driving in texas in a small car is a scary thing - there are big, menacing suvs and huge trucks all around. i look at the truck ahead of me and notice that the trailer hitch on it is just the right size to skim my hood into my windshield should we connect. yikes!
speaking of my car, the poor thing is doing better now. it got an oil change this morning and is waiting on new brake rotors, an axle boot, and an air filter. the repair shop is replacing the brake rotors free of charge - they're already warped, and i just had them replaced last august!! (i've been complaining about the vibration for about 6 months now - i had my car for two years without a problem, i don't know why all of a sudden it's going through brake rotors on a yearly basis...) you know i'm in there too much. they know me by my first name and today, when i was getting ready to pay for the oil change part of my repair, they were like, "you can just take care of it when you bring your car back in." talk about trust. :) not something you see in a big city, that's for sure!
yesterday was lovely. i would have gladly continued that time on the massage table.
going to the mall is not a good idea for me. :) i went for a pair of black sandals and emerged with a pair of black sandals (at least i got what i came for), a pair of black clogs, a pair of brown shoes (so payless was having a sale, ;) not like i spent a trillion dollars). also got birthday cards (the boyfriend's birthday was yesterday, dad's is on the 8th, plus other random friends and family coming up...) and some jewelry. i have a love for unusual jewelry. have i mentioned this? i found a pink rhinestone-flowered bracelet that matched the necklace (very retro) i bought a few weeks ago - which can be seen in the picture i posted a link to a few days ago - and a jade piece. it's a carved medallion probably about 2" across. it's currently a mottled amber color, but it will turn color with age. more detail than you wanted, i'm sure.
i'm ready for the weekend. saturday is a hammered dulcimer workshop - all christmas music - in houston. sunday? who knows. church and...maybe swing dancing. depends on the hurricane status since it's supposed to rain.
back to work. mbo goes out tomorrow and i've 5 more websites patiently awaiting a redesign. it's like having kiddos, i swear - always something... :)
