bored

today i'm bored.
there is plenty to do, but for some reason i have little to no focus or ambition.
i want to do something, but nothing that is here for me to do.

yesterday we took a trip to just get out of the house and walk around the mall.
window shop.
on our way the truck started making a HORRIBLE noise... sort of like a flat tire.

but, it got way worse.
we stopped.
it was our brakes.

we went in to Lowe's and looked around.
got back in the truck to go to the mall.
noise is worse.
brakes seized.
tires locked up.

we are in traffic.
Bryan gives it gas.
something breaks free.
we go.

we have to stop again.
holy shit.
we stop.
we can't get going again.
almost get rear ended.

we move.
HORRIBLE noise again.
we are thinking the worse.
big $$$$$$.
possible tow.

Bryan calls his brother.
he comes.
they try to find parts.
the calliper is ripped off.
bolt broken.

auto stores say no good.
discontinued part.

new truck?
i wish.

not today.
they go to Lowe's.
found the right bolt.

go to Sears.
get the right wrench.

problem solved.
truck is good.

yay!

thank God my BIL and my dad and brothers know how to fix stuff because other wise it would have been a LOT of money for us to have the truck towed and then fixed. ugh. it ended up costing us about $50 total. not too shabby. we were thinking a LOT more than that.

what to do, what to do...

What to do?? My plans failed... we are home. Bryan just got home from work a little while ago, and he didn't feel like shopping... plus we have a birthday gathering to attend, again this evening. We went to Rich & Denise's house last night for a party for Bryan's grandmother ~ Gertie, and now tonight we are going back for a surprise birthday bash for Denise. So if we did go shopping, we would have limited time... so we are just hanging out at home, and we will go over there later... I think around 6:30 PM or so... and then home again home again jigity jig.

I think we might be getting some company later. Company ~ meaning Heather, Chris, Jillian, Jerry, maybe even Ryan and Des and possibly Kevin & Jill... but I'm not sure... I think we are just going to hang out and maybe play a game or two or something... since our last game night got totally screwed by some immature little biatch and his little slut. lol I crack myself up!! ;o)

Anyway... I'm bored and do NOT feel like doing any house work... although I need to get my booty in motion and do something around here... so I'm lamely wasting time blogging... and in turn boring all of you.

So for your torture... I'm going to repay you with some photos... always fun... rarely boring. ;o)
