Finally...

Let's see, I believe it was after 4 on Friday when we were FINALLY told we could come pick up the truck. They replaced all the hoses, the fuel filter and the engine air filter! So far (knock on lotsa wood) it is running fine and no check engine light. I pray that it stays that way, especially since we will be making a trip to Indiana soon.
The high school had their homecoming football game Friday night and got beat by one lousy point. The dance was last night, I will try to get pictures posted tomorrow, if the girls will put the rest of them on my computer. They looked gorgeous by the way ;)
We finished buying the paint for the house, plus new locks for the doors today. So now I have to start trying to pack everything that we need to take with us. The only thing we still need are curtains for the living room (the ones I really want are out of stock, so I am waiting), we also need curtains for Meg's room, but we will probably get those next summer when she is home to stay. We are still waiting to see if Chels decides to come back with us or not...which is a very difficult thing.
That's our update for now, I am going to finish up some laundry and enjoy the rest of the night and have a great day tomorrow with Todd, since he has a 3 day weekend!! Oh, and YAY the Colt's kicked the ravens butts today!!!!!!!! :)

The Equisnot Saga...

Well the saga continues...we couldn't pick the truck up yesterday because they had to order the parts from Lansing, MI. So the 3 hoses were sent over night and they received them this morning. So around noon Todd called to see how things were going and they were actually on the phone at that time with the people in Lansing, because one of the freakin hoses in the package was too darn short!!! So they will be sending the correct hose (hopefully) overnight and it should be there in the morning. Of course at this point I will believe it when I see that the damn thing is actually finished and we can drive it and the freakin check engine light doesn't come on yet again!!! Todd and I both have medical appointments tomorrow, and of course mine is to have my blood pressure checked, this should be fun, NOT :) Anyway I'll update again tomorrow. Hope everyone has a good night.

bad day

Well today was a sucky day. We ended up at our Chevy dealer for the 3rd time in 3 1/2 weeks with the check engine light on for the 3rd time. Needless to say it is still there and is supposed to be finished in the morning. First time they replaced the purge solenoid, second time they replaced the fuel tank vent pipe, now it's having 3 vacuum hoses replaced because they were open on one end when they made them so at least one spider got up into them and built nests and that restricted air flow...they are supposed to show us the parts tomorrow when we pick it up. Of course we did find a bulletin that said GM had to make a new part so that spiders couldn't crawl up in there and make nests. So HOPEFULLY this will end our problems with our Equinox for now. Of course we noticed some other discrepancies on our paperwork from them over the past several months. So Todd complained to the service manager about some of them yesterday. Well today the light came on, so when we got in there, I had my say with the service manager!! Boy was it fun to go off on them, in a decent way (no swear words, I was a good girl). Poor Todd hardly got so say anything cause I was ticked and boy was I on a roll. So needless to say after the day we had I didn't even think about setting anything up on here. So right now I am working on trying to find a good way to relax/deal with stress because all the stress is starting to do bad things to me. So off I go to listen to some music and turn off the freakin debate that is on my TV, now that is stressful!!!! Hope everyone had a better day than we did.

hmmm....

I really haven't done a very good job of keeping up with anything lately. There's a lot going on around here and a lot going through my mind on any given day. Some of it is good, some not so good. A lot of the blogs I read have certain days for posting about different topics, I may try to come up with some kind of schedule like that so maybe I can actually post here more often :) Since I logged in tonight and realized the last time I posted was August, I actually managed to miss the whole month of September, now that is talented or something like that. Not even sure I can remember a lot of September, but here are some highlights....Dawnee turned 21, I had my yearly female exam and everything is back to normal (thank God), Todd had another MRI for his back problems (follow up appt. on Nov. 17, yes that damn long), Todd also had a tumor of sorts removed from his upper left arm, and apparently we need to call them back to see what pathology said since they haven't called (big surprise), Hannah turned 6, my favorite Uncle turned 74, we picked out paint colors and some border to put in our house to make it look more like us and we planned a trip home for our 20th anniversary in October. I probably left some things out, but hey as Todd would say, I have slept several times since then!! Tomorrow I will let you know if I have figured out a "schedule" for posting on here, and update you on October's craziness. Ohhh and Happy Fall!!!!
