THE WEEKEND

What an absolutely awesome weekend. It all started with my car leaving me stranded during lunch break on Thursday while we were attending an event sponsored by one of the trucking companies that we deal with at work. We attended the same event back in February and the whole thing is just about going to see the NASCAR racing car #17 driven by Matt Kenseth. With NASCAR coming to Phoenix next week they usually bring the car out for customers to see. This year they even turned it on, and let me tell you this cars are loud. I forgot my camera on top of my desk so I couldn't take pictures by my rep did take some except I have to wait for him to email them to me.

So, we stayed there for a while, we ate and receive some goodies and as sat in my seat to turn it on, my car was completely dead. Half an hour later we got the battery jumped and we were on our way back to the company. This in any other situation would have been a bad thing, but in this case it was a good thing. The car has continued to start without a jump and I have not gotten my battery changed, I guess I am waiting for it to leave me stranded again. Yep, I am a glutton for punishment.

Thanks to this mi chica set it up for my car to be dropped off at her dad's on Friday night so that he could check it and fix a few things. My car received and oil change, a new belt, he changed my rack and pinion, and rotated my tires. The only thing that didn't get fixed was a leak in my transmission as the whole thing has to come off in order to get the gaskets replaced, so we decided to leave this for a future visit. The car was then taken to be aligned and now it feels like new again.

So, Friday afternoon I sent a text message to mi chica asking her if she would like to join me at Manny's after work for some food and karaoke. She said yes so I got there about an hour before she did and I took my time scanning the books. I sang a song while I waited for her and then two more after she got there. I had a great time, and now we will do this again next week. Actually we will be joined by some of her friends.

Saturday, well if you read my previous post then you'll know that we went to the local Fire House Open House, as this is fire prevention week. I had a great time there just watching my grand kids have so much fun.

On Sunday we got up late and after breakfast we went to pick up my car. On the way back we stopped at a couple of stores that mi chica wanted to visit, and then she needed to have her nails done. It was at this time that I got some stress as they had the Cardinals vs. Cowboys game on and in the last three seconds the Cowboys tied the game sending it to overtime. I was told by mi chica more than once to keep the noise down, but hey it was pretty dramatic ending to the game and we were all screaming. The lady painting mi chica's nails kept saying, "I stop now, I stop now" every time a new play was about to start. I had to get out of the place as I didn't want to see the Cardinals lose, but I came back in just in time to see the kick get blocked and the ball picked up by the Cards. TOUCHDOWN! The Cardinals win the game. It all happened so fast that nobody even noticed what happened. I am jumping and screaming and mi chica says, "What happened" "WE WON, WE WON" I told her. "How in the heck did it happen, I just turned my head for one second" she said. Well, thank God for replays because she got so see how it happened.

To celebrate, we went home dropped off my car and went to eat tacos, yep Mexican tacos. We invited my daughter and my grandson to join us, we picked them up and had a great time with them . After that we came home and just chilled. Yep, good weekend indeed. I hope your was just a good.
