I went to FSJ today.... just for a quick trip. Teapot was supposed to get his new glasses. That didn't happen as it looks like they won't be ready till next week now. We also thought we would pick up our truck since we called lunch time and everything was going good... yes, once again The stupid truck is in for the same problem that they think they fix but don't. This is the forth time the truck has been in for repairs in less than a month. We were supposed to pick the darn thing up when they were closing... well we didn't get our truck and there's a bit of a story to that. We also took the Daughters with us because since they are on spring break and everyone of their friends are vacationing in some wonderfully beachy resorty place that we would try give them something nice too.... no we did not take them to a tanning salon... and no we did not find a place comparable to a beachy resorty place. We ended up taking them to the movies... we went to see The Hunger Games. The movie started at 3:30 p.m. and we expected to be out in time to go get the truck... and we would have been if the power hadn't gone out and then come back on... so that put us behind by 20 minutes or so. Which meant by the time we got to the dealership it was closed.... but that was ok because our truck is NOT fixed yet. At least it wasn't out on the lot and usually they park the fixed trucks in the parking lot for pick up... we drove around but it wasn't there... which leaves us wondering why.... not.
Meanwhile, the movie was awesome... I loved it and now really really want to read the books. It is all about a futuristic world where war has been abolished through the implementation of games where each district gives up a boy and girl between the ages of 12 - 18 and they are let loose in a forest to fight to the death till only one person remains standing. Our heroine volunteers after her 12 year old sister is picked in an effort to let her young sister live a little longer. Most of the movie is about the dilemma of humans caught in a setting they they do not want to be in and how they survive. Interesting concept rather like Lord Of The Flies..... and will human goodness win in the end. Our poor heroine spent a great deal of time hiding and waiting for the others to kill each other off but of course there had to be a bit of politics and background machinations involved....
Like our poor heroine I am sitting here thinking of ways that I can hide in fear and trepidation. I stupid-like took on a project that I should have my head examined for. My new loom is sitting in the corner of the living room waiting for a warp.... I should have known at Christmas time when I agreed to the Shadow Weave project that I would be too busy to do this thing.... I loved the idea and I wanted to do it really badly but I have two friggin levels of homework to do and I have been really hard at it. That is my priority.... PRIORITY. Saturday is my day of reckoning.... I am supposed to have the warp on and my first block woven.... I do not. I would like a large hidey hole in which to lie low. I am going to be killed. In no uncertain terms... dead.... d... e... a... d... dead! I'm even afraid to write that because I know just know that RG is going to be totally disgusted.... I'm scared.... really scared... she reads this... I think I will go turn off my phone... cause I'm really really scared. Even my knees are knocking. Yes I'm totally chicken... maybe I could sleep through Saturday.... So I am writing here today to say good bye to you all before I die a slow and painful death on the looms of my fellow weavers.... Squeak! I'm really a mouse at heart you know.
I'll let you know if I live through it all... I expect I'll be at least told off in style. Good bye my beloved blog followers .... thanks for all your support. I'm heading off to go into hiding....
Avoidance really is the only way out... maybe I should at least warp my loom... arggghhh! Would someone please take pity on me and help me warp my loom..... mwaaaaa...I'm going to diiiiieeeee.....

Frankie - given how much trouble that truck has been, it might be worth consulting a relevant copy of Lemon-Aid to see if there's any informtion about its model year.
Thanks Laura lee, the only problem with that is that I don't think... at least I am hoping that we haven't bought a lemon. The problem lies with the dealership and the mechanics. We have told them over and over again what the problem is but it doesn't get fixed. Every time they think they have fixed it and so do we for a few days but the problem keeps coming back so this time we actually had a mechanic in the truck with the gizmo attached to the engine to find the problem and Mike drove the truck so that they could actually feel what is going on. Evidently it is not the transmission at all. Which is what we thought the problem was. So now they have ordered a new part for it and hopefully we will have the problem fixed this time.... I hope... so no it is not a whole lot of different problems it is one that has never been fixed properly.
