Back Home

I am so happy to be back into my home and back into my bed. I found it crazy that I froze up there and now freezing here. Sucks so bad.

Well, let me see if I can do a wrap up of my trip…..

I had a flat while still in Texas and was so pissed almost turned back around. I had to get a new tire again. I just got them changed recently. This cost me $95. A dayum shame. I was told that my service covers coming out to change the flat but not following them back to the shop to buy a new tire and replacing on a Saturday so early. Some bull. I tried to change the dayum thing by myself. The bolts were to tight. I had the car jacked up and the spear out. The tire cover was even off. If I could have changed the tire myself I would have drove to the nearest Walmart for a new one. The bolts were to tight. While doing all of this I messed up the locking mechanism of my truck and it would not catch. The dayum tire guy could not even get it to work. So I had to tie it down with whatever I had in my trunk and stopped a few times to re-tie that all the way up to Ohio. To add to that, I print out different instructions for my drive up to Ohio. I got lost. Think goodness I have Streets and Trips on my laptop. I got in a few hours later due to my tire and directions. I am needing a GPS system for my car.

Okay, I get to Ohio and the first night its 8 degrees. I needed a new coat bad. I got my daughter one but we were unable to find me one. Looks like everyone was needing a coat. I did my shopping for Christmas and became my mom slave. She still do not understand that it is cold and that  drove a day to get there. She all of the sudden had to go to so many places. I even almost had to hit a lady in the face at the butcher’s. My mom is getting old to. She complained about everything. It was non-stop. I finally blow up at her when she kept telling everyone that she did not get any Christmas gifts from her kids. It was not even Christmas yet. She talking bad about all of us with the speaker phone on. I had to tell her and her friend something about themselves. She ended up with gifts from all of us on CHRISTMAS. She just could not wait until Christmas.

I did have some fun. I went out with some of my cousins. I had a lot of fun. I got to talk to an old high school friend. I had a little crush on him in high school. I caught a movie which was pretty good. Went ice skating and ate so much I gained happy pounds.  Spent to much money but loved it. It was cold as the arctic but I had fun. I did also hear from the hockey player, he did not get to go home and he is not sure if he is able to stay in the states. He will be going in January. He check up on me for the drive home. I know the jury is still out on that one.

The drive back was great. No problems and I did not feel like my body was shaking. I had my bumper fixed but not my trunk. I am just thankful my uncle was able to re-attach it. I have been exhausted since I have been back. I have washed clothes, un-packed, and trying to talk myself into cleaning my desk. Tomorrow I was hanging out with a friend of mine and I do not have to drive. No New Year’s resolutions this year. The never pan out. I will just live!
