what a week

The week started out nice enough. Had some girlfriends over on Sunday afternoon to stitch and we watched the EAGLES win their football game.

Monday night I started my accounting class and believe it or not, I was kinda excited. Meet my friend at Wendy's for dinner and I had diet soda, 1/4 lb single and a side salad. I know, don't fall over - no fries I had a salad. We go out to leave for class and my car DOESN'T START!! Viv takes me to class and says after class we'll call her husband and he'll come jump my car. Class went well, there are about 7 of from last semester and it was kinda cool because the teacher told the class how well Viv and I did. Back to my car, her husband meet us there at 9 and decides it not my battery but my starter. Have to leave my car at Wendy's and then arrange to have it towed to Sears in the morning.
Long story short - it was the battery. Which was new in June 07, so I called where I brought it and they said they reimburse me the whole amount - which they did. Was very surprised about that but happy.

Then my shower has been leaking and since I know pay for water, needed to get it fixed. Called Mattaioni's in Downingtown and they came out. Very nice, fixed my shower and checked all my toilets and sinks for leaks - all is well. That only cost $180

And my garage door opener is acting strange. It wasn't working right - the only way I could close it was to hold the button in the garage. Then my brother Joe fixed it, and then Fred fixed it and it was working fine but this morning I could not get it to close from the car!!!!!!!! But then it is line 15 degrees out there. I'm hoping it's just the cold and not that I need a new garage door opener. I'll give it a couple of days. and see what happens when it warms up some.

Have a nice day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I can't believe it's 2009!! Where does the time go. So much has happened in the last couple of months.
I finished my first college class (in 35 years) with an A. I start my next class on January 12. Don't know how far I'm going to go with taking classes but for right now, I'm enjoying myself.
I hope to be more organized this year and blog more. Not a good start by not blogging until Jan 7!! LOL But we'll see how it goes.
I had bought a new computer in August and both my kids tried to talk me into getting a lap top, which I resisted and did do. Now I'm kinda regretting that decision - but I'll never tell my kids. It would be so easy to sit at night with the computer on my lap doing what I wanted to do instead of going downstairs to where the computer is.
Finished most of what I wanted to stitch for Christmas. Now I want to finish up some projects that I have started. That it what I'm going to work on this month.
Until next time -
