sprinkle the holy water....

My poor family truckster - has been given last rites by our mechanic. While HE cannot find the overheating problem, it appears every freaking afternoon on my drive home... HOT+traffic+ NO A/C = overheating truck... yesterday we added, let's cook the driver in HOT. It's like the freaking heater is on - and it's 100 degrees with the wind in your hair...

Today I brought in shorts and cotton shirt to drive home in -instead of dresses and hose. ick. On the up side today its not going to be 100 degrees today - only 88. Take what you can get and don't complain.

So with my truckser limping to the finish line, we are now hunting up it's replacement. Bubba and car shopping - I will need meds - serious meds. We did some hunting up last night - I did some traffic shopping this morning, noting what I liked and what I didn't like. It should prove to be an interesting weekend.

Let's think about this plan of my hubby's - Friday he's got a test for his new company to ensure that his wife isn't slipping funny things into his iced tea. Next we are picking up a power washer so we can strip the deck in prep for painting and sealing said deck. While he's doing that I get to go to the bank and get my new car check, and get to spray deck cleaner on deck. THEN we'll go car shopping - Saturday we're up early (won't that be fun?) to paint/seal the deck - then we're meeting my former office mate and her family for dinner - Sunday - we're going to a picnic to welcome home a friend from parts afar - in which I have to bring veggies. Which means I need to make plans for shopping and prep - when I threaten Bubba I guess I'll find the time - some time about midnight Saturday I think.

Monday we leave for our vacation-vacation and frankly after this weekend I'm going to need it. I am desperately trying to squeeze in a manicure - as I've got a nail in need of repair and it's time to change the color. Yes I am the pampered princess - deal with it.

On the total upside - I'm working 2 days this week, and 2 days next week. And parts of me feel somewhat guilty about that but hey - it is what it is and for basically the rest of the summer - I am at work. Oh sure there is a Random Friday here and there but generally I'm in the office.

All right I've got work to do, a run in my hose, and a car that is unhappy. Life boys and girls it's a hilly ride - and right now - I'm in the downhill coast-- which is a good thing as my car isn't doing that well. ;-)
