I just posted in my LJ a long, long post about my car troubles this week.

Rather than posting the whole thing here, I provide a direct link to the post:

What Would MacGyver Do?

The best part, besides the manatee, was Dad didn't realize this was his Father's Day present. So, when we were there getting ready I said something like "Well, I wanted this to be a cool Father's Day present" and he looked really shocked.

On actual Father's Day I'm going to make him dinner here (or lunch) and go to church with him.

Dan, I'm so glad you got home okay!

It was....something, I'm telling you.

I've just been too tired the last couple of days to write it all down. So I finally sort of let it all tumble out, spell checked it, and posted it.

Tanner is chasing a mouse. He keeps catching it and letting it go. Then he looks like he's almost afraid of it and then attacks it again. I wish he'd just kill the damn thing so I could throw it out. Guess I'm going to have to get me some mousetraps at the store tomorrow.

Hehe. I am evil. The cat wasn't running around anywhere, so I figured the mouse had gone to ground. Sure enough, the cat had it trapped under the vacuum cleaner. I lifted the vacuum cleaner up. Let the battle of wills commence.

Sail, that's not evil. That's entertainment.

Well, darn! I want to be evil just once in my life. Ima pout, now.

I want to stay up so I can dispose of the mouse corpse once it's dead, but I'm so damn tired. I think I'm going to have to hope that Tanner leaves it somewhere easy for me to find in the morning. Eau de dead mouse is not at all pleasant.

Well, darn! I want to be evil just once in my life. Ima pout, now.

Oh, no! Okay, you're evil! Also, naughty. I've SEEN the naughty in action.

Didna need to be said twice.

I had a good day today. Slept in, baked a cake then went to my first sewing class. I was supposed to go tomorrow, but the teacher called and said I was the only one registered for the Sunday class and asked if I could switch to the Saturday afternoon class. So, I did.

We went over how to thread the machine and do basic stitches and zigzag stitches. We picked out all our supplies and bought patterns and fabric. We're all making skirts, but we could pick any skirt pattern as long as it was an elastic waistband.

We went over patterns and how to lay out the pieces and then we cut out our skirts.

Next week, we will sew them! Lookee me, all sewy!

Then, after class, I went to a friend's house. He grilled filet mignon's and baked potatoes. We played bridge and ate my cake. And, I won! I rarely win because my luck at getting good cards really sucks.

Good day.
