Old friends, left-overs and rototillers

Guess what my favorite thing that happened this week is?

My best-y from college visited me! I haven’t seen her in about two and a half years. That is way too long folks.

Way.

Too.

Long.

She remarked at one point that my name was in all caps in her phone. It’s in all caps because she entered my name in her ancient flip phone that only allowed her to enter names in caps. What was even more precious is that my first name is in caps in her phone and my last name isn’t. " ‘Cause I got married", she said ;n ) She changed my last but not the first. I think that is THE SWEETEST THING EVER!! Every person needs a friend that still has your name in their phone in all caps ;n) I love you Mardi… you are the sweetest and you live too far away.

 

I had some left-over Coconut Lime Buttercream so I tried a new coconut cake recipe.

 

Next time I make coconut cupcakes, I’m leaving out the shredded coconut…don’t like the little “crunch” in my cake. But they still tasted divine, heavenly and delicious!! Coconut lime icing is still on the top of my favorite thing to eat list. Don’t tell my hips that the presiding ingredient is butter. They might just ignore you.

I made a big lasagna on Saturday ‘cause we were expecting friends. Alas, one of the poor friends got sick so they had to cancel. I was left with a dilemma. The wubs doesn’t eat lasagna. I know crazy right? He’s not big on the tomatoes and avoids things made with the little red nasty’s yummies. I fed it to my besty. She likes litte red yummies. So do I! It was pretty good. And so were the cupcakes!

Then we sat down to watch “Puss In Boots”. I own it. I know it shocks you that I should own such a movie. I’m sure you have to pick yourself up of the floor from the surprise. Best-y had never seen it and I was happy to share.

While we were watching the movie I kept seeing the wub’s white t-shirt fly by the window out of the corner of my eye. Curious about the commotion, I tracked him down.

I snapped a pic of him. He can’t resist posing. If you put a camera in front of him it will most likely turn out like this:

 

He was ripping out the fence out back and trying to haul his Dad’s rototiller up the steep incline that is our back yard. He waited two and a half months to get the thing from the repair shop he had it running long enough to get it to the back yard and the thing stopped running! After two and a half month of waiting and $170.00 Wuby was a little grumpy. Understandably. Now he has to haul the thing back and wait and wait and hope that they really do fix it this time.

Stupid rototiller. Can you see the almost 90 degree incline he was heaving that thing up? Sheesh!

I returned in doors to find my real feline friend was entertaining my bestie as well as the animated one.

The day ended and I went off to work the next morning wishing I could spend a little more time with my bestie…then my oil light came on and my car started vibrating…It was the excuse I needed. I took my car into the shop...after I had coffee and breakfast with my best-y ;n )

Turns out it just needed an oil change

As well as a $600 break job. Grrr….
