More of the same

I finished the Pay it Forward for my brother, and actually shipped it yesterday! Kaje and Cupcake, sorry you're still waiting. Soon, I promise! Same to the gals from the fitness challenge. I swear I haven't forgotten y'all. Just super busy the last month.

An update on Carri: She was able to leave the hospickle a few days after her loss and attended her son's funeral. She is doing fine and has no neurological deficits or aftereffects from her physical trauma. So that's awesome. I left the sewing forum where I met her, however, so I don't have further info on that. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

I left the sewing forum because it was too distracting to just click over there and see what was going on while I was working. haha. Maybe someday I'll be disciplined enough I can be a member and just not check when I'm bored, but that's not likely to be anytime soon.

Mojo has his 1-year-old checkup tomorrow. Excited to see how much he weighs besides "too much" and "you're a tank" and "my arms are tired."

Kiddo's birthday is next Tuesday. If she survives that long. She's been copping a preteen attitude and doing all kinds of obnoxious things that now have her grounded for life. Or at least until I'm tired of the "i'm bored" "ok, go clean your room" discussions.

The car: It does need the new tires. They *say* the brakes are fine. It also needed some coolant and tranny fluid flushed/replaced. Oh, how nice to drive it tonight after we got it back ... okay, so the tires aren't done and neither is the recall (the small, triangular back windows can FALL OUT of the car apparently. niiiiiiiiiiiice) but the coolant and transmission made a world of difference in how it drove. hoping the tires fix the rest.

Mom and dad are back in town Friday for my niece's baby blessing on Sunday and the quilt show Saturday. Woohoo! Hubby and I actually have the niece AND a nephew being blessed Sunday, so we'll be busy. I'm sure we'll all just want to sleep after that.
