Bad Week

The week started out great.  I paid off my truck finally.  But then the bad news starts.  I smelled something hot on the truck on Monday.  I park the truck in the driweway get out and see a puddle of oil below the truck.  I take it to a garage and guess what.  The truck blew and oil pan gasket? Now, how does that happen?  No problem, I have a warranty with the truck.  More bad news, the warranty was for 48 months.  It expired Nov. 21.  WTC!!  SO 390 friggin dollars later I get the truck fixed.  Not a way I wanted to spend my Christmas money.

Oh there was some good news.  My wife is a shopper.  She loves to shop, shop, shop. She can go all day.  Well, I beat her down Saturday.  Yes, we decided to spend the day shopping.  Being the good husband that I am I decided I would go with her.  We took the child to grandma's and went shopping ALL day Saturday.  Two malls in two cities  and 12 hours later I am still standing and she is complaining.  Yes, I took her on and beat her down. I am the champion.  I win.

I think it had something to do with a stop at the store Brookstone.  If you are in the middle of marathon shopping day, stop by at Brookstone and get a feet and calf massage.  That did wonders for me.  I think it helped me get through the day.
