Time Flies

Man I can not believe it is Friday yet again. This week Toby and i spent a lot of time at home. Toby had a chance to play a lot in his new Johnny Jump up seat he seems to really enjoy himself no matter what he is doing. We started him on rice cereal yesterday, i was a little reluctant to do so until he started being hungry all day long and went through almost a whole can of powder formula mix in one day. i had to make the desicion.
troy fixed the clutch in the Chevy and that day the rear end went out. I have come to the cinclusion that we must always have one vehicle in our posession at all times that does not work.

Wow I Can't Believe It's Friday!

Well this week has had it challanges but overall everything worked out quite well I think.

To start yes it snowed on Monday and Wednesday, Toby has been sick all week long and now I have the bug. Toby rolled over for the first time this week and i can't for the life of me get it on video. Every time I have the camera in my hand toby stops and just stares at me with this expression of what are you doing with that thing.



I sold the Focus on Monday on Wednesday the new buyer tried to sell it back to me. Yesterday i finally got a new vehicle, I bought a 1990 Ford Bronco XLT. It runs and drives great it only has 150K miles on it and the interior is in great shape no tears in the seats and it has been a non smoking vehicle since day one. It is white with blue interior and it has 4 wheel drive so now I might not get stranded at home if it snows and i absolutley have to leave for some reason. I know that it is not that great on gas but the initial price was right. hopefully in a few month I will be able to refinance the house and get something more economic.

A Note To Aunt Emily.........

WHAT THE HECK IS UP WITH THE SNOW????




Well here it is January and we have snow on the ground for the 5th time this season. This morning I woke up to having 5 inches of snow on the ground at my house. I am beginning to wonder if Emily is sending her Minnesota weather our way. I don't think that I can recall a winter that snow had stuck around here like this. At least it has been a really long time. Maybe when we all lived on Bangor we may have had snow like this then. Well anyway with the snow I am now stranded at home and they have started the work on the road so i can't even walk up to the store.




On a lighter note I finally sold my crappy Ford Focus I can't believe it. I listed it on Craigslist at 1:30 in the afternoon on Sunday for an asking price of $1,250. By 9:00 PM I had one person come and look at it and offer me $1,000 and at least 60 calls and two appointments set for lookers for Monday morning. The first showing Monday morning was at an early 7:00 this guy offered me $1,000 cash on the spot but he needed to get a car dolly so the transaction would have to happen in a few hours from then. The next appointment was set for 9:00 I was not able to be at the house due to Troys clutch went out on his way to work so I had to get AAA and be with him. The lady looked at the car without me being at the house and called me with an offer of $1,150. Well needless to say the biding had begun. I was on the phone back and forth between both parties and the price just kept going up. i ended up selling it for an astonishing $1,300 and it was out of my yard by 11:00 AM. Wow less than 24 hours i can't believe it.

This weekend I am going to look for a car that Will work better for Toby and myself. I am very interested in a full size Bronco in Port Orchard it looks to be pretty clean and well cared for. I guess we will see.
