A couple weeks ago I was almost all the way to Lily’s school when I realized that she had after school tutoring and I would be over an hour early picking her up. I have done this a few more times than I like to admit but that is not the point of this story. [...]
My very good friend Angela flew in from Washington D.C. today. She had told me before that she checked her bag so when I headed to the airport I was in the truck. I got about 1/2 way there and realized I was about to run out of gas. I told Lily we needed to [...]
It seems as though my love affair with the City of San Antonio is not quite over yet. Remember back on 2/15 when I told you about the speeding ticket that I mailed in but they sent back to me? Well… I thought I was done with that. But today when I checked my mail [...]
I have told you before that we named my car MSW, do you remember what it stands for? Today I have a prime example of why maybe getting this car was not my best choice as far as practicality goes. When I got out of work today it was warm and sunny so I put the [...]
…. IT DOESN’T EXIST!! After work today I had to go home and grab something then I headed to the DMV. I knew the place closed at 5:00 but I figured I could just drop in do my business and be out. I was wrong. Here is a picture of the outside of the building. [...]
I didn’t really do a lot of anything today other than wake up, go to work, work, come home, go to the gym for less than an hour and then update this site. I didn’t think I took a picture of anything so I had no idea what to post. But when I looked at [...]
After work today I got pulled over for the 2nd time in less than a month. A few weeks ago San Antonio Police Department gave me a ticket for going 60 in a 45 after exiting the highway. This time Bexar County gave me a ticket for an expired window sticker thing (which we have [...]
I love looking out the window at Amanda’s house. If you look out either the front or the back you see the same thing… mountains! Here is the view from her kitchen window in the front of the house. Amanda asked me a couple weeks ago what I wanted to do when I was there. [...]
We woke up and checked out of The Drake Hotel this morning. Here is a picture of the beach on Lake Michigan as seen from our room. Do you see the people? It was like 30º outside! Buurrrrr! Here I am in the shopping part of the hotel. It was about a 1.5 hour drive north [...]
I hate my morning commute. If I work the schedule that I want (8:00-4:30) it takes me at least 55 minutes both ways to drive about 20 miles to work. I recently changed my schedule to go in almost an hour earlier in an effort to avoid traffic and now it takes me about 35 minutes in the morning [...]
Today at lunch I gave MSW its first shower! This is seriously impressive considering the high temperature today was close to if not over 100°.
I have never denied that my car has pretty much no room for much else but the drive and the passenger. Today I totally impressed myself by hauling something I didn’t think was possible. I went to Uhaul and told the guy behind the counter that I needed some moving boxes and packing paper. I [...]
I have had my car for a few weeks now and I love it. Sure there isn’t really any trunk room and I can only have one passenger at a time but I still love it! Its been pretty wet around here over the last week or so. No major rains just scattered showers and [...]
We bought a new to us car today! We have been looking and looking and today was the day! What kind of car do you think I got? Here are a few clues: This is me and the front quarter panel. Don’t let the Mazda sign in the background fool you.. it is a trick. [...]
Today JP and me went car hunting after work. We went to every car dealer in San Antonio; Ford, Chevy, Mazda, VW, Nissan, Chrylser, Isuzu … and everything in between. We learned a lot. A lot about what is out there and what options are available and for how much. Not only did I get in touch [...]
… how many people can you fit in the trunk of a Grand Marquis? For now, only two!
We are just now leaving Padre Island. This is by far the warmest temperature we have seen all year! The truck was parked on the shade when we took it!
Just like me Lily likes to ask questions, lots of questions. She knows when you drive a stick shift you move it from the one to the two and so on. This week we are driving a rental car. She looked at the shifter and asked why I didn’t have to move it as often [...]
So many thing I could say right now. It was so innocent at first. One thing on my mind… BREAKFAST TACOS! Nothing would make up for the fact that I crashed JP’s porsche today… nothing. I am not even sure that he believes me yet. Poor JP. I seriously thought I was going to die [...]
When I was calling/texting around this morning for yesterday’s picture of the day Vanessa sent me these. They were taken today! Vanessa & Chris are the proud new owners of a mini-van since the baby on the way won’t fit in their Ford Escape. Here are my Michigan girls! Sofia, Isabel & Vanessa!
As a surprise for JP we went to the oil change place with his truck today. This was Lily’s first time hearing about oil and seeing them drain oil out of a truck … she was quite impressed. They even pretended to let her help install the new air filter. Ta-Da!
