Boston!

While the hubs was running his heart out at the Boston marathon, I was waiting for my car window to get fixed. I drove Danny and Marc to the Highland village for a little shopping. We rolled the windows down because the weather was so beautiful, but unfortunately the back seat passenger window wouldn't roll back up! It turned out to be a broken regulator and was fixed this morning but set me back $300. Good thing I didn't buy anything yesterday!

One thing I am starting to realize about myself is that I am a creature of routine. I imagine the way I want my day to go and go from there. When something comes along to interrupt my routine (i.e. car in shop for all of the morning) then it's hard for me to do what I missed (well, I did do the groceries because we literally have no food in the house, but I missed morning yoga, and couldn't motivate myself to go this evening). At least I got a little scrappin' done and cleaned the house for Mom K's arrival this evening.

The weather around here has been almost perfect (almost because it's starting to warm up again today). We spent yesterday at Kirt and Mike's pool instead of the museum because it was just too beautiful to be inside!

It was only the battery

I called BMW roadside assistance to bring the car to the dealer. The driver thought it was just the battery so when he checked it, he discovered that the connections were loose. So he tightened them up and she's running again. Woo hoo. That was much easier than I expected. Now I won't be late for work (not that I minded) and I can at least go to yoga tonight :).

Nothing to do but scrap.

I was all ready to go to yoga this morning when...the beemer wouldn't start. Ugh! I called my friend Joe W. to help me. He thought it was either the battery or the alternator. When he came over, we tried to jump start it, but the engine wouldn't turn over. So we think it's the alternator. Which means I have to call the wrecker (luckily is free with my extended warranty) and take it in to the shop tomorrow morning.

I don't mind not being able to go anywhere. Now I have an excuse not to go the the grocery store! Of course, living on cereal and cherries is probably not the most nutritious thing...

So I have been on a scrapping roll. I have completed 5 1 page layouts and a 2 page spread. I have really been jonesin to scrap so call me a Scrappy Camper!
