catching up

Well......first I want to let everyone know that I called the Eye Specialist for Turbo and they told me to bring him in on Monday for Noon. Phew! He bumped his eye on something and now has a big gash just above his eye. ( he is LUCKY he didn't cut his eye....that would of been really bad if he did. so hopefully Monday Dr. Koch will have some positive news in saving Turbo's eye. From what I have been told by the GMPR that he is the one to go to for the best care for Turbo's eye. He is a great Dr. we have to leave early seeing how it is over 2 hours away from where we live. Brad is taking the day off to come with me and Turbo. so I will let you all know what we learn on Monday.



Last Tuesday I met who used to be just a blog friend who I now consider a Great personal friend. Wendy from Wes'n'Lani at Olive Garden for dinner and then went to Tar*get for a little shopping. We had a nice time and caught up on the past few months since we have seen each other. Her daughter Lani came alone too and was so good. She sneezed her way through dinner as she was looking stylish wearing her sunglasses the whole night. She is such a Doll. She calls me Auntie Lisa....( so cute) I took pictures with my cell phone but I can't seem to get them to my computer. Along with a picture of my car that I took before we met......My car up on a lift in a garage! while I was on the interstate all of a sudden I heard a loud noise under my car as if I was dragging cinder-blocks. I just figured it was the pavement since there was a lot of construction going on. as I got into town I could hear the nose and pulled into that mall. ( I wanted to get a few things in there anyway) when I parked the car I looked under it and my skid-plate was hanging on the ground all torn up ( I guess going 70 MPH on the interstate for 45 miles hanging on the ground it was bound to get torn up.)



I call Brad....



Me~ Hi hon, I have a problem. something fell of under my engine and it is dragging



Brad~ huh? Oh...I guess this is a bad time to tell you. The other day at the lake when I pulled up to our camp I bottomed out the bottom of your car in the driveway...sorry!...just crawl under the car and tuck it up on something..



Me~ Ahh Thanks...Thats something I would of done! ahh and no there is no shoving it under something, It is a huge!

Brad~ Mumbled worlds...I wasn't listening to him....so mad at this point!

Me~......ya right it is a hard long piece of plastic and it is like 5 feet long. and besides there is a man walking his dog looking at me funny with him pulling down his shades to get a better look!. so no



Brad~ Just tuck it up on something.



Me~ Ya right, This is a husbands job! I am not going to lay on the ground under my car and shove the huge plastic thingy under something with some old guy walking his dog watching me. No! .... (Yelling!!!)
okay okay Okay I am trying...( totally lie! I didn't want to look like a fool so I told Brad that I tried.)



Brad~ did it work?



Me~ No. What the H$ll.....I am not doing this Brad. So I am going into the mall to get a few things before I meet Wendy. My car will just sit here! maybe the man with the staring problem will fix it while I am in the mall.......



Brad~ well go to a garage when Wendy meets you. I don't want you going alone.



Me~ Ya I guess.....
Bye...I hung up!






The whole time I was shopping I was thinking how the heck I was going to get my car anywhere. Shopping was not even fun....



when I got done I went back to the parking lot and saw my car and cringed knowing I had to drive it like that. I guess the man with the staring problem didn't want to help.I pulled out I turned a lot of heads So embarrassing!.....it was so loud! just as I turned the corner at mall parking lot I see SEARS auto garage! Whoa hoo! I pulled up and asked if they could help me and they did.....I felt like a total idiot! but they got it done with in 15 minutes...They didn't charge me but I gave the sweet guy $10.00 for taking time out his job to help me. Just in time to meet Wendy across the street at Olive Garden!







We have a new family member....
Tori has a friend who wanted to give Tori a kitty from a family members cat who had a litter of kittens....... I didn't want another cat in the house but...Brad the soft hearted one gave Tori the Okay.... ..Tori named her Sophie May.........

Willow and Belle love her! they are so gentle with her. Turbo has no clue that there is even a kitty in the house.



She is adapting well.....She has a vet app. next week for a check up. ( yep another vet bill!)

Mommy is totally on your side; she HATES car problems and would have called AAA to tow the car someplace.

Jessica said...

ha I so would have done what you did with Brad if my car did that.
Welcome to the family Sophie! I LOVE the markings on her nose. I would love to scoop up a kitty from my parents farm but not while living in this place. Way to small!

How scarey about the car. I would have freaked out! I'm so glad it wasn't anything to complicated to have fixed. I wouldn't have known what to do either.

Oh the kitty is so cute! I'm glad the dogs are getting along with the new addition to your family. I had something like that happen to me once, talk about a loud noise it made as it rubbed against the tire. Like you said, how embarrassing. I hope Turbo's appt went okay today.
