessert eyeballs.
Here are the pictures of the kids. I took them so Scott could see what all the
kids were dressed up like.
It was definitely fun having something to do while Scott was at work. I was so happy that Jamie invited me and I took the plunge and went.
Pumpkin Carving
Okay so this year in our garden we decided to grow some pumpkins. We were really excited because at one point we had 12 pumpkins growing. Unfortunately somehow our plant ended up dying and so some of the pumpkins went bad. We ended up with only these five pumpkins. We actually gave my brother three of them for his girls.
Scott and I decided we would carve the other two pumkins for ourselves. I hate to admit this but I have only carved pumpkins maybe one other time in my life. I've watched it done lots more than that but I don't know if I've ever really done one myself. So I started off by making an ameteur's mistake and didn't even cut the hole in the top big enough to dig out all of the guts. I had to find a spoon that was big enough to get them out. Scott laughed at me. Oh well what can I say.

Okay so now its my turn to try and get out all the nasty stuff out of my pumpkin. Had to get the longest spoon that we had in the house in order to do it.

It's Susan's Happy Face. I don't know could use a little more experience at this.
I love the nose on Scott's pumpkin.

Technology Overload
So this last month has been rough for me with technology. I use to think I was keeping up with technology but after this month I think I'm technology challenge. At work they have decided to add Google Apps to our new Bengal Web. The biggest change will be that they are changing out our e-mail to g-mail and we have to figure out how to either use it or be left behind. I like several things about g-mail but our training really couldn't be considered training because all they did was shows us the capabilities of Google Apps. My biggest complaint is I really don't have time to learn something new. I am also the one that is supposed to show everyone in our department how to use it. Oh well I really don't have a choice so here we go.
Here at home Scott has gone on a technology binge. He bought us new I-Pods Nano's last month. The only thing I have learned so far is how to turn it on and how to download our CD's to it. Scott was asking me about why I didn't have the songs all coming on at the same volume level and I told him I had no idea what he was talking about. He just shook his head at me. He likes to sit and piddle with his but I pretty much just steal his songs that he downloads and then when I'm going on a road trip I take my I-Pod with me. So here is my purple ipod and Scott got a silver one. He definitely uses his more than mine. Hopefully since I'm working out again I will use it more.
Then two days ago he went and bought us new cellphones because we were due for an upgrade. So he went in and bought both of us the HTC Fuze. It's got some really cool features and we bought this phone because Primerica is using it to do our paperless applications. He did lots of research and the AT&T sales people tried to talk him out of it. They gave us several websites to look at reviews about the phones and he decided that the phones would work great for what we wanted. We wanted business phones with business applications on it vs. a phone that would end up being an expensive toy. (They say it's not good for games, MP3 playing, etc.) So I've figured out how to make a phone call on it and that's about it. I tried to get onto the internet but I couldn't read a thing on the page. Scott says that you can make it bigger but we are both learning. Unfortunately they don't give you a how to booklet, you have to read the online tutorial. Hopefully I'll find time to figure it out. ARGH to much new stuff coming out all at the same time.
This is in the closed position. The screen is a touch screen so that's cool. I'm getting used to it.
This is the open position. I love having a keyboard. I get to type text messages alot faster. No more having to hit a key four times to get to the right letter. It's also cool because the screen switches to landscape from portrait automatically.
