ahh man

Yesterday after work, I had to drive home.

I drove home and realized, the snow was beginning to melt again.
When snow melts and combines with dirt it creates mud.

When I drove through the mud, my new tires flung the mud all over my truck.

My truck is no longer clean and sparkle-y.
For some reason this made me mad beyond reason yesterday.

I got home and assessed the damage.... oh my truck was dirty all right.
There is mud everywhere.
Well, I guess you gotta love those dirt roads.

Well not really, I have a love hate relationship with them.
I love to hate them really.

Whoa.

What a weekend.
Oh, is it possible to have a crush on the tire shop? They gave me a great deal, and allowed me to trade my old tires for credit towards my new ones.

I had fun seeing everyone, and just hanging out. I didn't have to do anything if I didn't want to. It was so nice.
I didn't want to leave, for several reasons. The main one being, I had to leave my dog. I'm not going to elaborate on that, but I do plan on bringing him back next time I'm home.

Anyways, I went shopping with my Mom and two older sisters. It was fun, I spent money and that was fun too. I hadn't been shopping in a long long time. And grocery shopping doesn't count.

While I was gone, we got snow, lots of snow. Okay not tons, but 6 to 8 inches. It's supposed to get really cold this week, back down to single digits, and I was just getting used to the nice weather. I even washed my truck. You should see it, it's so pretty and clean and sparkle-y.
Sparkle-y? well it is my blog.

Other then that, not too much is new in my life or at home. Back to the same ol same ol.
My Laundry heap actually looked happy to see me come home.
Tonight however, I'm going to watch my new movie. I got it for Christmas from my parents.
It's Sex and the City the Movie.
I know I'm way late seeing it, but I live in the country on gnarly dirt roads. So I have a totally reasonable excuse. Right?

What is that saying?

If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all....
Or something along those lines.
I now truly believe in that saying.
And I realize, I'm kind of a "Debbie Downer"

Why? Well Ask me about my flat tire. Again!

Yep I had one, yesterday. And no, it wasn't the same tire.

This second flat tire has also brought to my attention that I can no longer "get by" with the tires I have. Why? For several reasons.
1. I live in the country
2. I live on gnarly dirt roads. They are so gnarly they make weak tires cry
3. They have been peed on one to many times. Yes I said peed.
4. 10 ply ride smoother. (Okay so that is a MAJOR lie)


OH, wait. I have a thought right now. You know the breast cancer awareness, everything pink. What if they made a pink tire, and like all the money, or a good chunk of it went to the breast cancer fund?? I would totally by them. (I don't know where these thoughts come from, but sometimes I amaze even myself!) (Don't worry I know you are all laughing at me, or hiding your face in shame, either or I'm okay with it)

Remember when I said I wanted to save my money and by some big things this year?
Well I have now updated that list. And not in a good way.

The new list includes:
New Tires (Why is used rubber so expensive?)
Grill Guard ( for SOB Deer)

All the other things I hopefully wanted have fallen and disappeared.
It's so sad.

On another note. I'm back in the valley for a visit or two.
I'll be sure to report my happenings and of course any other flats I may acquire.

On another note x 2 there were another set of twins born last night in the cow barn.
I wasn't there, but I'm confident that Ryan can handle it with out me. (well for at least a while)
