Been a long time!

So it has been quite a while since I wrote on my blog!

Friends are everything!

New Car

So Peg and I got a new car! 1st one ever...a Kia Rio 5 EX Sport. 5 Spd...kinda looks like a Volkswagon Golf. It gets 50 MPG on the highway.

Willys Gone Wild!

So what do you get when you have a real desire to have your own Willys Wrecking Yard...you get to own three of your all time favorite Willys Jeep Trucks. Yup that's right I bought 2 more old Willys for $600.00, what a steal of a deal. I now have a 51, 54, and a 56. None of them run yet. I am restoring the 54 first..it is coming along very well. So far so good with Peggy. She is happy for me having fun with my hobby. I even bought a few diecast Willys Jeep trucks and wagons off ebay!

So it's Christmas!

Well it is here...Christmas Eve and the excitement begins. Everyone but Kyle is home for the holidays. Well kinda. I am so looking forward to being together, and to see and hear the excitement in Sterlings face and voice. He is gonna love it as well as London. Piper will too, but she is still a little young.

Merry Christmas to all!!

Homecoming

Wow...Kate is coming home tommorrow from Peru. She is sick and is coming home on a medical release from her mission. This is good that she will get some better medical attention than what is available in Peru. We will pick her up Wednesday night in Calgary. December 15th update...Kate has been in the hospital 13 days as of today, and no diagnosis yet! Wow we are anxcious to see what is going on. She is doing better, but we need to determine the cause of her illness.

Why can't people learn to drive?

On the average driving day coming to work from Cardston to Lethbridge and return there are at least 3 or 4 driving incidents that frustrate me to no end. Why are people allowed to even drive when they drive the way they do. There is one lady that tailgates me quite often in her Volkswagon Jetta, she is an older lady and heaven forbid if she gets behind ya, she just sits right on your bumper. One day I think I made her crap her pants tho, cause I slammed on my brakes. Had she hit me I would have said a coyote ran out in front of me and I had to brake. But instead she slammed on her brakes and had this scared look on her face like she was gonna hit something. I watched all this in my rear view mirror as she was so close. That seemed to work for the rest of the trip to Cardston...but a week later there she was again.

Then there are the guys that have to pass to get ahead of you just to arrive at the Cardston highway corner at the same time you arrive, or the guy that passes you just to turn off 1000 feet ahead...so like why can't they wait 4 seconds to turn?

Then there are the idiot drivers that pass you on double solid lines when there are oncoming cars and you have to slam on your brakes so they can get back in front of you, or the guy who passes and the oncoming car has to move onto the shoulder so he does not get hit.

Oh and how about the guy who passes you and then slows down so that you have to pass them again to maintain the speed limit.

There are so many bad drivers on the road, and the only time you see the cops are when it is their break time sitting at coffee and donut shops.

Projectionist and Werewolves

So as a result of volunteering so much at the theatre in Cardston, I got asked to be a projectionist at the theatre and work there showing movies. So I took the job and have been doing the job for a number of months now...since July I think. So anyway I get to see lots of movies, some I like and others I don't.

So what is the big craze over New Moon anyway? I don't get why all the moms and teenage girls are all so crazy over this movie??? Vampires and werewolves...Hmmm! Should I be howling at the screen too?
