It is so dark and rainy out today! It keeps the temps down, but it just looks so depressing! We don’t really have a whole lot going on around here today. We’re stuck in the house because my husband’s car is in the shop, and he had to take mine to work today. That’s OK though, I don’t really like dragging Jordan out in the rain anyway.

 

I don’t think that I mentioned that my husband, at the age of almost 35, is going through some sort of mid-life crisis. As long as I have know him, which is about 11 years, he has always driven a truck. Trucks just “fit” him – KWIM? Well, a couple of weeks ago he called me and told me that he’d found some awesome deal on a Corvette. This is some anniversary, special model, blah, blah, blah…. That’s what it sounded like to me, because I am just not a “car” person. As long as it’s a decent car, and it works, it’s fine with me! Well, he already had some special edition Super Sport truck that he just “had to have!” So he wanted me to trade my Trail Blazer in on the Corvette and drive his truck. I told him I didn’t want to drive a truck! It’s an extended cab, but still not very convenient for carrying groceries and stuff. I tried to talk him out of the car, partly because it’s just not him, and partly because the payment was going up quite a bit. The Corvette is a 2003, so it’s not like it’s new, but still, those cars are not cheap.

 

Well, long story short, he bought the car. Of course all the guys at work love it, and he gets comments on it everywhere he goes. We have yet to go out in it as a family, and you know why? Because there’s no where for Jordan to sit!! See… not very practical for a family – he doesn’t think about things like that! Anyway, he went out yesterday morning to go to work, and the steering wheel wouldn’t turn, and there was some kind of warning light on. So he calls the Chevrolet dealership, and apparently there was some kind of factory recall, and the computer in the car needs to be “updated.” So, they send a tow-truck to come get the car so they can fix it. Luckily it is a factory recall, because it won’t cost us anything to have it fixed. Since it’s a 2003, of course it’s not under warranty anymore. See, there again, he didn’t think about that either! And you know it can not be cheap to have work done on a Corvette! MEN!! Sometimes they just don’t use their noodles! OK, now that I have vented that frustration….

 

Check out the items I added to Scrapbookgraphics yesterday:

 

Remember the old door I told you about? Well, I got few pics of the “before” state of it yesterday. Look at the ornate carvings!

Here’s what the whole door looks like

The glass is missing, and I will have to scrape off all of the paint. I know, considering the age of the door, that the paint probably has lead in it, and I can’t have that in the house with Jordan. The paint pretty much just falls off though, so it shouldn’t be that much work. I have no idea what exactly what I’m going to do with it. Phil told be to put glass back in it and do the Gallery Glass – you know, the fake stained glass stuff.

 

OK, onto the freebie for today. Since it’s so dark and dreary here, it has me in a Fall mood. Fall is my favorite season. I just love all the colors in the leaves and the cooler weather. So, today’s freebie is a sampler of Elegant Harvest. I will be adding this set over at Scrapbookgraphics in the next couple of days.
