This morning I went out to start the car before work and to my surprise I could not turn the key! I tried several times growing more and more frantic. Why isn't it working? I'm going to be late! were thoughts that kept going around in my head. I decided to call Dustin and thankfully he was close enough to come and try helping. Nothing worked. I had to call out of work.(A big deal to me, even if it is snowy and the perfect day to stay home.)
I did some research on-line and come to find out this is a very common problem in my car(Ford Focus).A couple of sites I checked suggested tapping the key while in the ignition with a hammer. I couldn't believe this would work but Dustin was brave enough to try it. After about 20 taps the key turned and the car started. After calling around it seems as though this problem can only be fixed at a dealership. So at the dealership is where my car will rest until it can be fixed. Hopefully by tomorrow morning.
Thanks for the ride home!
It could end up being a costly repair but I am thankful that we will be able to pay for it. And I am thankful for a day to stay in and sew. A few snowflakes are falling and it's cold outside so I am thankful that I can be home.
I guess that's all for now. I hope you all have a wonderful car-free day! |

It's been a while since I've been on here. I made a surprise trip up to RI on the 11th. I needed to see my nephew who I was sure was going to be born and my best friend's son. It was great. I will post pictures when I get them on cd.
I came home on the 18th and realized that Thanksgiving was 9 days away. All of the sudden i started feeling really emotional about not spending the day with my family. This is year number three of me going somewhere else and me not cooking. I thought that things are supposed to get easier with the passing of time but they don't. I miss my family so much right now.
When I was 13 I started I started making thanksgiving dinner. Except the turkey, my Mom always did that part. For weeks ahead of time me and Dorothy,Rosemary and Thomas would start to make a list of what we wanted to eat and find all of our recipes. On Tuesday night we would go shopping. One time we went shopping at a store where people had gotten mugged outside of it and we were so anxious to get to the car that we were running with the shopping cart and it almost tipped over. We always bought too much food and had WAY too many desserts on our menu.
On Wednesday we would start to bake. Normally I would start pretty early and then little by little Dorothy, Rosemary and Thomas would join in. Rose and Tom always made chocolate peanut butter cookies and D made brownies. We would listen to the radio talk and have fun with each other. Even after I moved out I always came home on Wednesday to do the baking with everyone.
After I married things changed a little and last year Dustin and I moved and we could only come home for one holiday and I picked christmas/new years, same thing this year. We will be spending time this year with all of Dustin's family and I know it will be fun but it is also a time for adjusting for me. I always have a hard time with change.
So to my family I just want to say I love you so much! and I wish I was there with you.
Happy Thanksgiving!! |

Despite the rain Dustin and I did go camping on Friday night. It was nice. A little chilly but still nice. I forgot my camera so no pictures. As we sat around the fire talking it really got me thinking about a couple of things but I will just share one of them with you now.
It's five weeks and three days until our third anniversary. Dustin has been part of my life for almost five years this month. You would think that after all this time my family would accept him and love him. It is really sad. It breaks my heart when Dustin says "why don't they like me?".I don't know anyone who doesn't like Dustin. He is great guy who is always willing to help, he likes to do a lot of fun things, he is very supportive, he is very genuine and loyal. Most of all he married your me and has made me very happy. Why would you still not like him? I really don't know why someone wouldn't.
I know some times it's hard to blend two families and I had my share of troubles with Dustin's family but that all worked out and we all love each other now. I couldn't imagine my life without all these "new" family members.
I do pray that with the passing of time they will learn to love him. I can wait.
Thanks for reading this. : )
Have a wonderful Monday! |
