SO busy lately...

There's been so much going on lately, that I've barely had any time to do anything leisurely.


My truck is getting a new windshield. It started as a little chip (the third one) and started to crack. By the time the repair guy got to me, it was too big for him to fix it. So I scheduled a replacement. It was $50 cheaper to go without my insurance, so that was an easy decision.

Of course, I had just scrubbed all of my windows, including that one, inside and out. After they replace the glass, they clean all the windows for ya!


Next up, Dale and I have sold BOTH of our beater cars. As of last night, we are back to basics. Both cars were sold to co-workers of Dale. So he'll get to see them and keep up with how they're doing without having to do any of the work.

This will keep our maintenance costs down so we should be able to save a little bit of money. Since we are looking to buy a new car in the next couple years, it will be good to save up some cash. One of the cars we are looking at purchasing has free dealer maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles!


Other than that, Dale and I have both been working hard and have gotten to spend some time together. We spent some time dog-sitting this past weekend and hung out at the house to keep the doggie company. We ended up playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 for a while as the dog was passed out. It's the little things that I love.

There's one other thing, but I'm waiting for Dale to make it public before I tell the world. I'm SO excited, but it's his news, not mine, so I'll wait... impatiently. :)

Mailbox Project

So my sister, Bridget, and I were talking about how nobody ever sends letters in the mail any more. Well, my thought process is that I'm too lazy to write out a whole letter. I can never think if anything to say. Besides that, I would have to remember not to mention the same topic in one of our phone conversations.

So to make this adventure more probable, my mind wandered to postcards. You don't HAVE to write anything except the address you are mailing it to. So this idea has now started rolling...

I talked about it with one of the guys on my forum and he mentioned that it would a cool thing to post in the forums and see if we could get anyone else involved. So I posted the basic info and I actually have a number of people interested!

We now have about 10 people involved. We can all just randomly mail a postcard to anyone on the list as we want to. I hope to make this a bigger thing, but I'm really excited to be off to a good start as it is.

So yesterday morning I mailed off a stack of postcards to all of the people on the list as well as a couple of my ladies. I'm really excited to get this started. I'm even more excited to see what cool postcards these goofs come up with to send. Heck, I even have a little photo album all ready to store the postcards I get.

I swear I feel like a little kid. I'm actually excited to go to my mailbox again! I used to LOVE it, but lately, it's gotten bland...
