Road trip snacksA couple of random things…

Vacation is almost here!  YAY!  We leave on Saturday, but this weekend sure is taking forever to get here.  At least we are now very well stocked with plenty of snacks for the road.  Ever since I was a kid we always got to have lots of junk food on road trips as a treat.  When you’re driving all day there really isn’t much else to do other than enjoy the snacks.

Then we did our big Sam’s Club run too.  We own the vending machine at my work and drinks go fast this time of year, so we wanted to make sure it was all the way full before we leave.

Drinks for our coke machineIn other news… we found a scorpion in the bathroom.  Never seen one of those before!  Jesse didn’t believe me when I told him what he need to come kill this time.  With the extremely hot weather the last couple of weeks, we have had a few too many critters finding their way into the house.  So, Jesse decided it was time to call pest control.  The first thing Jesse wanted to explain to the guy was that we don’t normally have this much junk food sitting out around the house.  That isn’t the reason for the bug problem!  The guy just laughed at that.

Lastly, my car radio is working again.  It started getting fuzzier and fuzzier until finally I couldn’t listen to anything but static on it anymore.  It has been that way for a couple months now.  Then yesterday when I was switching CDs I realized I could hear talking.  And now it’s back to being perfectly clear.  It’s a nice change to listen to the radio again, and it got fixed all by itself.

Flash Me Friday: Car

June 4, 2010 in Filed Under: Flash Me Friday 1 Comment

This week’s Flash Me Friday is your car.  You can join the Flash Me Friday fun too, check out The Groettum Family blog and join in.

My carThis my car, a 2007 Kia Sorento.  We just bought it last September so it’s still fairly new to us.  The car I had before was my first car, which I had all through college and our first couple years of marriage.  I really loved that car!  But then the air conditioning decided to break… in July!  So, we were going to just get that fixed while we saved up for a new car.  However, that plan didn’t quite work out because the transmission was dying also.  After that car stalled twice in the middle of traffic, we decided it was time to start looking for a new car.  I’m so happy with our choice!

We are still in the stage of not letting the car get dirty, so you wont find any surprise messes here.  The only thing that stays is my sweater, which I take everywhere since public places like to freeze me in the summer.  And in the back I keep a towel for all the paint runs I have to do for work.  Don’t want that making a mess.  I love how much easier it is to get stuff in and out of the back compared to my old small trunk.  And I love that I’m so much higher from the ground when I’m driving compared to my old car.  There is really nothing I don’t love about my new car.  We can’t wait to take it on it’s first road trip next week.

Before and After

June 1, 2010 in Filed Under: General 4 Comments

So, after much debate I decided to get my hair cut yesterday. I tried a new place right by my house because I got a $2 off coupon in the mail. The girl that did my hair was awesome! Even though I don’t feel the need to have my hair perfect at all times, nothing drives me crazier than when I can tell that the layers are not even. This girl was more of a perfectionist than I am. She spent forever making sure that everything was even. I told her several times that I really appreciated her taking that extra time. Especially since my last hair cut was not so good, and was quite a bit more expensive. This one was only $15.95 after the coupon. You can’t tell from the picture, but it is quite a bit shorter than before. Great deal! :)

Now we are all sitting around my parents living room waiting for it to be time to go to the airport to pick up my sister, Ashley, from the airport. She is home from grad school in California for the summer. Yay!!
