If it's not one thing... It's another...

The seal or gasket (or whatever it is) behind the water pump in Kris's (my boyfriend) truck is no good and now water is leaking everywhere!  Once again, I will do my best to be his Mechanic Nurse and help him out.  My job is to hand him tools or whatever he needs for the job.  For some reason, I don't think he trusts me to remove bolts or anything 'cause I'm a girl, lol.

The timing of this whole thing couldn't be worse.  We are supposed to be saving money to go to Colorado for his best friends wedding.  We leave to drive to Portland on Turkey Day to catch our plane.  May have to take a bus to Portland if anything else decides to go wrong with his truck.  We already have our plane tickets purchased (obviously) but now we are going to be short on cash while there.  Fun.  We fly back home on the 30th... That's a long time with no money, lol.  But, we will make the best of it and still have a blast while there :)

On to something else... My family, Kris and I are going to have Saturday as our Turkey Day since Kris and I will be gone on the real Turkey Day.  Saturday is also my birthday so we are getting two birds with one stone... Much easier that way!  We should just pick one day out of the year and celebrate EVERY holiday, lol.  That would be a huge money saver!  4th of July, Easter, St. Patty's Day, Christmas, Halloween, Birthdays and whatever other holiday I didn't say... All rolled into one!  Sweetness :)  Well, maybe on New Years Eve...

Anywho, I should get going.  He's in the shower now and he will be ready to start mechanicin' once he's done.  Have a great day all!  :)

What am I?

I am a woman, a housekeeper, an accountant, a dog groomer, a laundry service, an organizer, a landscaper, a cook, a dish washer, a coffee house, a phone book, a mechanic's assistant, a seasonal warehouse worker, a shoe finder, a back scratcher, a masseuse, a craigslist seller all rolled into one being.  I am Super-Shannon!  Just a typical day in the life of most women, lol.  Seriously though, women do it all!  Sorry guys... (Some of you do a lot too!)

U-Joints and Grease Monkeys

Yesterday, my whole morning consisted of helping my boyfriend replace u-joints... Well, we only got one done (passenger side).  I like working out in the garage with him and being his Mechanic Nurse, lol.  He calls out tools like a Mechanic Surgeon and I get them for him.  I ask him a question about what he's doing and he laughs at me for asking a stupid question.  "Damn girlfriend, askin' dumb questions!"  He then laughs at my stupidity.  But, it's all it good fun.  He enjoys my company :)  He tells me so!  Got dirty and greasy but that's better then getting all dressed up for me, lol.

We did the drivers side U-Joint this morning.  Another fun-filled morning of silly questions.  Although, I was the 'bright' one when it came to working smarter and not harder.  So, I had to give him lots of hell for that and laugh at him in return!  "Yeah, yeah... laugh it up, smartass"  he says!  "Did you just call me smart?"  I ask with a huge grin, lol.  I love that man!  :)

Then, about 30 minutes ago, my mother dropped off one of my Uncles to help.  They both decided to laugh at my Grease Monkey attire.  "Halloween was almost 2 weeks ago"  My mother tells me as she's looking at the greasy clothes and the black marks on my face. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.  But now, Uncle Austin is going to take my place as Mechanic Nurse and I will stay in the house and do some cleaning.

Later all!  :)
