anyhow - i don't remember if i have put a pic up yet of the soulchilds jeep yet?? if not here it is -- still in need of -- a new carb. ugh. we got it on order last night . kill meh. we both thought soulman would be able to rebuild the original one... didn't happen.. it was a piece o' crapola. better to just get a new one and not worry about failing emissions and doing more work later. (i know- lousy pic - i thought i had one on my phone - but it's gone :(( - so i went out and took one -- with my car in the way -
it's nice actually - and she loves it -- that's the most important thing of all. it has a hard top , a roll bar , and A/C - which are rare for this model and year - '88 jeep - 'somethin' - i'll get back to you on that. :))
but - the price was good - and they held it til we could pay it off... BUT - parts are gettin expensive already. we had to break out a paid off credit card yesterday for almost 700.00 worth--- you know that is pure pain for me. but i do want it on the road as fast as possible. i swear i'm gonna have a coronary - if she doesn't stop drivin soulman's truck.
on the bright side? soulkid does have a job interview lined up this week-- and is graduating on 2-5. so it aint all negative -- as much as it sounds like it sometimes. :(( she really is a good kid. y'all just don't know how proud and happy we are to see her graduating. you know there were times we didn't think she'd finish school - much less graduate! :)) now a job, and a car... she's gettin there guys .. she just had a rougher road than some.
in other news .... i am still enduring -- with periods of relief -- a five day long stinkin headache! WTH? i hope it's PMS - and not a pre seizure or something like some others i've had like this. whaaaaa.
that- my friends is about all i have to say at this point. somehow i stay busy all day every day -- but it just isn't worth talkin (writin) about. but 'm cleaning, sorting, searchin for tax rct's, goin to dr's, oh -- and guess what else i have found to spend time doin? would y'all believe that the - number one x-box widow - has joined forces? LOL -- it's true. while we were in NM with hubbys fam.. his brother bought a WII. it looked like a lot of fun.. i was sick there - remember -- i would go to bed early - but i would hear everyone playin it - and laughin and havin a real good time. i did try to-- note the TRY -- :)) to bowl before we left -- it was fun, but i did suck . :)) anyhow - a couple weeks ago -- i took my 'new' credit card --- this was before the car stuff -- i would not have done it if i knew what was comin... but yep i got us a wii -- and it actually helps me n hubby spend more time together and it's fun! who knew right? he still plays x-box of course -- but not til i have my time with him at night. this thing's better than marriage counseling.... but not reccomended! y'all know we are our own breed among the normal folks.
ok -- time to get goin here --
hope you all have happy days in your worlds today!
i'm workin on it - and considering --- i'm doin pretty good lately -

We've played with the wii at son's and daughter's houses, and it's addictive! I will not have one in my house - if there's anything I DON'T need, it's another addiction!
The jeep looks terrific; kinda makes me want one!
What's up with that headache? I had one that lasted more than a week, but I had flu, so that was easily explained. Hope yours goes bye-bye soon.
Love ya! EM
it can be addictive right? the good part is - we only have one game at this point -- wii sports resort - and even tho there are like 6-7 games on there - bowling is the only one that my mind can master. :)) this is the first gaming system since the original nintento- or game boy - that i have been able to play - and i never even saved the princess! i did beat tetris tho-.
too many buttons and motions to remember in order to play though ? i never could get the hang of it. so i do like the wii.
anyhow-- i'm kinda lookin forward to driving the jeep too. it does look fun. i wanna drive it with the top off ! (when it's warm, of course!)
the everlasting migraine? no idea. mostly it hits in the evening or middle of the night. it's not unusual for me.. but i am sure gettin tired of it.
take care EM :))
The jeep is nice!
We put the Wii on the living room TV just so Zach wouldn't become addicted to it.
brenda- do you play? what game is your fave? maybe i'll get it. and what's with the living room makin a difference? is he not allowed in there? :)) that is usually the main room in most homes-- it is in ours anyhow-
Baby Beanie is addicted to Wii too!
I guess we are the only Americans who do NOT own any type of gaming system. What fogeys we are :)
The jeep is cute but I would have been afraid of one that needed work .Hope that all goes as planned. Is it an automatic? i want to see a pic of soulkid with her jeep :)
Hope yer headache's gone.
Love me
the wii must be pretty popular-- i didn't realize how many of us ole folks played it -- :)) must be the simplicity eh? we have a fishin game on order -- surely you didn't think we'd not go without one of those. bad part? it's been on back order -- so far almost 2 weeks -- and still waitin :(( hopefully we'll get it soon!
smocha yeh-- i forgot that part -- it is an automatic -- one more good thing about it! it's perfect for her !! the reason we got it needin some work? it made it CHEAP! also-- it needs more work than was disclosed -- only cuz the lady didn't know tho-- not out of being sneaky. we knew the carb was bad-- but she tossed in a rebuild kit. but the carb turned out to just be crap. he replaced the fuel pump- and did some adjustments to the carb -- had it runnin for a while -- then kaput!
then just ordered the carb - complete - ready for install -- of course we wait. and he ordered soething else that cost over 300-- that i cant even remember -- but yeh-- i'm gettin nervous. but-- really we'll still come out with a better jeep than what we woulda got - for less than one in the condition this will be in when we're done. it's alright. it's worth 600+ -- we got it for 3500. i aint complainin-- yet.
come coffeeee meeeeee
that would be - worth over 6000 not 600 bleh
Hey girl! My son has a Wii and he didn't play it much...he's into Xbox Live. Anyway, I bought Just Dance 2 and we had a good time with tht one. My best score was with Viva Las Vegas! I put Ann Margaret to shame. Haha.
Love the Jeep! I'm piddling with things here too. This and that. I tried the Wii at my neighbor's house. My TV is just not big enough for me to have one.
I'm glad you and hubby are playing with each other :) LOL
You sound so good. Yea! And I love soulkid's jeep. A classic.
Cabela's and Bass Pro have many different fishing and hunting games . When I'm hyper I love playing Just Dance 1. I got a Wii fit for X-mas. I'm hoping when I feel better to do some Yoga on it.
