at long last.
the AC in my car is fixed.
after replacing the compressor and finding out that wasn’t the problem, we took it over to the diagnostic place to see what the hell was causing the AC malfunction.
you know what it was? it had TOO much freon. apparently volvo’s have some sort of sensor if there is too much freon, it automatically turns itself off as to not blow a fuse or create further...

the bachelorette recap, week six
why can’t they fix her hair? a text from my sister sent last night summed it up nicely: ‘i will kill her just so i don’t have to look at the wasp’s nest of her hair’
it looks terrible. every single day of her life.
and justin’s girlfriends’ hair looked like snookie from jersey shore styled it for her.
what was with...

mice.
see this little fella?
it’s a little bitty mouse. a baby. with a black heart marking on its butt.
and no, the mouse in my house did not have babies.
while helping mom move her house this weekend, my brother showed us the mom/baby mice that he’s raising to feed his snakes. yes. snakes.
we just couldn’t help but fawn over them and how darn cute they were, and rhyan talked me...

bachelorette watchers
… those of you who watched tonight’s episode:
do they show you spoilers for the next shows at the end? on the ‘coming up on this season of the bachelorette’ part?! previews of the hometown dates and then the top three?!
my sister watched it before me, and said they tell who is top four and top three!
if so, i can’t believe ABC would give away all the details...

twohippiechic asked: Just wanted to let you know that my thoughts are with you and your family. I hope your sister finds peace. My sister-in-law had a miscarriage last summer, just a week after she let everyone know she was pregnant. It was a horrible time for her and my family but she (thankfully) got pregnant again, and is due with a girl in November. I always try and find the positive side of things, so...

These are my footprints, so perfect and so small. These tiny footprints never touched the ground at all. Not one tiny footprint, for now I have wings. These tiny footprints were meant for other things. You will hear my tiny footprints, in the patter of the rain. Gentle drops like angel’s tears, of joy and not from pain. You will see my tiny footprints, in each butterflies’...

hurry up, weekend.
yes, you heard right.
talk about the weekend from hell. not literally, well. maybe.
it’s a long story, but basically, my mom moved from the newer house my parents built before their divorce, to the old one we grew up in. same property, out on our 60 acres of land in efland, nc.
we had to move all the stuff from the new to the old, plus pack her up in a uhaul because she’s moving to...

i can't
get into the whole world cup spirit everyone seems to be in.
maybe because i don’t understand it.
maybe because it’s foreign to me, i’ve never ever watched soccer.
maybe it’s because i don’t have time to sit and watch/follow/dvr at odd hours of the day.
i just don’t get it. i’m all for team spirit [go usa!] but as far as watching, cheering, making...
