No Luck.....

I never made it to King Richard's Faire. It rained AGAIN yesterday. I did not know it would rain. Ugh! I have two weekends left to try to get there. I am determined!

Friday night was fun. I went to dinner with the women from bookclub. They are a riot. We ate, drank wine, talked politics, men, and just random topics. It was great to laugh like that.

Saturday was a slow day. I fed the horses, ran errands, walked the dogs with Mom and then went home to exercise and do laundry. My guy was working, but when he got home, we headed out for Mexican for dinner. We had not had Mexican in awhile (not something I would eat often...not the healthiest). It was yummy though, as always.

I was utterly disappointed to get up Sunday morning to find it raining. My guy was doing a quick job in the morning, so I watched some tv, exercised and showered. He had to deliver a load of mulch to a customer, so we headed out to take care of that job. Having nothing better to do until later in the afternoon, we decided to go look at cars for me. I still wanted to see the inside of a Nissan Rogue and Toyota Rav4. We did not have much luck. The idiots at the Nissan dealer were too afraid they might melt in the rain to come out and talk to us. We then drove into the Toyota dealership to check out the Rav4's. As we had done at the 3 other dealerships we went to, my Guy drove his truck around the lot to the cars in question. A salesman followed us out there, and rather than asking what he could do to help us, he blew any possible sale. "That's an awfully big truck you are driving around these new cars. The owners are here and they do not like people to drive around the lot, you could hit something. Could you move your truck to the other parking lot and walk?" In the rain...doubt it! If he couldn't handle such a large truck, he would not own one. He could have driven a tractor trailer around that lot and not hit something. My guy was pissed, so we left. Morons! I did not believe I would ever buy from that dealership anyway, as I had heard very negative things about them in the past, but now it's clinched.

Figuring we might as well get something done while we were out, I asked that we stop at a nearby pet store to get the new food for the pup that the vet recommended. They only had it in 50lbs bags! That would last me months with my wee girl, so no luck there. Oh well, back to the drawing board!

Nothing too new and exctiting

Well, finally the new computer is set up and ready to go. I did have a big of a panic to start off, since the idiots that put it together neglected to connect the hard drive to the power supply, but thanks for a kind and patient tech, we figured it out and all is well.

It is cold outside!!! Mom went to turn the heat on this morning, and the oil burner would not come one. Pretending I could help, I wandered downstairs, flicked some breakers, hit some buttons...nothing. For a last ditch effort, I whacked the motor 3 times and WALLA! It came on. I turned to Mom, "that will be $100." Needless to say, no money for me. I did get a tuna sandwich though. :)

So time to clean the house and maybe go food shopping. Tomorrow King Richard's Faire is on the schedule (hopefully). I can't wait!!

I did find a cd with some pics I thought I did not have anymore.
