Guess what is on dh's docket for the weekend???? Yes, he came home yesterday with $150 worth of "tune up necessities" for my car. He is going to give it the works. Right now it is in the shop having the air conditioning switch fixed. Yes, the air works, yes the heat works and the fan, belt, etc. are fine. But that little switch on the front that allows a little or a lot of air to come out is broken. So when you want to use the air/heat, you can only use it on the highest setting. Which of course plays havoc with my hair....I turn it on and my hair flies back, my eyeballs are dried out....thank goodness John doesn't wear a hair piece or it would be plastered to the back window every time we needed to cool down! (now there's a mental image to savor)....
Tonight Betsy is going to her friend's house for a sleepover and then they are going out for the day....oh to be young and have a social life again! Wee one is having her friend come over to spend the night here, and is quite excited about it. Last night she asked me if the friend could come, and I said she would have to ask her dad. She was in the tub at the time, with the curtain drawn when John came into the room. She called out, "Dad, can "h" spend the night tomorrow night?" he didn't respond immediately so she added, "Please? She isn't in my class this year, and we really need to catch up!" Oh, she can work that man....he laughs and tells her okay, and is rewarded with, "Oh thankyouthankyouthankyou daddy, I love you!" Then he gives me this smarmy smile to which I respond by giving him a standing ovation using my hand and one particular finger....
I've been cleaning all morning. I'm almost finished though. I got all the laundry put away and even cleaned out my closet. I have a lot of clothes that are going to the good will....they are still on hangers, but I will eventually get them packed up. I have been putting off doing the girls closets....because I hate the thought of it. So much to get rid of, what to keep, what to store....I wish this house had better storage. This is why I hate living in a ranch. I loved my two stories....it just seemed like we had more room.
I'm on day 4 of WW and doing okay. I bought all sorts of "good" food yesterday, and hopefully I'll be able to stick this one out....at least long enough to eat all the expensive crap I bought! LOL....It cost less to join for three months than it did to buy all this stuff! It will be worth it though, even if I could lose 20 pounds. I would be very happy with that.
Well, I've sat here long enough. I need to finish up and start sewing....

I have visions of you with your face all pulled back like when your riding a roller coaster, except your driving your car! Mick takes the top off his car in the summer and it plays havoc with my hair as well. The words bird and nest come to mind as a descrion of my hair afterwards! Hope both your kids have a good time at their sleepovers :) ......Jules xxxxxx

It seems your cars are always in need of a tweaking! Maybe it's just because you have a talented man at home who actually knows how to fix them! Lucky you! My son keeps asking me today if a friend can come over and play, but I am not like you, I say "No!". LOL! Well, I am really not that mean, but it's sleeting and raining outside and I have to keep the dogs out when his friends come over, so I am not that cruel to put them out in this stuff.
Hugs and love, lisa
