Engine Light

My engine car light came on so I took it back to the dealership today. By the time I got back to work, I got a call stating my car was ready to be picked up. I was really impressed! When I picked up my car I read what the diagnostic test said. "Gas cap was not on tightly. Mechanic tighten cap and test was completed." I felt like a total idiot. I am just glad the car was under warranty because I would have been very mad at myself if I had to have paid to be told this information!

Beautiful Memorial Day


I had a wonderful day with SIL and niece in Kokomo! The weather was absolutely beautiful.

Trip To Kokomo Indiana

Going north today. Sister-in-law get together and my brother doesn't want to go. SIL asked if I would go with her so I am going so she doesn't have to go it alone. I think I would rather stay home and sleep but I have already committed and it would be a disappointment for her. So off I go to spend the day with a family who I don't really know. I don't need to sleep anyway because then it will be really hard to get to bed tonight. 5 a.m. will come around very early tomorrow. It will be really hard not to take a nap on Tuesday during the middle of the day at work as it is now!

Ring and Wave

I told my sister-in-law if anyone hoots and hollers at me while I am riding my bike, I am going to RING my bell and WAVE! What better way to tell those people, "YEAH! I am old and I am riding my PINK BIKE whether you like it or not! How is that for a take it and shove it! (Smiles!)

I'm A Biker!



And it's pretty too!Posted by Hello

Remember when you first start dating someone? You feel so giddy and giggley? That is how I feel about my new bike! I love my bike! Yesterday I went to Matthews Bicycle Store and ask the salesman, "If your grandmother came in and she was 90 years old and she wanted to get a bike for exercise, which bike would you pick out for her?" The salesman walked right over and picked out the bike of my dreams. Rich went with me to buy the bike and he wanted me to get a blue one but I had to have PINK! It was for me, the girlie girl and since they didn't have purple....I had to settle for pink! Then I saw the basket so I said, "My bike needs a basket!" The salesman, said, "Do you need a bell?" "Yes! My bike needs a bell too!" I don't know if it was the excitement in my face that Rich saw, and wanted to be apart of but Rich bought me the basket and the bell! I love both of them. It really makes my bike look cool....(LOL!) The next thing I want to get is lights and maybe in the future some mirrors. I have asked for a bike rack and a bike lock for my birthday. Maybe my wish will come true.

Point A to Point B


My New Ride Posted by Hello

My SUV died. I had to mourn. I hadn't had a car payment in several years. I bit the bullet and bought a new car. Something I hadn't planned on. I am really happy with the car and glad I found one I could afford and liked. I am getting ready to pay my first payment. The first of many. It really sucks. I wanted a Mercedes really, really bad but I didn't want a $500+ car payment. It isn't a Mercedes but it will serve and get me to point A to point B. Isn't that really all that matters in a car?

Vacation Over!

Today is officially my last day of vacation and I am extremely sad about it. I thought I would be really relaxed and stress free by now. During my vacation time last year, I was in a totally different place. I think I need at least 1 more week to get relaxed....And I also need another $1,000.00 to spend while I am off. Might as well dream big.
