My car is at the mechanics. Apparently my oil pan rusted through and is leaking. It is going to cost about $320 to fix. Really I should be happy that I haven’t had to fix anything on my car in a long time. After all it is a 99. My Sentra has been good to me over the years. Having to find a new mechanic to trust is one of the down sides of moving. Also finding a new doctor and eye doctor and stuff like that, not fun.
Pat and I went for a few walks around the neighborhood this weekend. Pretty chilly out there, but it was good to get out and get some exercise.
I finished a baby quilt for a custom order. I like the way it came out. It has cute little dogs on it. I will have to take a picture of it before I send it out.
We rented Junebug and Talladega Nights. Pat gave a two thumbs down to Junebug and said he liked Talladega Nights more than he thought he would. I am not sure how I feel about Junebug. I wouldn’t call it a favorite or anything, but I found it kind of interesting. I was the one who wanted to rent Talladega Nights, because I enjoy Will Ferrell. I thought this movie was alright. It definitely wasn’t on par with Elf or Anchorman, but it was way better than Kicking & Screaming.
Today we finally had the locksmith come out and change our locks. Yay! I finally have my own key to our house! Moses got very freaked out by the locksmith. He apparently does not like tall men with hats who use power tools and leave doors open. He first decided to take cover under the couch and then fled upstairs where he lodged himself under Pat’s desk behind his computer. When I went up to check on him, I found him back there visibly shaking. Poor thing. I wonder how long it will be before he decides it is safe to come back downstairs.
Waaaaah!
oh no you have a sick car! that’s horrible!! at least, you can use Pat’s car. matt was like, WHAT?
of course he’s OCD about his cars, so they would never rust out like that…. =P
i’m playing brain age every day!
today my brain age is 21!!! i’m not too bad at math, but i hate the speaking out loud part. i’m going to play a bit of animal crossing now. the DS is quite fun!!
Poor Moses! Give him a hug for me,please.
Glad you are getting your car fixed. I was a bit worried about that leak.
p.s.
Love the photo of Zoe.
It actually only took Moses a few hours to come back downstairs. He gave the place a thorough sniff and decided it was safe.
I blame all the New England salted roads for that rust. I haven’t seen them salt down here. We did see the roads treated with something right before an ice storm, but I don’t know what it was, some kind of liquid.
probably some sort of toxic goo so in ten years, we will see frogs with 2 heads, etc… at least in new england they salt and sand, better for traction…
on the way back from Va sunday we saw snow flurries! weird!
