Just got home from such a long day.

Just got home from such a long day.  I have hurt my back, BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE I now have rims for my car.  FOUR of them, even.  Only cost me $80.  And they are kind of pretty.  AND they match.  😳

Me and Shaun went to Pull-A-Part in Birmingham because all of the nearby salvage yards didn't have anything to fit my car.  They can't tell you what parts they have in stock, but their website did say that they have 4 Kia Sportages who's parts would fit my car.  I thought that surely they would have some rims and they did.

It was pretty interesting because you look up where the cars are, then go in with these wheelbarrows and your own tools, take what you need, and then pay for it.  It was kind of like a scavenger hunt.  Pretty fun, actually.  😃  The rims I just bought have tires on them, but none of the tires are good, so they didn't charge me for them.  It will probably be next week before I can afford tires for them, but hey - I'm one step closer to feeling safe in my car, so I'll take it.

When I was looking up pricing for new rims it was redonk.  Like, of everything I found I would have been paying about $80 PER RIM, not the whole set.  So I feel like I got a pretty good deal.  I like it when that happens.  😃

Then, since I had a coupon that expires today we stopped by Ulta since we were up there.  Nothing like some cheap nail polish to make a girl's day.  🙂  Had a nice dinner at Outback, just the two of us, then headed home.  Oh, and on the way up I had to pee SUPER BAD, so we stopped at a gas station and they had little home-made chess cake squares.  WHAT?  That was awesome.  😃

Anyway, I'm going to shower.  I NEED to.  LOL  I really hope I'm not all crippled up in the morning.  😳

Thank you, Laurel...

Thank you, Laurel, for hanging out for lunch and helping me plant some plants.  Now I'm a real person with a real house with real plants!  I super hope they don't die!  ❤

My nail beds hurt.

My nail beds hurt.  They usually only hurt when my nails are too long, but they don't seem to be.  🙁

I have a dog being stubborn outside.  I can't sleep with him out there.  But I would really like to get to bed.

It's been a day.  I think I could probably sleep from now until Sunday.  😳

Also, I REALLY want to ride my bike. And I just haven't had the time. Super suck!

Well, I lied. To myself, and to everyone else.

One last set of Halloween nails.

I started the month off with Jack and felt it was only fitting to end with Sally.

What I really love is that she's not necessarily done in Halloween colors.  I like these colors together, actually.  🙂  I think it's really pretty.

Happy Halloween!  😃

I have the sweetest boyfriend.

I have the sweetest boyfriend.  He has bought me two new bicycles in two days.  LOL

We found one at Target yesterday that wasn't hideous and ACTUALLY fit me.  I wasn't FOND of what it looked like (red, white and silver - not bad), definitely better than the 80's barfing up a unicorn one that we saw at Wal-Mart.  So we brought it home last night, and I rode it a little, and it was ok.  It was making noise and doing some weird bump thing, and I couldn't go as fast I remember riding when I was a kid.  It had no gears, and backwards brakes - just like I wanted.  But, I realized I wouldn't be able to do much with it.

So we went to Dick's today and I found one I REALLY like.  It does have gears and handlebar brakes, but that's ok.  I'm already almost used to the brakes.  I haven't a clue about this 21 gears thing, though.  I don't like how I'll be pedaling, but it feels like I'm doing nothing sometimes.  I guess it'll take some getting used to.  I'm ok with the gears and hand brakes because I'm not leaning over crazy far.  That was the big no-no for me.  I didn't want to be laying all down on my face to ride it.  LOL  And, it's fucking pretty.  It's purple and vine-y.  😃  Woohoo!  🙂

Before anyone thinks we're crazy, YES, we will be taking the crappier one back to Target.  I don't need to have two bikes.  LOL

Oh, and I was pleasantly surprised to find such a nice bike at Dick's.  It was less than $200, but it was really nice.  That's a good middle ground (to me, anyway).  Not Wal-Mart quality, but not specialty bike store prices, either.  I can't believe how much some bicycles cost.  😳

These are the last Halloween nails I'm doing this year.

These are the last Halloween nails I'm doing this year. I can't wait to take them off. I'm ready for something new. And I just did these last night!

I don't think I've ever seen an M&M the color of my ring finger, but they should TOTALLY make that. Who doesn't want booger colored candy on Halloween? And Shaun tried to convince me to go with a red base on my pointer finger, but I was afraid that would look too much like Christmas. So, since purple and green are the other two Halloween colors (in my head, anyway) it is what it is.

I think they are pretty cute, but I am honestly kind of burnt out on Halloween. Maybe I won't do the whole month next year. LOL

Sex Ed tonight on the way home...

Sex Ed tonight on the way home...

Me and Shadow were on our way home from Munford when we saw two dogs on the side of the road, stuck together.  Now I'd heard about this, but had never personally witnessed it.  He was like, "Are they conjoined?"  And I was like, "No... their, um, genitals stick together when they have sex."

His next question was "That doesn't happen to people, does it!?"  He sounded scared.  It would have been really funny if I'd just rolled with that, but I told him the truth.  He sounded relieved, and said "Good.  That looks painful."  It really kind of did.  😳
