Without wheels!

I am not a homeless person but I am a wheelless person. My car went in for a simple oil change on Friday & I was told that the rear frame had rusted beyond rust! He did not say be careful driving it until it got fixed, he said DO NOT DRIVE IT! He checked out the rest of my car & everything else is perfect for a car as old as mine so we are getting it fixed.

Meanwhile I have no wheels & it makes me very sad!

Warning to everyone.....don't ever let anything you own in on the fact that you are spending mucho bucks on something else as they get insanely jealous & demand attention!


It was a very entertaining weekend as we went out Sat to get Popster a new phone.

They  kept his old one for the Smithsonian!

We kept it very simple as he hates anything technical.

After we got back in the car we paired the blue tooth with his on-star mirror. That's when the entertainment started.....it was better than any comedy show you have ever seen. Apparently "Matilda" didn't seem to recognize anything he said & would repeat back numbers if he said a name. I am so bad but I could not stop laughing which made it worse. Wanda is looking better & better to him right now! The "frosting on the cake" was when we went out yesterday I suggested that I try & he was like sure how's she gonna understand your accent! I pressed the button & said (in my best accent) "Call Josh's cell phone", she repeated it back & the phone began to ring.  After that call I said "Is there anyone else you would like to call?".  Not a problem...it worked again.

Now Matilda & I are both on his sh*t list!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates.  They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs.  Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools.  We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem.  It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view!  Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!
