This past weekend...

This past weekend was not the best, I can tell you that! But there were some good points.

Friday night, a friend out ours died in a motorcycle accident. Rest in peace, Stephen Stone! He was only 21 years old. It definitely was a shocker..

Saturday morning, my husband took my car to be inspected. It failed. We were told it would take about $500-$600 to fix. Yay, right?

Saturday afternoon, we were watching a movie at our place. All of a sudden the a/c unit started making these weird sounds. The lights started flickering, and then got real low. Then one by one, all of the electric started cutting off in every room. The only place we had electric that worked, was the bathroom. Apparently, something burned in the main breaker or something for our building...and it only affected our apartment. The maintenance people were here trying to figure out what happened for hours. They were unable to fix it that day, so we went out to Wal-mart and bought an extension cord to run from the bathroom (since it had working electricity) to the living room, for light and such. I had orders and stuff that I needed to do...but my sewing machine and other 'tools' were unable to work due to the power problem. It sucked.

Sunday morning, I received a huge bag of sewing/crafting/other art items from a nice lady. Also, lots of fabric. That definitely made me happy :) As I was going through the stuff, I told my husband 'This is like Christmas for me..' haha. I love new art stuff.

Sunday afternoon, the kids and I went over to my moms, as we do basically every Sunday. We replaced 2 of the lights on my car that had failed inspection. We looked over the other things that needed fixing and my mom talked to the people at the auto parts store. The other thing could probably be fixed much cheaper if we (meaning my brother, of course) did it ourselves...So I am probably going to head back out there on Tuesday to fix the other things (with the exhaust), and look at tires. My mom and I also took my kids, and my nephew to the pool. That's a nice way to wind down a lonnng weekend.

I've decided to wait on my contest that I was going to open up...maybe a week or two, while I figure some things out.

M'kay, well I am off here to work on some projects that I've started. Later.
