Car..... Adventures

Well guys I have had the adventure of the week here in my little town of Portsmouth!! Our little economic car has had a lot of problems for a while, but in order to fix all those problems it would cost us more then the car is worth. So we have been trying to fix the cheap things and just run it into the ground. Well, I was going to go do some inspections and I started to hear this clicking sound. BAD right! I pull over, luckily I was still in cell range. I call Eric and he has me check the oil level. It is not even reading on the little stick thing. That is BAD! So Eric has me take the car he drove and finish the inspections and he puts the oil he brought in the little car and drives that home! I go and finish my inspections just as the light fails I am done and start driving home. Caleb is asleep in the back seat, when I get on the highway my car starts to vibrate, shake, and rattle a lot. Now the car Eric brought he brought because he could not find the keys to the van. And this car has a bad oxygen sensor. So I wasn't too surprised about the unexpected butt and back massage, but I was nervous because of the run in with the little car! But I made it home!!!
Before this little adventure we had a great dinner! I made some wontons, and bought some sushi that Kroger has started selling in our area. And we made tofu kabobs, with onion, green pepper, tomoatoe, and pineapple, with the tofu wrapped in bacon and one peice of pineapple on each kabob wrapped in bacon. It was soooo good. And then we had this new set of placemats that look chinese and they came with chop sticks so we used those. It was so much fun. And then for dessert I saw a recipe in a magazine for these sute strawberry mice. You cut one little peice of the strawberry to level it and make it sit flat. and then you use the hole in the larger end or make your own for a peice of twizzlers pull apart strings for the tail, and then you use chocolate chips for the noses and chocolate dots for the eyes and mouth but I didn't have any chocolate melted like that so I just used to chips for the eyes and didn't bother with the rest. It looked soooo cute!! And Caleb just had a BLAST eating the mice! Best batch of starwberries I have ever had! So it was a good day and it was a bad day. And Caleb will NOT go to sleep. He is still up there playing around! I can hear him right now jumping up and down on the floor.
