How It Went and other Such Nonsense.....

 Well,  yesterday didnt go quite as planned. Took Maggie to her surgery and although she drives much better- the rattling issue is still there. Mechanic said he didnt have time to complete that part of the problem and explained what was needed to fix it. I'll have to to reschedule another surgery to finish up. That's fine- I'll do whatever it takes to fix her issues. I need another mental health day anyway tbh.

She's a GREAT little car. So spending a couple hundred dollars to fix her isn't too much to ask. 

After I finish getting her stable, I can do some weekend work on my Ford Ranger. Me any my son are going to take that on as a project and really do it up right. 

Now Maggie is a brilliant Marine Blue color at present, and The Ranger is an Emerald or Forest green, but I'm thinking seriously about having Maggie repainted a beautiful Deep Candy Apple or Christmas Red. Her interior is all charcoal and black, so it would be relatively easy to change her to red. I'm not so sure about painting the Ranger red- it's green now and even the interior dash and door panels and such are green, so it may stay that color. You sure would be able to pick my house out around the holidays....or anytime to be honest!!! Right???

I know both are in dire need of some TLC- the Ranger much more than Maggie. 

Hey, but back to yesterday- Me and my sister rode to Hartwell to look at a piece of property she's been eyeing for a few weeks. I think it would be perfect for her. (And me as my second home). LOL.... Since I've moved back home she's looked out for me like she's my second mom- and to be honest, SHE got the ball rolling so I was able to come back home(along with my Baby Brother). I have the best siblings in the history of siblings!!!

Anyway, on the way home- we spotted a DAIRY QUEEN!!!!! I don't know of but one other one in the entire area. They are a blast from the past. I thought they were all but extinct by now- but apparently not!!!!! And  they have REALLY good fast(ish) food!!! O. M. Gosh!!!!

We stopped there for lunch and I got a 4 piece Chicken Strips Basket with fries and a MOCHA MOO-Latte!!!!

I hadn't had one of those in about 15 years and when I say I was in HEAVEN- you better believe it!!

My waistline is prob mad at me- but it can just Suck it UP(or IN in this case) for one day.

Is anyone Celebrating Lent? I'm considering it even tho I'm not of the Catholic religion.  I'm spiritual, and try lots of practices of different faiths sometimes just because I think it's interesting to learn about those type things. But is it realistic to think I can do it?-  because next Wednesday is my Birthday!!!  I'm not sure I have that kind of discipline on my Birthday or Christmas either ...unless it's a matter of life or death.

Anyway.... I reckon that's it for todays blathering. LOL..

See y'all next time!!!

No Dairy Queen near you? Geez, there's three just in my city, not including the metro area.
