So long ol' girl...

...we had a good run.

Today I sold my RAV4. It was the first car I ever owned. (And the only one, until 2 years ago.) The ol' girl and I had been together for 12 years. And she's still going strong! I'll admit it, I cried as she drove away.

Wednesday

I've gone back and added a bunch of posts that had never been posted cause I haven't been on here much lately. You'll have to click on "older posts" at the bottom of the page to get throught them all. They go back untill February 3rd.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

The Jokes on Me!

So, B has been having some trouble sleeping lately, and I was afraid that the time change two weekends ago would make it worse. So, I tried to slip it by him. Since we never watch live TV and he works from home, this wasn't too hard of a feat. I just changed the clocks. Sunday came, and we went about our day. Later that afternoon, he left the house to return something at Best Buy. Shortly after he left, he called me and asked, "Is it daylight savings today?" ...Oops...I had completely forgotten about the clock in his car! Oh, well...I tried.

Here's where the joke was on me...

Two days later, I had to drive into Houston to run an errand. It was near Ikea, so I thought I'd stop in and look around. I was in there for quite a while, then I thought I'd better head back home so I don't get caught in the after work traffic. I get in my car to go back home, and look at the clock on the dash, which I'd made sure to changed after B had called me Sunday. ...But.....eeek!....I forgot to change the time on my watch! I was using it while in the store. The actual time was 4:47pm!!!

It was a long drive home.

BTW, Jenn, I got your bedspread. :)

A hiking we will go...

This afternoon B and I decided to go on a little hike around the preserve behind our house. It was quite nice. I decided to make it a family event and brought Harley with us. But the ol' guy coundn't hang. Half way through he was looking really tired, so I ended up carrying him for most of the rest of the way. And I know he had to be really tired, because at one point he even let me carry him on his back, and he usually hates that. Spoiled rotten dog!

And Jenn, I don't know how you can garry Gabe for so long, cause my arm was hurting carrying an 11 pound Chihuahua for a half an hour. Guess I need to build up my muscles. lol

Later that evening B and I went on a dinner date to a new Thai place near us. The building and sign have been there for a while and we'd been patiently awaiting it's opening. It was yummy.

HAPPY MARDI GRAS!

Mushy gushy love day

Well, it's been a rough week for our guests. In the past few days, everyone from our trip has gotten a stomach bug, except B and I. That's 9 out of the 11 people! Even my cousin, who was only with us on the last day, got sick. I'm not sure how B and I managed to avoid it. To add to the fun, our washing machine broke. And believe me, with that many sick people in the house, we were in desperate need to do laundry. B and Ben ended up taking several loads to a laundry mat. Thankfully, we were able to get someone to come out yesterday to fix it.


Today everyone seems to be on the mend. While the guys were out shopping for our Valentines meal, the gals dipped strawberries, bananas, marshmellows, blueberries, and whatever else we could find in chocolate. The guys made dinner and we created our own little restaurant atmosphere in the dinning room while Chelsea watched the boys.
