Big News for my Hubby

Well this is day 2 for my husband who is quitting smoking...he has been a smoker for 40 yeqrs...so 2 days without any is a BIG deal...my daughter and I are so proud of him. So fingers crossed.

My daughters car is still not back yet..they have replaced the ABS MODULE, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR, THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE TRANSMISSION DOWN...THE GAS TANK NOW OPENS, THE TRUNK NOW OPENS....WOW we took it out for a test drive and it ran wonderfully, there was a couple of little things we wanted fixed but these have all happened while it has been at the dealers service department...the most amazing part if the dealership has paid for everything. I am thrilled, pissed off and amazed all at the same time. I mean it was a used car and besides the little things we wanted fixed they certainly did not have to honor these services.

Hopefully she will get it back this weekend...meanwhile she got her license on Monday, has had my car everyday and already cost me a tank and a half of gas...hopefully the novelty will wear off before I am too broke. I normally might fill up my car once a month.

Anyway enough ramblin'. Car show and ARTs and Craft fair this weekend...so I will definitely take my camera and get some pics to make this blog a little more interesting...okay a LOT more interesting.

Good Night

The New Addition

Well we did it...we got my daughter her first car...unfortunately she only had it for a day before we had to take it to the service department to fix some agreed upon issues. We told the salesman the gas tank needed to open..LOL..the trunk needed to open and we wanted to know why the ABS light was on....well good thing, because after they checked they realized the ABS module needed replacing..now this is an 1100.00 part....but because we said the sale was incumbent upon this being fixed we don't have to pay a dime. So the SLUG BUG should be back at the end of the week and she does her drive test on Monday...scary for me, exciting for her!!!

This is her new baby.

The weather here is finally being reasonable...I can get back in the studio and WORK..yah...I had a 3 day garage sale on the weekend and on Saturday I stood out there all day in 98 degree heat...not fun...but that is over with and I can concentrate on my beads. I will have some new listings up on eBay tonight and will post the link later.

Have a great week and talk to you soon
