I am ready for the weekend. Today was payday - that makes it even better for a Friday!

Last night right after work we had some errands to do. The pool part that Steve was working on - we had to go get some replacement parts so he could finish that project. Which by the way took him 10 min to do when we got home - so at least he wasn't in a bad mood again!!! When we purchased our new tv - they got us to buy these cables that you just have to have - well, they are 100 a piece and we needed 2 - one for the tv and one for the dvd player. When we got home from getting the tv Steve looked some stuff up on the internet to find out - we can get similar cables off the internet - 3 for $30 shipped. HOLY SHIT - that is a big difference. So, last night we took the over priced cables back and when we got home in the mail was the other ones. Then as the Weber luck goes - our weed eater took a crap. So, Steve had ordered one online yesterday and we went to pick it up at Sears. Lots of errands and home by 5:45! Damn we are good. That is just because we didn't do any other shopping at those places. In and Out for what we needed!

I cooked tacos for supper. They didn't taste as good as I was expecting. It was prolly me. Because I brought the left overs for lunch today and even today I didn't think they tasted very good. Steve mowed after dinner and Piper and I watered flowers and played.

After Steve was done mowing, him and Piper went for a swim. I think the water was alittle cool - she was alittle unsure last night. But she was loving it - I think we might have a water baby on our hands.

I had to have new tires put on my truck this week. $630.oo later - I have new tires and I can't believe the difference. I didn't realize my old ones were that bad. I was thinking the other day about trading it off and getting some more gas friendly. But hell - I just put $630 in tires I want to get some of the use of those. Plus I don't know that I could really get rid of my truck. I think we use it to haul stuff and put more stuff in there that we realize. So, I guess it just keeps taking me $75.00 or more a week to drive it! Shit! I can remember not that long ago either when gas was $1.79. Thank god, that gas prices weren't this high when Steve and I were dating and he lived in Ft. Wayne and I lived in Huntington. I hate to even think how much gas would have cost each of us. There were so many trips back and forth then...

You know something I have been thinking about alot lately - you know how when you see family - friends and you say "Hey we will have to get together this summer " and then you NEVER see each other. Well, that is really bothering me this year for some reason. I am to blame too. I always say - " we will have to have you over" - "We will have to get together" etc., etc., and then we all CLAIM we are too busy. And yes we are all busy - but if you just make the plans - then you really are busy then and just not doing shit around the house, going shopping, going to the grocery - all things that make us busy but yet you CAN fit in the visiting that needs to happen with your family and friends. So, I decided to quit saying it and start making plans. My friend(Steve's cousin) Nikki and her family are coming over. And I just need to make a list of the others and get invitin'.
