My 1st project of the day was to get the Oregon tags for our truck. It went much easier then I thought it would. Unfortunately, Oregon is a 2 tag state. =( I had to remove our Purdue tag from front. We needed a new one anyway, it was a 2001 Rose Bowl one, but it was our Purdue. So that was the sucky part about it.
Harold talked to a friend the other day and found out in some areas you are required to have chains in your vehicle. Of course, I hadn’t had things like that since I was living outside of the Chicago area with all that lake effect snow. So I saw a Napa Parts store and stopped to get some info. They carry our size and you get them in sets of 2. And I asked if this area required them and they said yes, so when I get back from Indiana I’ll have to see about getting them and teaching myself how to get them on again……doh It has been a long while.
Called State Department to find out the status of my birth certificate and that was completely useless. I called about 2pm their time and no one answered. I let it ring for over 5 minutes! What a bunch of morons……….gggrrrrr
I took the truck for an oil change the other day. Ended up with a little more work then planned. But since I don’t remember the last time we had the radiator fluid flushed out since it was watery looking and with much colder weather coming, it was the best thing to do.
I got all of my cards mailed off today. I had to bag them up to carry them……….lol
I had to pick up some cat food and wandered around for a little bit looking at the xmas stuff. It is my favorite time of year, but I’m of 2 minds this year. I really want to get into the spirit of it and just enjoy myself. I have so many happy memories of it. But I really don’t have an outlet for having the holiday spirit. When I visit my family I’ll have it. I want to start listening to my xmas music, but won’t until the 1st………starting it too early ruins it and keeps it from being special. I don’t know what my mind is thinking…..it just keeps going round and round.
When I got home from my errands I got quite a bit of online work that I was putting off. So far I’m caught up. Some how I need to get the motivation to finish up a few receipts that I have left to put into quickbooks. Just want to get it done before I leave for my trip.
It has been cold and rainy, sometimes the sunny peeks out. I’m really waiting for it to snow some……..you can almost smell it in the air. I want to go walking around the neighborhood at night to see the xmas lights I saw folks putting up the Friday after Thanksgiving, but I want it see it in the snow. For the last 3 holidays, there wasn’t a chance of seeing that in Florida so I would love to see it here………even though you almost never saw it in Indiana. It was just very, very cold and windy for the holiday. =)
