Dreaming Of Summer

BBBRRRR..........
Happy new year! Merry Christmas! And all the others I missed in my "I'm to lazy to post" spree. Whew! busy year huh? And now we get to look forward to three more months of winter........AAHHGG!!!! Yah yah, I know winter just began, but really! What do you look forward to after New Years besides, well, summer! Anyway as for the distributor, I'm about $25.00 bucks away. =) And speaking of new years, I got to spend it in the best place I can think of, With my cousins! That's right, we ( me, Ruby,Isabel and Nina and Papa ) four day trip to Macon, GA. And had a GREAT time! ( though seriousy, it did NOT seem like a full four days ) But besides from that not much else has happened. Next week though, Isabel turns six! ( I can't believe it ether! )

Engine News

Halleluia! Halleluia!
I just knew tough little Herbie would make it! Just the other day me my Dad FINALLY got around to working on my engine. Poor Dad. I warned him that if he kept insulting my bug with stuff like " We shouldn't have parked it under the trees, an acorn might fall and crush him." Herbie was gonna get him back sometime. Well he got his "revenge" when dad tried to remove the spark plugs. Ouch. ( Dad still has scars on his knuckles from getting cut on the rusty engine. ) Oh well, I guess their even now. After we got the spark plugs out, we sprayed PV blaster in the cylinders, and waited 24 hours in hopes that the pistons would get loose. ( Of course, as soon as we removed the engine cover it started raining and getting cold again ) Luckily, though nothing was harmed, and the next day when tried to turn the engine, Miracle of miracles, IT WORKED!!!!!! That's Herb's engine turns by hand! ( BTW, that means I won't have to buy an expensive rebuild kit ) Now I'm working on buying a distributor. ( Say that with me, distributor ) and that's only about eighty bucks.

HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ducktales, wooooo....!

OK, OK, I know this is the post you least wanted to read. But it's only fair that if I'm going to wright about the interests of the rest of us, I should wright about Isabel's. We started watching Ducktales because, well, honestly at that point we had watched so much of " A Pup Named Scooby - Doo (fus)" I was about to start banging my head against the wall to rid myself of it. After trying and failing several times to find a another little kid show that was bearable yet still entertaining to Isabel, Dad finally had the brilliant idea to put on one hs favorite shows from the 80's. Thank the Lord, Isabel loved it. I don't mind Ducktales to much myself. It's one those shows you can't exactly call "bad" or even really "A little kid show" It's just, well, Ducktales!

Cute Cake

Well lazy ol' me FINALLY got around to posting the pics of my ADORABLE cake. Well, here they are......

Birthday Girl!

That was AWESOME!!!!! In case you were wondering I had a GREAT birthday! Unfortunately my big movie - and - the - mall trip with my group of friends was rescheduled, but I still had a great time. Me, and everyone in my family all went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant. The food was delicious but I ate so much chips and salsa I was too full to eat anything but cake. Oh, and about the cake, IT WAS ADORABLE!!!!!!!! My cake was made by a friend of my grandmother's, and she did a WONDERFUL job. It had white icing with red and blue trim, but my favorite part was the top of the cake which had a pop out Herbie the love bug on it. it was sssssssooooooooo adorable! We ate the cake part that night but we saved the Herbie for later, (because I was to squeamish to let anyone cut it; ) Aside from the cake, I got a lot of great presents. Including: a cute little piggy bank shaped, once again, like a VW bug ( you start to realize the theme of my little party ), a silky pink scarf ( which I wore yesterday, thank you Nina :), twenty smackeroonies spending money ( yes, I know that's not a word ) and plenty of other great stuff. All in all I had a great time was so glad I got to spend time with my family. The only two drawbacks were, first of all, that my cousin Abby couldn't be there, and second, that poor Herbie had too stay home as he has a flat tire. ; ) = 0

The Final Countdown!

Well here I am. Biting my lip, bored out of my wits, only about fifteen hours away from officially becoming a "teenager". Today I'm trying to be EXTRA good. So that they have to e EXTRA nice to me tommorow. I feel like Annie: " Toooomorrow, tomorrow! I love ya! tomorrow! your only a day away!!"

Happy Birthday!!!

No, no, no, Your right, I am one day off from MY, birthday, today is my dear, wonderful fathers birthday. For the sake of politeness ( and because I don't want to spend my day in my room ) I will not tell you how old he is turning. And, in going above and beyond in my niceness, I have not once today called him an "old man" ( I do have his number under that on my cellphone though )
What I love about my dad is that he is so unpredictable, he is always smiling and ready to joke with you when you need it ( and occasionally when you don't ) He can also be stern when called for. I must admit I haven't been the nicest little girl to him today, and I'm not likely to pull my self from the computer and bake him a cake, either. But still, I thought a nice blog post was the least I can do.
