Opps

Okay, so it’s been a week from HELL!!

Sunday: only day I relaxed honestly…not really. I had to go run around in prep for the ice cold air. My nephew gave me his old Xbox 1 (me poor birthday kid gives me new toy).

Monday:12″ of fucking snow. I was the only one shoveling. Beating head on wall still. I had to shovel the fucking driveway and shovel out the cars. So migraine after that plus being swollen since I had to shovel all day off and on.

Tuesday: Woke up, ran to the doctors with Ash (been sick for a week), then had to move us temporarily to the upstairs. -35 windchill in a basement is TOO FUCKING COLD FOR ME.

Today: been just trying to find anything to keep me from getting in arguments with the family.  My mom was bitching because I was relaxing and playing minecraft while Spazz rested in her cage. Apparently, I’m abusing MY cat because I don’t want her getting sick from their cat.

Thursday: I have to be up at 6:30 am to head to Ann Arbor. Yeah, pain doctor tomorrow. Ice cold drive. Wish us luck not to die on I94 to get there.

 

So no new car, no idea what is going on, as of Friday Ash won’t have a job. Panic is setting in. I want to help people save money on hotels. Like I went to Indiana with less than $500 to spend on hotel, food, and anything else plus gas break down: $220 in hotel (thursday through sunday), $100 in gas (we drive an suv),  and about $100 for food and fun. And it was fun. We loved it.

Our usual trip to Equine Affaire:

$300 hotel room (it’s Columbus, OH and has indoor pool)

$200 for spending

$100 gas

And $75 food.

Honest review: Marinos

Oh lord…not much good I can say about this place. Dirty, nasty food (only good thing was the SALAD), and the games sometimes didn’t work. Prizes were a joke.

My nephew wanted to go to this place. He regretted it. He didn’t even like the pizza he had them make. The buffet style dinning meant not enough for the amount of people and everyone was touching everything but the salad. He was mad. He played a few games and half the time it ate his tokens. Complain? Yes. Get fixed? No. They said that he had no proof that he had even played a token. So yeah.

The bitch at the prize counter. OH MY FUCKING GOD. I wanted to punch her. She kept getting an attitude with him because he wanted a few items more than 1 large prize. He was being smart with the tickets he had won. The staff sucked. The salt and pepper was no where to be seen, the salad was almost like eating ICE. Just not a good night. I went in knowing that it was a good place according to my nephew so I wanted to give it a REAL try. Biggest mistake ever.

 

 

So over all this place left me hungry, angry, and disgusted. The bathrooms smelled like shit was smeared on the walls. It was horrible. And you could smell it in the game area. Just nope. Never again.

Honest Review: Alskate Fun Center

 

So to start this is a skate rink. Nothing fancy but a lot of fun. So my mom for my nephew’s birthday (1/26/2008), he wanted to originally go ice skating. We told him to go ice skate on the side walk so we decided regular was better. He was thrilled. So…we went.

Okay, best deal in town is:

$40- 4 people get in, skate rental, LAZER TAG, and 12 tokens to play games.

But you have to pay ahead of time online. No big deal in today’s digital era. So the inside hasn’t changed since I was a kid going there for school field trips. And trust me, you NEVER forget how to skate. So a dj was willing to take requests (and did). He rarely played slow songs and for the most part it was a mix of modern and older music, country to rap. It was a bit of all for everyone.

So lazer tag!?! Okay bear in mind, I do not play shooter games. So this was a bit out of my zone. So…it was 13 total. 4 adults the rest kids under the age of 13. Do you realize how uncomfortable it is to be playing with midgets? 3 of the kids didn’t even come up to my hips. One was SOO tiny she barely fit her vest (I mean this thing ate her). I laughed at the tiny one. She stayed with me and Ash in our base. SO MUCH FUN!!! LIKE ADULTS RUNNING AROUND WHILE KIDS ARE SHOOTING EACH OTHER!!….This is a lazer tag not REAL GUNS!!! NOT REAL GUNS!! Also lazer tag is older than me, so no issues forever. ANY WHOOO…..

 

So I didn’t get ANY shots of the floor to skate on because PEOPLE!! Also during intermission…I was in lazer tag. Any way snack area has eh prices. A large pop (medium size any where else) is $3. No refill. And trust me you gonna want a drink. It’s a work out there. We got 4 pops for $12 and 4 pops and a order of cheesesticks for $13. So not bad…but…not the best.  They have cotton candy (in a tub), pretzels, pizza, popcorn and Pickles to which you can get a shot of juice for 50 cents.

 

The game room…was something. Some games took 1 token, a couple took 2, and some took 4. So bear that in mind when playing.

 

So for games you need a prize area:

 

So over all it is a fun family place. Saturday open is from Noon to 9 pm.

Honest review of Virginia Coney Island

First of all if you EVER come to Jackson, MI you have to come to Virginia Coney Island for a coney. Locals know how to order it. But this is 100% honest so there will be some bad in it. I’ve been going to it for as long as I can remember. It’s on a main stretch of road and right near a 2nd coney island (review on that one later).

So to start Jackson has a few different coney islands and no 2 coneys taste the same. We have Alpha, Roosters, Andy’s, Virginia, Jackson, and another Andy’s. So yeah we big on our coneys here.

So to start: if you like onions just order as it comes or say extra. But if you anything like me and HATE onions that aren’t deep fried, say without. Like I said locals know the code for it. It comes with mustard and take it from someone who HATES mustard, you gonna want it.

They are meant to be messy. So the hot dogs are always steamed and grilled. You never notice the grilled. No 2 coneys will look 100% the same. As you can see but the taste is amazing.

They have a variety of side options from typical french fries (crinkle cut and good) to onion rings. They have salads (never personally had one). The onion rings are always crispy and fresh and good. Never had a bad batch yet. Fries however…I have had them give me burnt ones during rush times. No complaints honestly since I can’t really blame them when they’re pushing out an order for 300 hot dogs, 150 coneys, a lot of onion rings, chips, and some caned pop. So I wasn’t mad. You never wait very long on your food. I think the longest was 15 minutes and that was again during rush. You can call ahead but I recommend going in sitting in the old dinner style restaurant and just meet the wait staff.

So they have breakfast to. My personal favorite since I am allergic to eggs is smothered potatoes (order it as american fries with sausage gravy the name hasn’t stuck yet). Amazing. They have a thick but not too thick gravy and the potatoes are always good.

Now here is the real kicker, all the food you just say plus a cup of coffee and a pop only cost $14.75. The price on the menu is the price you will pay. Tax included in the price. It’s been the same price…forever I think. Since I can remember any way. After the pictures of the menu I will describe the bad times I have had and what to look out for besides burnt fries.

 

So the bad:

You can hear everything the staff is saying. There is limited parking in front and back.  Single stall style bathrooms. The staff isn’t always nice. You might have to catch their attention for refills.

But overall this place will make you feel welcomed and it has a map that if you’re an out of towner you can stick a pin in it to show how far you’ve come to try their delicious food. The owners are a nice older couple who still work there on occasion.  It’s voted #1 in the city and #5 in the state. It is my personal favorite and each coney island has different prices and cost a lot more. So if you’re on a budget like me, this is a good place to sit, get a cup of coffee, and have a nice filling meal.

So sorry it is late

Life gets in the way. My mom needed me to get up and help her find a car, no school for kids meant when sister went shopping I had kids (on my day off), and trying to help my sister make some tough choices for her cat.

So I got my first assignment from the guy in Indiana. NO real instructions. Like most is self explainatory. So I emailed him and asked what to do about something. No response. My fault probably. I did email him at like 9:30 pm when I finally got home after a bit of running around.

So yeah this is where I’m at. Awake at 1:30 am again. Not because I forgot to blog. Trust me I had planned to just do 2 tomorrow…but because I’m trying to figure out if I should try to do a kickstarter. I’ve got doubts anyone would really care about a RODEO documentary. Plus I can’t figure out what to offer. I was gonna do like t-shirts with my logo on them and hand decorated cups. 1. Where the hell do I get the money for the shirts? 2. I can’t decorate cups. I’m so stressed that I forgot to eat dinner again. I just had a bit of ramen before I started so no worries.

I’m human. I want to take the major plunge and do this but I have to think about Ash and Spazz and my family. I have NO kids or real things holding me back but I hate cameras. I don’t want to be in front of one again. I’ll post a picture of my hand done jacket. I love it. I wear it often. It’s just hard to not feel alone when your dream is so…far away. I am going to rodeo…just not sure when.

 

4 hours total gluing EACH stone down. 4 months finding a design I liked enough to adjust for me. The name took 5 years.

Choices….

So we have a plan in place…ish. I’m gonna tell you something no one probably will:

“If you don’t have your life figured out by 30, IT IS OKAY!!!”

You don’t need to follow the whole college is the answer. Waist of money if you don’t know what you want to study. Plus you kind of have to like school and let’s be honest here…not many actually like school for more than socializing with friends.  SO the issue on today is….

1. Move to New Mexico and take a barrel racing job with training and competing
2. Move to Indiana and take an assistant job

New Mexico would make sense if we had not just decided to stay closer at first. I will discuss it with Ash in a few hours. Another kids night with no one coming to deal with them after 3:30. At least today was a no migraine day. Just to figure out what to do to keep kids entertained…electronics because it’s too cold outside. I am not entirely sure what the next few hours holds but I do know it is probably gonna get loud. She doesn’t like changing her mind last minute.

Indiana: ability to see friends and family once a month

New Mexico: rodeo

UGH!!! She wants option 1 and I crave option 2. We will probably go to bed not talking again which is common when it comes to these kinds of talks. *sigh*. Relationships are about compromise. Hopefully we can come to one fast. We leave on Feb. 1, 2019. Either way. No job, no rent. It’s do or die. Sink or swim. Or just simply put we’re done freezing in a basement full of kids toys. I will let you know tomorrow what is the outcome since it has to be decided NOW so I can respond to the request.

I have to start planning what days the blog will get updates and what days I will review things and what day will get a recipe. I’m thinking something like:

Monday: update/plan

Tuesday: review

Wednesday: update/plan

Thursday: review

Friday: recipe

Saturday: update

Sunday: recipe or review

 

NONE OF THE REVIEWS ARE PAID!!! Yet. Eventually maybe but for now I am being 100% honest and 100% no holds bar. I have a few places and things I need to review that might surprise you so I will work on those as I go.

So now that I think about it…tomorrow will probably be an update and recipe day. I’m thinking either banana bread or just what gets made in my house (fair warning most of it is packaged so it’s an easy quick and cheap meal).

Dealing with migraines

So I watch my nephews a few hours twice a week. Well today was a long annoying one. I woke with one of my migraines at 5 am. Took a Motrin 600 and did my best to live in the dark silence. HA HA HA HA!!! No school meant NO QUIET. So the oldest has a rage problem when it comes to games…at the TOP of his lungs once he gets on. The youngest bounces, runs, yells, screams, makes weird noises at the top of his lungs. Then add in mother and sister fighting about something to do with cars and a loud chihuahua to the mix and I swear the radio would have been quieter. Noise cancelling headphones do not work in this house. I’ve tried.

So by 2 pm, I got up and drank some of my cinnamon chai tea and ate a little rice and took 4 200 motrins (over the counter ones). My mom and sister both suggested I get in a nice hot bath…in the ICE cold claw tub upstairs. Nope. It hurts to anyway.

I finally got rid of the migraine after heading to get dinner around 4:30. I visited the local pet shop down the road from the house. Oh lord. As soon as the sanctuary is running I have a plan in place already for this kind of place.

Issues I saw walking around:

1. No odor control. It smelled like the animal cages hadn’t been cleaned in days.
2. The fish tanks were disgusting and had a few dead fish in them as well as one dead turtle
3. The tanks for the snakes and other reptiles were dirty and ill kept
4. The koi had not been fed and were jumping out the small tank that had about 15 in it.
5. The betas were kept in tanks too small for one to even turn around in.
6. Birds kept solo. Birds are flock animals they need company especially when they can hear other birds.
7. Ferrets had no shelter in the cage that was a flat cage which meant no exercise.
8. No way for the ferrets to socialize since they were behind a screen
9. Birds kept in the back had issues as well. One was having breathing problems, another cage was over crowded, and none were clean.

I’m not saying this is odd or anything. Hell this place always stinks and never takes care of the animals but I’m more annoyed about the dead and sick ones they are trying to sell. People come in expecting to have better animals than the big box stores and they don’t. I’ve come in on fish arriving days. They come with TOO many in small bags that are not even prepared properly before being put in the tanks. I’ve complained to the workers and they say they will get right on it. This place is never busy but has been open for years. They often get kittens and puppies around Easter for a while and they are never treated properly either. I only go in to check on the conditions of the animals. I have called animal control on them before. Nothing happened.  The only good thing about this place is the fact it is such a small unknown store so people are buying badly treated animals.

 

So what does this have to do with the sanctuary? Easy. We plan to go into pet stores like that one and check the condition of the animals against a check list. If not up to standard, buy them so they can be properly cared for and adopted out. Fish? Lots of fish tanks and a koi pond. I love animals to the point for 4 years I had a gold fish tank after finding one in the road and had several in the horse trough.

I am going to be different than most people. I want to make sure all animals from gold fish to snake to horse to llama get a REAL chance at a good life. A fair chance at being loved. This is the goal for the next 3 years. Open it and get started but first rodeo and have a bit of fun while I can.

Mega January Pains

So….owe.

SNOW SNOW SNOW….first Happy New Year to all. Second, I hate SNOW. It’s wet, heavy, deadly. Anyway…

A few things I plan to talk about here:

1. Plans
2. Car shopping update
3. Issues
4. Resume
5. FAQ area

So plans…well after a LONG talk with Ash it was agreed that New Mexico should be like a 2nd move. Not first. We are close to our friends and family. Still getting lectured about moving away by them but this is OUR choice. We’re heading to Indiana in 2 weeks. Long story short, it was one of those decisions we discussed over dinner at Steak & Shake (cheap food). My biggest plan for this year: blog almost daily (recipes on days I have no updates), get a new horse, and work. Simple. Her plan: move, new job, and loose weight.

Car….shopping…on a budget SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! What I want: a Explorer type or truck type vehicle that doesn’t need a new transmission or enguine that hasn’t been in an accident. Simple? NO!?! Ugh. My budget is between $500-$1,000. Decent I thought since our dying car only cost $1,000. Nope. Everyone is selling SHIT.

Issues update: So for the most part we’re handling Michigan winter well…except all the damn snow showed up yesterday and basically all day yesterday (January 19, 2019). Blah blah blah, you live in a winter weather clothing state it’s gonna snow. Yes, that is true. But over time is better not “opps I’m late here you go”.

So for my resume I decided to stick to my strengths: horses. A list of farms I’ve worked with- Whitaker Farm (2001-2010), FireFly Acres (2008), Sears Arabians (2013-2018), Macinder Quarter Horses (May-July 2018), Jeff harness racing (2014? got to look it up again). Skills: working with a large variety of animals from cats to horses to llamas and emus (that was a fun one) and mini deer. Working with animals from birth to end of their time. Maintaining a clean work environment and cleaning other people’s mistakes. Great people skills and problems solving. No fear. Do not believe in limiting ones skills. Animals I’ve worked with: cows (Texas Long Horns, Jersey, Angus, and unknown breed good dinner though), goats (pigmy, nanny, billy, and horned), horses (large variety of breeds and sizes from mini to draft and all ages), sheep (horned and not), pigs (hogs and pot belly), llamas, emus, mini deer, poulty (ducks, chickens, geese, and turkey), rabbits (show and food and wild), turtles, fish, cats, and dogs.

 

FAQ:

1. Do I fake the pain? The hardest thing I can tell you is the second the pain reaches a new level for the day it does make doing everything harder. So no, I am not faking it.
2. Why move? I hate freezing in my sister’s basement
3. Why not just buy a farm? HA HA HA HA HA!!! With what money?
4. Why not get on disability? I want to compete rodeo still.
5.  Who buys your horses? Me.

 

I’m a normal person trying to deal with unusual problems. Shitty car, CRPS, and a family who is using me.

Well 2019 is already off to a start

I had already told you I was seeing ANOTHER new doctor for my leg. (insert eye rolling and sighing). Well…first I LOATHE cars. So the 45 minute car ride up there was stress since it was ALL highway with semis and faster cars and curves and drop offs and my mom’s van screwing up the entire trip. So we get there early enough for my sister to stop and get coffee. That girl is stuck on coffee…no coffee even I won’t go near her. So we get me dropped off.

NOT EVEN DONE WITH PAPERWORK; lady comes to get me for xrays. Lord have mercy on me. FINE. 13 different positions for my ankle LATER…I was led to a room. My appointment is at 1:15 and I arrived at 12:45. So my surprise, I hit submit on the ipad thingy that I was filling out and load my game thinking I have time. NOPE. Not even 5 minutes later a lady came in. I looked at her and she was nice. By this point my foot was already changing colors and loosing temperature so she was already making decisions before even asking any questions.

“How long has this been going on?”

“Well…I fell in 2106 and it just never got better. This last year it just took a turn for the worse.”

“How so?” I explained about the constant falls and it spreading. She nodded typing into the cool computer that has an electric key thingy on the outside. “So before the fall how was your ankle?”

“Normal, I was an extremely active person. I walked all over town, rode horses, and rode bikes with my nephews.”

“So how has this effected any of that?”

I laughed. “That all has been halted. When I say my year was bad I mean it got bad. I had to sell my horse and pretty much biking is out of the question since my hands hurt to touch the handles.”

“Do you do the desensitizing exercises?”

“A lot. I just to be able to wear a remotely tight shirt.” Wearing my green camo long sleeve shirt (bad choice as it was over 40 degrees). “And socks are still hit and miss when I can wear them. I have days were wearing them goes unnoticed and other days where the feel of them touching my foot makes me cry and want to cut them off.”

“We are going to suggest a couple of things. LONG before surgery which is still a possibility.”

“Okay, I am willing to try anything at this point to avoid surgery.”

“Well with CRPS surgery is a last resort for anything.  Especially in the affected area. We are sending you to OUR specialists who are the only experts in Michigan for the disease. They can come up with a different plan of attack to get it back under control. That okay?”

“Sounds good.”

“We are also going to give you an insert you should buy off Amazon.” Insert sigh. “What?”

“I can’t afford them. I haven’t worked in over a year.” She nodded.

“Well we will try something else for now then. We are still going to be giving you a lace up brace to try to reset that bone naturally. It might be uncomfortable for a while but it will help also we’re going to be adding a wedge to the inside of your boot.” I am wearing my camo western boots. “This will force the foot to roll back flat since you have such an unnaturally high arch. This will be double checked by the main doctor just to make sure I made the right diagnosis on this. You are low on cartilage in the ankle. I’m not saying that’s not a problem but if we were to put the screws in to hold the bone in place right now, there would be no help for the pain. Pain controlled first then we think about surgery. Deal?”

“Sounds good.” I smiled relaxing. She looked at my ankle again shaking her head.

“It’s getting darker still. I’m going to be right back. I’m going to go get him and put the orders in for the wedge and brace.” She left. Again I didn’t even finish one round of my game before she returned with the other doctor.

He looked at my foot (he hasn’t even touched it yet). “We are sending you to the pain specialty clinic.”

Proceeds with the usual touching and sensitivity testing. He shakes his head and speaks weird doctor to her and she types a few more things in the computer dingy. “We are going to wait until they send you back to us. We don’t want to make this worse. Your foot is 25 degrees colder than the left and you’ve only had xrays done on it standing. That is a rapid drop. Go ahead and put your socks on. Let’s see if we can warm it up before you leave otherwise they’ll require you in today.”

My sister got a text WHILE I was still in the office that the new clinic had called to make an appointment and it was in 2 weeks. She picked me up and got me a new lotion from Bath & Body Works to make me feel a little better (that was the hope any way).

So I will be posting a picture of the new brace and wedge later. It’s 2:47 am on the 4th so I should be in bed. I have to get up at 5 to go to work one last time with my fiance. We are still shooting to leave at the end of the month.

New Years Eve hell

So with us having expected my mom to be of SOME help since it was HER friend we were buying a car from, tempers exploded. I have managed to hold my temper for a while. High school I was nicknamed “Short Fuse” for my temper. Elementary years were pretty much the same. Anyway, she took Ash out for coffee. OH MY EVER LOVING GODS!!! She tried to convince her to stay *rubbing bridge of my nose as I type* AND expected her not to tell me. Just because her relationships kept secrets doesn’t mean we do. Just yep. My mom claims to be JUST WORRIED ABOUT MY HEALTH. Like bitch please. You’ve tried to convince me not to go using what happened in the 90s to my uncles as reason for us not to go.

Alright before this post is a rant post I can tell you Christmas was a week ago…and it was…something…at least.

So let’s start with Friday before:

I was sick! I mean bed or toliet ridden sick. Fever the whole 9. I was NOT leaving the house. So Ash went to tell our friends who had made it to the house about us leaving…in a fun way. We wrote a message and put it in a small glass bottle (ha ha ha note in a bottle) then wrapped it and CANDY in shrink wrap for them to open with dice. She said they had fun with it. Our friends are kind of like….okay it happens and happy for us.

So Saturday we visited my oldest friend (the one I told you I was more worried about).

I was still not feeling good but I was feeling better and I rarely get a chance to visit with her since her fiance is the definition of ASSHOLE. Any way, we packed up the presents we had and some extra small things we thought the kids would love. She has 2 kids by the asshole. ANY WAY!!! We got lost going to her house…trailer…thing that costs $1200 a month to RENT. UGH….any way, they had to get a roommate to cover part of it (dispite her working 2 FUCKING JOBS WHILE RAISING THE KIDS!!). Any way, we made it and went inside. Her youngest Toby was in the high chair eating while Sammy (the older one) was running around. It was great to see them again. It was. Sammy always wants to talk and play when I see him. ANY WAY!!! We had her open her presents and she kept saying sorry.

“I really do feel bad I don’t have anything for you guys.”

“It’s fine. No worries. Keep opening.” We reassured her.

It was all for her (minus the kids cups that don’t spill and a couple cute books). She actually squealed which to be honest was the happiest I’d seen her since she met the asshole over the Homeward Bound book we’d found for her. After she finished making Sammy’s dinner and getting him set in the high chair while asshole SAT ON THE COUCH DOING NOTHING!! She knows how I feel about him which is half the reason we don’t get to hang out that and he makes her hang out with him ALL THE FUCKING TIME. Back to the issue at hand.

So after she finally sat to eat HER dinner, he got mad that she didn’t make him some. Like seriously? She just got off work, had to feed the kids since you couldn’t be bothered to move on your day off, and YOU HAVE A BRAIN THAT KNOWS HOW TO COOK GET OFF YOUR ASS!! She told him to get something himself. He didn’t move. Just grumbled about it before starting a cool anime on Netflix. He didn’t even ask her if she had anything she wanted, didn’t ask her if maybe she wanted a nap. SHE LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING RACOON!!!…sadly that is an insult to coon eyes. She was yawning. He didn’t care. She hates horror movies…no fucks given by him.

So Sammy was put to bed since he skipped a nap because DADDY couldn’t be bothered to put the kid to bed. Toby was still up and wanted to be held. So I played with Toby for a few minutes then he started to look sleepy so I decided to help her since ASSHOLE couldn’t be bothered. I rocked softly humming lightly so it didn’t interupt the anime and within 3 episodes Toby was sound asleep. With help, I got up and took him to bed. He only woke for a minute. Returning to the living room, mid episode of anime and he switched it to a horror movie. KNOWING FULL WELL SHE DIDN’T WANT TO SEE ONE!! Rant didn’t end apparently.

Okay so Sunday….was wrapping and relaxing day while she shopped with her mom and cousin. She was irritated and annoyed when she got home. I was still not feeling well.

So now it’s Christmas Eve.

1. We are NOT religious. Do NOT waste your breath about this holiday being about some baby being born in a barn. You are barking up the wrong tree. If you believe that, more power to you. Not saying anything about it. Just NOT my cup of coffee.
2. My family has a bit of weird traditions. We do family gifts on Christmas Eve and SANTA gifts on Christmas Day.
3. Ash and I don’t exactly have traditions yet. We haven’t had a chance to make any.

My family knows NOTHING about us. Clothing? Wrong sizes. Shoes? Wrong size. Smells? YUCK. But the blankets are nice and hot chocolate is nice and the Supernatural Notebook is nice. I am grateful. So is Ash but MEH. They really don’t even try any more. I got a couple nail polish kits to.

Christmas Day:

Ducks, stuffing, NO YAMS (crying still), mashed potatoes, green bean thingy, deviled eggs,  stuffing, and pies. It was nice. No arguing. Kids ate. It was pretty decent meal finally.

 

NOW…not really sure why I lost my temper over the car thing. I think it’s because she keeps making excuses and keeping us from talking to her friend. I’m not sure. Anyway…we only have $400 for a car and he was gonna sell us his WORKING car. Now I question if she isn’t lying to keep us from looking at options for a different car.

 

Anyway, I will do a Christmas gift post later. I am dealing with getting things around for it. Talk later. Movie time.
