Nothing new

I feel so guilty having this blog and not posting as often as I'd like. But honestly, there hasn't been anything new happening, it's all work and no play here lately. The only remotely interesting thing is that the brakes went out on my car. But wait...remember I drive up and down a winding mountain to get to and from work in Simi Valley! So here's the story:

I guess it's not really funny, but since nothing happened it's ok :). I was driving to work and discovered I had to press really hard to get the car to stop. Not being too mechanically inclined (that's why I got married) I called Leroy, told him the situation and he said I was probably just out of brake fluid. **Did I mention we've been riding on grinding brakes for over 6 months, that couldn't have been good** Anyway, since Target is literally right behind the post office I was at I was gonna drive straight over and get some brake fluid. Now why would I think that would be easy?! As I start to pull out I discover I have no brakes at all! Back in the parking spot and I now have to walk to Target. Get the brake fluid, research in the manual where to pour it and WHALA! I'm now a mechanic :)

So I think things are going good, I get off work, start driving down the mountain and my e-brake dummy light goes on. Oh great, I'm on the downhill of Grimes Canyon mountain and I have a light on! I make it home safe and sound. Leroy said no way I can drive it so there it stayed. Oh yeah, the next day I had to be to work at 4am, so Leroy & the kids had to drive me :( When we got home that afternoon you could see on the tire where all the brake fluid leaked out. Luckily I made it home safe, it was a close call! Next we find a good mechanic here, he fixes it and we are out $280 buck :( But on the plus side I'm alive :)

See not very interesting just a little strange :)

PS---Anyone have any birthdays for me? Thanks Beka for yours! I already have the cards made :)
