A Bug's Life

so. I decided to take the bug out for a "spin" I figured that it wont stay running in the garage because it needs to get going and moving in order to warm up. I was wrong. way wrong. I drove it down the hill and shifted into 2nd and started to turn in the culdasac. when I heard a bang and it stalled. of course I was at the bottom of the hill and couldn't get it going again. And btw ryan wasn't home to help me. so I went back to the house and got the 4-wheeler and dragged it back up to the driveway, I didn't think it all the way through though. I backed into the driveway and the bug didn't want to turn cause the wheels weren't turned. so I pulled it into the driveways bank and got into the bug to get the brake on. Somehow I finally got the bug back into the garage. I cut my hands all up on the wench and cursed the bug up and down. I definitely think the 4-wheeler was worth buying now though.... my neighbors must get a good laugh out of me.

tuesday

does anyone watch the unit? it is so good- everyone should watch it. its about this secret department in the army that goes on secret missions and basically doesnt exist. i dont understand though why we would give the general public all this info. cause all our tv shows are watched in other countries. then we wonder why we get bombed.
anyways its on tonight and i love it.

I have been trying to get my bug running for 2 days now...no luck. i got my new battery in hoping it would be the fix...knowing that it wouldnt be though. and it wasnt. maybe tomorrow i can get some help. i need to have the oil changed too but i will leave that to my mechanic.

patty had her teeth cleaned yesterday and it was only $80. i think fayetteville is trying to rip people off when they clean their dogs teeth.

sick

i'm still sick, i slept most of the day...it was so nice. we had our leadership retreat this weekend. ryan and i are both doing a leadership program for the county. there are 22 people in the program and its 10 months long. we go once every month now for 9 months. i think its going to be a great resume addition. plus i will learn lots about the area...and hopefully not be so negative about it all the time.

so not much has been going on lately. i got my carb back in the bug but i still need to do some adjustments. next saturday i can take it out on the road, as long as its not salty. i have a few things i need to buy for it, a new battery is the main thing. this bug is much easier to change the battery thank god.

patty is going in for her teeth cleaning tomorrow, i'm hoping it wont break the bank. shes had no food or water since noon. poor baby. i think i finally found a 'paintable' picture of linus. i seriously took about 140 pics to get it. she is just not photogenic like patty. half of them have her tongue sticking out. i never realized how often she does that.

st pattys day

tomorrow is such a good day. i'm so excited, i am taking a half day of vacation. ryan and I are getting out at 11, going to the Y then going to lunch and drink drink drink. i think its going to be a sloppy night. fun fun. i am bringing my beeleybop's to wear. which reminds me - becky you never wore the ones i got you in vegas! how rude........

i have been so busy at work i havent had a moment to catch up on the blog. so last weekend we went to albany for nicoles house warming party. so fun.

patty got groomed today, i had them cut her butt and legs a little shorter this time cause she sometimes gets some unmentionables on her butt hair, cause its so long. she looks a little ridiculous right now, kindof like a mindy butt- but it will grown in.

ryan tried our irish tout tonight- after he broke a bottle in the basement, agh. wasting our precious beer. it tastes pretty good, kinda like the IPA though :) tomorrow when i drink the real stuff i should be able to tell better. its been forever since i have had a guiness though.

oscars!!

tonight is the oscars, i am excited. i hope jake g wins for brokeback mountain. oh i am pissed. i read in the paper last sunday that brokeback mountain was coming to wellsville movie theater so i asked ryan if we could go on saturday and he actually said yes. so i was so excited. well yesterday he called to see what time it was showing and last thursday was its last night!! so upset. i missed my chance to see it.

it has been a very busy week for me, a guy i work with is out for 3 days and so i am doing extra work, plus its a busy time anyways. ugh. i went in today for a few hours.

ryan and i are going to bottle our latest beer- an irish stout tomorrow. hopefully it is ready by st pattys day.
