Car Trouble??

It's been so hectic around here lately that I completely forgot to blog about my new car!! Last week we purchased a 2006 Mercury Mountaineer. I absolutely love it! As a good friend put it, "welcome to 1998" because I now own a CD player!!

Anyway, we had some errands to run this evening. One thing I always enjoy about Friday evening errands is it usually involves dinner out! So tonight we ate down on the farm at Bob Evans Restaurant. I always get the chicken parm which I can never finish so we got a box for the leftovers.

On the way home my ABS light comes in the car which unfortunately this is the second time it has come on. I'm not happy about this since we have put less than 400 miles on this car and there is already a problem...so my hubby comes up with a way to "test" my car to see if the all wheel drive still works with the ABS light on. We are on a back road close to the house. He instructs me to come to a complete stop and then says to push the gas to the floor. So, I do...but not only does the gas pedal go to the floor, so does the giant box of leftover chicken parm go to the floor. All.of.it. All over my BEIGE floor carpeting and seats. I was so fuming mad! How could none of us think about this before it happened?? Not only that, but I didn't warn my children sitting in the back seat to hold on...they probably got whiplash! We did come to the conclusion that nothing is wrong with the all wheel drive. The tires didn't spin at all!!! So I had quite the mess when we got home. Thankfully it didn't stain my carpet and my seats are leather so that was easy. Whew! So that was our eventful Friday evening. Thanks for listening to me babble on!

Not Me Monday

Welcome to Not Me Monday! This week I was full of imperfections, more than normal! Ok, here goes...

I did not try to fix or completely write out some of my five-year-old daughter's valentine cards for her school classmates because I waited until the last possible moment to do them and then needed to hurry along! I especially did not "fix" her letters on the valentine card to her teacher, Mr. W, no way!

I didn't accidentally scrape my car bumper on the side of the garage door as I was backing out because I was in such a rush to leave and wasn't paying attention. And I didn't try to "clean up" the bumper with Windex and a paper towel to cover up the little scrape so my hubby would not see. No, not me!

And finally, while at the grocery store I didn't get one of those enormous car grocery carts (to please my children and keep them quiet while shopping) and then run into the Fachnaught display stand (which I shouldn't even be looking at) and knock over a huge sign. Then not knowing how to put the sign back, just left it lay there. I would never do such a thing! Nope, not me!
