Thanks everyone! I've had a pretty decent day!
Slept in this morning...then slept in too late! DH let me sleep...not thinking about the stuff I had to do before we left! Oh well...so I finally got going and got dressed and out the door. Didn't get to the feed store for hay (or chicks)...but we DID get to the post office! The dunderhead at our insurance agent's office screwed up the whole printing out an insurance card with my DH's name on it thing...and DH didn't push it...so off we went to Red Robin for my Bday luch. Ok...so we left WV at like 1130AM. We had a WONDERFUL lunch at Red Robin - I CRAVE their avocado/bacon burgers! Then we futsed around at Target for a little while, picked up a couple drinks at Giant and off to the auto auction.
I know some of you may be like Auto Auction? Well yeah...this place is AWESOME! Let's just say, after all thsi time of ME tempering DH's enthusiasm for car-shopping and his 'emotional' state etc...we get there, and I see the numbers and variety of vehicles and my little heart just went WEEEEEEEE!!!! So there I was...like an idiot...running around in the sleet and rain, jumping into every car I could! Starting them up...checking out the mileage etc. We checked out our cars...then kinda wandered around....I was attracted to all the trucks! My poor DH was trying to get me FOCUSED! Having ADHD in a place like that can be quite the experience! Anywhoo...so we WERE able to win his car! (got it for a deal too!) Just in case...I had worn an outfit that would make me appear to be "with child" in case I needed the sympathy edge in bidding!!!! We got our car...and for a really 'budget friendly' price too! WOOOO HOOOO! We finally got home around 9PM though! I tell ya...they do a LOT of business...and they're apparently good at it.
Oh yeah...the weather has been less than wonderful (thanks Bon!) but...it could've been a LOT worse...and all in all it's been a great day! Very positive vibes going! This has been one of the better birthdays I've had in a long time!
Now I have to remember tomorrow is my mom's bday and call her back! Lots of bdays in February! I'll have to catch up on all the journals etc tomorrow...gotta eat and go to bed. I'm going into work tomorrow (my off day) to make up for today. DH is going to drive us in his NEW car!
Oh...and the tires on this thing aren't too bad! (We'll see how long they last with DH driving now though....)
Ah Bon...I was just ribbing you! It was quite funny though...us running around in the HAIL!!! I mean they were ice beads falling from the sky...WITH the rain! Too funny. Got soaked...but had a lot of fun! i was just glad it wasn't in the 50's...cause then I would've been cold! I know it sounds crazy...but it the weather is messy in the the 30's...I'm ok. Messy in the 50's and I'm freezing my tushy off!
This morning...it was downright BALMY compared to yesterday. Don't know what the heck is going on, but I think Spring is starting to make trouble for Winter! It's crazy to think March is literally 2 days from now....all the gardening planning I have to do!
That's ok...I hope you're feeling better Southern! (I didn't know you were sick....)
You're ALWAYS welcome to come up and go to the auction! Every Tuesday...EVERY Tuesday!!!
I want a truck from there now too! Gotta save my pennies though....
I got it Bon...thanks!
Oh...forgot to mention (in my journal)...that I was a complete louse today. I've been unconcious most of the day...slowly coming back alive. DH is giving me a ration of poop about it....but I NEEDED it!
Baby - the Icelandic, likes to ruminate IN my raised bed! Silly thing...she just sits there...ruminating away...while Snuggles lays and ruminates outside the bed. Meanwhile the goats were all cuddled together on the hill....ruminating like a big pile of snakes! I think Gus thinks she's a goat! she watches the sheep...but she runs with the goats! Silly critters.....
