1. What's the most recent thing (non-HGR) you've bought? CPR Masks for the lifeguarding class I'm teaching this weekend:  
2. What's the most recent thing (HGR) you've bought?  I actually had to think about this.  I'm going to have to say paint at the last SW 40% sale, because I honestly can't think of anything in the last month or so.
3. What was your last $$$ purchase?  Nothing.  We're focusing right now on paying down debt, so pretty much all our money is going to that at the moment.  We'll be buying a MASSIVE load of topsoil and mulch in the next month, though - together with a bunch of new plants.

1. What's the most recent thing (non-HGR) you've bought?  Fruit and flowers for kitchen photo shoot.  Only the fruit made the cut.  We will be eating fruit and drinking fruit juice all weekend.lol

3. What was your last $$$ purchase?  A tool shed, although it wasn't that much since it is really small.

Non H&GR would probably be my Sam Edelman Gigi Flats. So comfy. I justified the purchase because they were replacing some Steve Madden flats that broke. Plus I went ahead and bought them for myself for Mother's Day.

H&GR is picking all the options for the new house. We decided not to use the vinyl plank because DH started reading reviews and got nervous. So I guess we'll be doing tile for now. Our design consultant is going ot also get us pricing for wood tile but she's already warned us it's more than engineered hardwood which is going to be a no go. Not in love with the idea of tile but it's more practical than wood since we have two four year olds. The kiddo and the dog.

$$$$ Purchase? The new house! We told ourselves that we were going to stick to all the standard stuff but we are finding that it's really hard to just stick within the standard selection. We've been adding this, that and everything to this build and it's starting to add up. Herringbone travertine backsplash? $550. Tub surround? $500. Shower wall? $500. Let's see...what else did we opt for...oh tile in a diagonal. $3000.

Haha, why don't you like working there?

I'm in the online MBA program. I feel pretty detached from the college itself, although I was on campus for the kickoff program in March.

It's all politics, all the time. It's probably that way at most universities, though.

1. What's the most recent thing (non-HGR) you've bought?

Lunch.  :-)

2. What's the most recent thing (HGR) you've bought?

3. What was your last $$$ purchase?

New fridge and oven, but I love them!

We have the exact same refrigerator! Love it!

I want your new stove though! We had put in a similar one in our WV house from LG and loved it! I can't wait to get another one like that!
