Car Woes

My cousin is having some serious car woes right now. Her car has been running hot and leaking something or another. She took the car to be looked at and the guy said she needed a new water pump and something else. LOL you can tell I know nothing about cars. All I know is that the work will cost more than she paid for the car, so she doesn’t think it’s worth it. What’s funny to me is that she can get the parts for cheap, but they want to charge her an arm and a leg for labor. If she can’t find someone else to fix it she’s considering junking it. I don’t think that’s the best option, but I guess she’s just frustrated. I don’t blame her though. She needs so many things done. If things continue to break, she’ll probably be online looking for a Beck Arnley air filter eventually. That’s if she doesn’t already need one!

Return of Peace

I think it’s amazing how one person can make things really bad for everyone else. We have these neighbors who are so noisy! Ever since they moved into the neighborhood everything has changed. Before they came it was so peaceful and now it’s just chaos most of the time. I have a strong desire to buy one of those cheap yard signs that have very direct messages on them to show them how I truly feel. Something like “Stay Away” or “Be Quiet” or “Respect Your Neighbors!”… or something. But the funny thing is, it’s not even the neighbors themselves that are causing the problems. It’s their son that comes to visit them. SMH. I know for a fact he’s the problem because he’s been gone for a while and it’s been so quiet lately. I don’t know where he went but I hope he stays there for a long time! I enjoy the peace and tranquility!

Finally, a Print!!

My cousin came to my house this weekend and I finally got to see her baby again after many months. It’s amazing how big he’s gotten. He’s the cutest/funniest looking little guy ever. He’s seven months and getting into everything. He crawls and stands really well and loves to laugh. He has such a good spirit. Besides getting to see and hold him, I also got a new picture of him. They took him to have pictures taken with the Easter bunny and my cousin gave me an 8×10 to keep. I love it!

I’m looking forward to adding his picture to my collection of family portraits. It’s nice to have an actual picture because everyone has digital cameras and cell phones now so they just posts pictures on Facebook instead of ordering prints. Now all I have to do is check out some personalized baby picture frames that will look nice with his picture so I can hang it on my wall. I can’t wait!

Kinda Over It!!

I think sometime when I wasn’t looking I became a tomboy. Or maybe I became a frustrated woman. Either way, I’ve definitely changed. When I was in my teens I was all about being girlie and pretty in pink. Now I could care less. I still get a little excited when I see pink clothing in my closet, but gone are the days when I try to dress up and look pretty. Now I just grab whatever feels comfortable. Maybe I’ve been single too long.

I guess if I was dating or in a relationship I’d put more into what I wear. Maybe I’d even buy sexy night gowns and lingerie corsets to make myself feel good. But since I’m not, I’m content with sleeping in old T-shirts. I just couldn’t care less about getting dolled up on most days. I’m a fan of natural beauty and comfort! And no, that’s not why I’m single!! LOL
