Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th, and Thak bought out our local Advanced Auto Parts. OK, so he didn't really buy out the store, but he may as well have. We needed two carts to get all the stuff we got out to the car. Thank goodness for military discounts!!

I can't complain, though. He's giving the truck a major tune-up, replacing basically everything on it, before our drive to Texas in a month. He did the O2 sensors last weekend, and also the spark plugs. Now he's doing ALL the fluids, the brakes, the serpentine belt, ALL the filters, and probably some other stuff I forgot to mention. It's a lot of work. Thank goodness for 4 day weekends!

It's going to rain soon, though, so we're probably going to have to clear out room in the garage to bring the truck in there so he can still get this stuff done before Tuesday. We've been busy all morning. We had to bring his phone back to the Verizon store because the screen has this weird green line through it. They told us to come back at 4:00 because they didn't have any in stock. Apparently, the Blackberry Storm is a hot item for Ft. Stewart soldiers!! I can't say I blame them. Although it's lucky I didn't send the rebates off yet, so we've still got the box and everything, and can just take it all back in a little while, and do a one for one swap.

Once that's done, Thak will be working on the truck for most of the weekend, probably, which completely eliminates the possibility of doing much for Valentine's Day this year. Although it's not like we really had big plans anyhow... we do have a 7-week-old baby, after all! Still, any day spent getting one more thing ready for our big move is a good day as far as I'm concerned.
