Bad Blogger

Sorry I have been a bad blogger, I have lots to share.  And I finally purchased a new card reader so pictures should be here tomorrow!

Before I go all update on you this week, I thought I would share a funny story with you.

LML has a 1999 Chevy Tahoe that he has driven since I started dating him.  (I am not judging since I have a 2003 Camry that I love...)  His new job has him driving at least 50 miles a day (commute to and from work).  That means he drives my Camry and I get to drive the Tahoe.  I grew up driving SUVs, especially GM made ones.  I love them.
I know that one day when we have kids, I will want an SUV.  Today is not that day.  I miss my good gas mileage car.  One where I did not think about making quick trips to places not convenient to me. I miss my fill-ups being only $40 dollars max at the pump.

Well LML's car has had it's ups and downs over the past few years.  Currently we are are saving to get him a new car, specifically he wants a camry.  In the mean time, I suffer (not really) through driving his old vehicle.

This week his car started leaking coolant (read: antifreeze).  Since I am alone in hometown while he works elsewhere, I have to be the one to take it to the shop.  They tell me what it is and work a deal for me.  We decide that since it is not major, we fix it.  I call LML to find out where the keys are to old 1976's jeep that used to be his grandfather's.  He tells me and as I am getting in the car with my ride, he calls back and says, "I am going to be in so much trouble!  I put the CLUB on the car!"
I was thinking OK not my favorite thing to unlock but I can do it.

He then elaborates, "Yeah, I  umm....took the key with me!"
Insert angry face and annoyance in my tone, "You are in BIG trouble!"

So I spend the next thirty minutes trying to find a ride to the town where my grandmother and parents live, in order for me to borrow one of their extra cars.  I should mention that it is STORMING and no one was coming up or going back!

LML finally redeems himself by asking his mother if I can borrow a car from her.  Believe me when I say he definitely was up a creek without a paddle.  (This is probably exasperated by my recent experience of him taking off with the key to the gas cap. I drove 45 minutes on empty to meet him at a gas station!  It was not my favorite memory!)
