Survived!

So my car, whom I call Hunter, is going to make it afterall. We had some issues because he decided to let his crankshaft BREAK while we were in Castro Valley for St. Patrick's Day. I had major anxiety and was having crying fits that I'm broke and can't afford a car.. and that I'd be trapped at home (which I am right NOW).  So Friday before Todd and i headed up to CV to house and dogsit for his parents my mechanic called and said it would only be $1500.00 AHH! I had told my father that if it was more than $2,000 I'd can it and get another car. I was at the point where I almost wanted to just get another car and live off top ramen for a while (which many people know I lived off of for FOUR months lol). But that was good news.. I decided that I'd get him fixed and once I get a job I will be able to buy another one and sell this one..

So this weekend was pretty fun. We were in CV the whole time! We got there Friday and went to The Cheesesteak Shop. YUM! I had never had a Cheesesteak and oh my gosh I could go for one right now. We also experienced poor Sally (the family doggie) being beyond depressed that her parents were in Tahoe.. Hmm.. We also went to Sato Japanese Cuisine in Pleasanton-- my favorite and ended up at our friend Jimmy's house hanging out..Saturday was rather interesting..We went to sleep at 6am and Sally would NOT let me sleep.. so I got up at 730 and slept on the couch. By 10 Todd was awake and watching the Manchester United game.. then we ate, showered, and took off for Lucky to get food. We prepped Rock Cod, Yummy Rice, Asparagus, and Rolls for dinner. We were super anxious  because we ordered the UFC fights :) While we watched tv (before the fights) I made Funfetti Chocolate Chip Cake Cookies for Todd's grandpa.. he has a sweet tooth and is now living at a retirement facility so I thought that would be something to raise his spirit. So all was going well and all of a sudden BOOM the sewage in the house got messed up and it was NASTY. We ended up calling a Rooter place and they had it fixed so we could relax. We did get to watch MOST of the UFC fights but it kinda sucked having to get someone to come out and fix the place..All that mattered was Georges St. Pierre beat Dan Hardy to me :) We passed out and didn't wake up til NOON on Sunday.. well that is when I woke up. Apparently Todd had the same issue with Sally and ended up sleeping on the couch. I woke up at noon and stumbled around til I found him.. we couldn't shower because the stupid water heater wasn't working.. haha. So we did what we could and took off to China Garden-- YUM! We ate sooo much there-- Honey Walnut Prawns, Pork Fried Rice, War Wanton Soup, and Seasame Chicken and then boxed it up to take to both his parents and his grandfather-- yes there was THAT much food. After hanging out with his grandpa we headed back to his parents house and watched the Sharks game.. eventually ended up back in SJ at Pita Pit and Safeway grabbing dinner (yummmmm Pita Pit) and Wine and Cheese for a snack. :) It was a blast overall.. but I'm glad to be back in  my own bed!

**also I won a YuDu screenprinter on ebay.. That is what happens when I watch a freakin' infomercial LATE at night and go "I want that" then bid on it and go "oh shit I won.. I have to pay now.. crap!" So I'll test it out this week...

Anyway.. right now Todd is at the gym and I'm stuck at home.. no car til hopefully Friday/Saturday.. It's my parents 30th wedding anniversary and they cleaning the back yard lol.. I wish I had my car.. soon I will..

Car Problems..

I have to buy a new car.. hello depression :( I also had a bunch of setbacks today after talking to my lawyer.. grr..

Arrived in Lake Tahoe.. Its beautiful

Absolutely having a horrible day.. My vacation to Lake Tahoe is not coming soon enough.. Details to follow

Ooohh Tuesday

We woke up today and were in search of the Chelsea-Inter Milan Soccer game.. we watched parts of it, well Todd did, I remained on my laptop drooling over pictures of Lake Tahoe and preparing myself for Friday. Friday is a BIG day! I have my job interview at 9am ::crosses fingers:: and then we leave for Tahoe. I really want to go to Squaw Valley because I'm an Olympics Freak and I want to see their museum. I also discovered recently that my ringer won't work on my Palm Pre.. so tomorrow I MUST go get it fixed. I had to take my old brick of a phone (HTC Mogul) out of what I thought was permanent hibernation in case they can't fix my Pre before we take off for Tahoe-- at least I'll have a phone..


Accomplishments of the Day:

• Went to the Gym
• Grocery Shopped

• Bought Guinness (Happy St. Patrick's DAY!) I'm making Guinness Brownies so I needed the beer for them :)
•  Made dinner for my parents, Todd, Santos and Merraya
• Watched the Sharks get destroyed by the team I cannot stand (Dallas Stars)
• Made some jewelry

Now I'm off to bed.. I have SOO much to do tomorrow.. gnite and good morning to all!

Success

So even though I haven't been feeling so great.. I've gone back to the gym and now I feel WONDERFUL! I day dream about the elliptical.. that's a serious issue huh? Well that's my quick little entertaining update..

Semi-Unproductive Friday

So we ended up staying up until about 3am this morning.. We watching "Law Abiding Citizen" and I made my mom a cute little felt teddy bear.. Nothing too exciting. We woke up at about noon which was WAY late. I ended up making scones for us and then Todd made Grilled Cheese Sandwiches-yum! We cleaned the spare room and were lazy most of the day. I'm still a little under the weather and my achilles is still bothering me so we'll head to the gym tomorrow.. nothing too exciting to report tonight..
