Dang, I have been busy as hell this past week. Took me about 4 days before I could even get to our own checkbooks. =( But I did get them done and FINALLY got caught up on all my messages. Lets see how long that lasts.
This was my 1st week of meeting my trainer 3 times a week. We have been good on going to the gym. We go M-F, workout hard on MWF and on T & TH just go in to stay in the habit and do some light work. I may have to change that light work out…..gggrr….I’m not seeing any difference and it is driving me nuts. I just want to see a result…a dent…something. Harold and the trainer say that they see a difference but the scale doesn’t and I can’t see it. So I tried on a pair of pants that I was able to wear just over a year ago, still can’t fit, but now I have something where I can actually tell.
Luckily we brought a new jeep last month, because the truck was squeaking a lot in the front end. I was thinking it was the shocks, suspension or CB boot since my rims were black before I got it washed. So the truck sat for a couple of weeks, before we got time to get it in. Found out is was the ball joints and tire rod ends, which meant that it needed an alignment once all that was fixed….of course when they drove it they noticed that it was driving rougher then it should. It ended having the fuel injection cleaned out. I know most of this is because it hit 100k, but doesn’t make it any easier. But speaking to the mechanic, said there is no reason why my engine shouldn’t last another 150k. =)
Of course, I had to take a picture of it when it turned……..lol
It is nice to have my truck back and being able to drive it. I enjoy the jeep, the power steering is much easier then the truck’s, makes tighter turns, but I really missed driving my truck and it is running so much better. Having all my things where I want them, my own space. And I really am a truck girl…..I love driving other cars and suvs…..LOVE a powerful sports car…..I have an addiction to them, but I always feel like I am home when I’m in my truck.
I really enjoyed doing my errands today, because it was a stunning day out and I had my truck back. I used the jeep later for tanning, just because I was afraid of losing my parking. =( We have a one drive way space and then it is where ever you can get parking on the street/alleyway. And I like where I have the truck. I don’t feel like it is going to get hit….it is bad enough that it has scratches….so I couldn’t handle a hit.
This is one of the views we get while doing errands….nothing like seeing that among all the traffic and lights.
Like I said, it was a stunning day..almost hit 60. I didn’t expect that because last I heard we are suppose to get rain for easter Sunday…. and it has been raining a lot. When it is that nice out, I get really antsy, I hate staying inside…..so I had to go for a walk, even if it was brief (Purdue was playing today). And I really wanted to capture some of the spring time.
These are in our back yard, I just love the color.
Now this is spring. =)
These are the trees that gave such brilliant color in the fall. It is great to see that they start out as stunning.
Kind of like pink snow…….lol
