HOLY SHIT!

HOLY SHIT!

I just walked into the living room because Shadow was in there about to feed the dragons and ADDC was being cute.  (I'll tell you about ADDC later.  LOL  Just realized that she has not been introduced to the internets).

ANYWAY, Beyonce was laying on the couch.  Out in the open.  With me and Shadow BOTH in the room.  This time I was the one who was doing the running away.  I had to come and tell the Internet that she didn't leave.  😳

When Shadow left I asked him if she hid.  She had not.  She just went to the other end of the couch.  !!!!!
It's a Thanksgiving miracle!  LOL  I Just want to scream, but that would totally scare my cat so I won't.  😳😃

Car / money stuff. 😳

Car / money stuff.  😳

I had money put back to shave Nappy because she DESPERATELY needs a haircut... but then my cars broke down and I didn't have a way to get her to the groomer.  So, that sucked.

I went to CarQuest today to pick up a new alternator for my Hyundai since it is under warranty.  I took them back my old one and the lady tested it and said it was fine.  She is thinking that there is some connection or grounding issue, or maybe that the belt tensioner is the problem.  So.  😕

While I was there I mentioned the problem with my Kia and she told me and Shaun to try to jump it and get it to the store so she could do a test on it, too.  Let me just pause here and say that they close at 7, we showed up at 6:50 to get the alternator (not intentionally), and she was STILL super nice and willing to help me.  She told us to call her if we got it running and were coming by.  So, we headed over to the recycle bins where I left it.

I really didn't think that my Kia needed jumping... I was thinking that the starter might have gone out or something.  So we got there and I tried to crank it and it cranked.  😳  I did the exact same thing last night and it wouldn't.  So what the hell, right?

Shaun called her and told her we were on our way, so she waited at the store for us and tested my battery when I got there.  She said that I had a dead cell.  So, I spent my dog-shaving money on a battery.  On the bright side my Kia is running - for the moment.  I am not going to get entirely too comfortable with that idea, though, because I have been stranded... well, I honestly don't know how many times over the last few weeks.  🙁

Since this week is about halfway over and Thanksgiving is coming and Friday is crazy day and all of that I think I will just call tomorrow and try to get Nappy a hair appointment for Monday, if at all possible.  Or maybe I'll consider having it done on Friday because I will have some money then and I don't want to make her wait.  Poor girl can't see a thing and with all this rain she is like having a wet dog flavored mop dripping all over the house.  LOL

So... bike stuff. 😃

So... bike stuff.  😃

I got my new seat yesterday.  It's not installed yet because Shaun has a boo-boo and (though I am pretty handy with tools) I'm too cold to be going out in the garage to bother with it.  It is also too wet and too dark and too cold to ride right now, so it's not exactly pressing that it gets put on.  BUT, I am SUPER EXCITED to try it out.  🙂

I rode some on Sunday with my old seat and my bike shorts.  That was a good bit more comfy, but there is still room to improve.  I went ahead and ordered some Chamoise Butt'r for the friction, so that should be handled.  Once I get my new seat on I should be 1000% AWESOME.  That is my expectation, anyway.  😃

Also, Shaun ordered new shifters for me today.  I HATE HATE HATE the twisty handle-bar deal so these are the trigger kind.  I am excited to get them.  I should have them by Friday, so hopefully I'll be riding this weekend with everything just how I want it.  THEN, I can think about things like building up endurance and getting fun things like a speedometer and lights and all that.  Woohoo!

So... this is NOT my usual style.

So... this is NOT my usual style. This is a little out-there for me. But on the way to Ulta the other day, I was inspired by a billboard. It was a red box with a zebra print frame. I tried doing just a red square in the middle, but I didn't like that, so I made a stripe all the way down, and that was better. I like the way they look, but I am not a fan of white polish. It is SO HARD to clean your edges and make them look nice. I don't know why. 😕


These came out of Shaun.

These came out of Shaun. He stole them out of my yard, so I got to have them back. 😛


That, y'all, is two shards of a dried up weed of some sort. It splintered off DEEP in his thumb pad. 🙁

The doctor told him to wear gloves next time... not only to keep this from happening again, but to protect his nail polish. 😃

All numbed up.

All numbed up. Looking like a zombie thumb. I think Shaun feels much better now. Dr. Crawford was awesome. He even let me take a video. Will try to put that up later. 😃

So... I am not into football, even slightly.

So... I am not into football, even slightly. BUT, I really dig that they have these colors paired off, AND nail decals to go with them. That was a good idea. They also have files, too, but I care less about that. It's probably crap.

This is at Martin's Pharmacy in Oxford if anyone is interested. I got the white from the AL side and the blue from the AU side. They are both really pretty. 🙂
