My Cheesy Horror Movie Wish List

http://lcm1219.multiply.com/journal/item/21/My_Cheesy_Horror_Film_Wish_List
This is the extensive list of horror and "monster" movies that we're looking for!!

Ten Thoughts Tuesday

Ten Thoughts:

1) Married Son was home for two days. He left yesterday morning and won't be back until Thanksgiving for the weekend. Poor thing spent his two days off (12 days on, 2 off) working on our cars. Guess that's what he gets for knowing so much about engines. I'm betting he's wishing he wasn't such a darned good mechanic right about now.

2) Speaking of my car ... because of Married Son's being on the road 12 out of 14 days at a time we decided we better have a mechanic friend fix the car. He's looked at it, it'll be under a thousand to fix. I'm so geeked. I was so worried it was beyond hope. Even better, I can pick my car up later tonight!! Happy Dance!!

3) Alien's been having a heck of a time with her new nose piercing. The hole itself is healing well, the stud just keeps wanting to fall out. Saturday night sometime it fell out while she was sleeping. In her panic she put a regular earring in the hole until she could get to the mall to replace the nose stud. I kept getting mental images of her somehow *snorting* the earring back. Daughter in Law, knowing how much I hate shopping offered to take her. Yippee!! I didn't have to go!!

4) Speaking of the Alien, she had her first time behind the wheel in driver's ed on Sunday. Since she already knows how to drive, she thought it would be easy. Wrong! The teacher has his set of driving rules (remember the 10 and 2 positions on the steering wheel?) ... and she's having to learn those rules if she wants to pass driver's ed. She's doing great in the book-work section of the class. She had to be told to not answer all the questions the teacher asks during discussion - to give the other kids a chance to answer them, too. I guess that's the benefit of having both a cop and truck driver for brothers. Every time they're out with Alien, they teach her the laws and are quick to point out other drivers mistakes. However, if she thinks she'll be driving whenever she wants (like she thinks now), she's sadly mistaken. Driving at the age of 16 is a privledge, not a right, dammit.

5) Yeah, Alien ... she's been a true teenager lately. Testing every fiber of my being. Thinking now she's 16 she has every right to act like an adult. Grrrrrrr ... weeks like this it's easy to understand why some species eat their young.

6) Why do I have to have one of those Guardian Angels that either has a warped sense of humor or is just plain sadistic? With all the weird stuff that goes on in my life, I'm beginning to seriously wonder if Murphy ("If it can go wrong, it will" Murphy) is my guardian angel. T

7) I'm sure that the twitches I swear that I've developed lately will go away. Eventually.

8) Birthday season has officially begun! Three weeks ago was Alien's birthday. Starting Thursday there's a birthday a week until the week before Christmas. We start with Single Son and end with my birthday a week before Christmas. No wonder I can never afford Christmas!! Birthday season kills the old budget.

9) Too cute! The one kitty, Shiloh as adopted me as his human. I can't do a thing without my little shadow. I can't get any peace unless he's sleeping with me, sitting practically on my drawing board while I'm doing my drawing homework, and basically just being underfoot all the time. He loves to grab my drawing pencils out of the pencil box. Now if I could train him to grab the right one when I need it. He's even taken over one of my erasers. Heaven help me if I need it. It's his now and he won't share!

10) And yeah!! I finally got my medical card in the mail. A full month I had to wait for it to show up. Now I can finally start to make appointments for all these doctors I haven't been able to see for years because of lack of insurance! I'm a happy camper.

Oy ... frustrated!!

Ok, so something other than 360 has me very frustrated right now. My car.

Last week a water hose broke. The car was stranded some 20 miles away until we could get it worked on. The mechanic called and said I needed a new water pump. Finally got it fixed and we were able to pick it up today.

Had a Starfleet meeting, so after picking the car up Alien and I went to the meeting.

On the way home the car started acting funny. Overheating. Sheesh ... just had the heater core worked on a few weeks ago, now what??

Found a hose that's broken. Don't know what it is or where it leads, but I know a broken hose when I see one.

I had my car back for a total of three hours. It now sits in a parking lot, waiting once again to be rescued.

Luckily Single Son wasn't too far behind me on the road that I couldn't call him on the cell phone and say "Help". We did get a ride home from him, thankfully.

Remind me why I love that car so much?? I'm not remembering right about now.
