FunkyB, sorry to keep you out of the loop...

FunkyB kindly reminded me that I had not posted in a long time so here goes.

We spent Sunday evening with Jeni & Joe. We took Kali over to play with their dog and let the kids play for awhile. It was awesome. We hadn’t seen them in a long time. We always end up doing the food thing with them and ended up at a super cheap buffet where the kids actually got their money’s worth, which is rare.

Went to The Beach waterpark on Wednesday. It rained and a lot of people left so when the sun came out again, everything was a walk-on. It was great. None of us had ever been there before and we got to ride everything. Sky was excited because he was tall enough to ride all the slides and was brave enough as well.

Mau is temporarily working back at the restaurant. Hopefully we will be able to afford the car payment now. I also found out that my health insurance is going up nearly 50% so an extra $100 per month…it really never ends. Mau does have a couple prospects in the job market, surprisingly back in his field so we’ll see how those pan out.

The car is great and I have been driving quite a bit because of it. It’s got some fanciness the Jetta lacked but that Jetta hauls ass in the snow and purrs like a kitten as long as it’s going a solid 80 mph…any slower and it wasn’t at peak performance and tended to let you know. I think it might be a fuel pump issue but still hasn’t been in the shop but since I’m a mechanic and all…Ha! All my expert knowledge gets me is knowing no repair will be less than $600.

I have been taking Kali to the dog park. I finally got to meet Kari’s doggies and all the people Kari talks about. Apparently she talks about me and Kali to all these people too because they were all “Oh, so glad to finally meet you.” And “Oh, this is Kali?”. It was funny. Now I’m walking in there like it’s Cheers…these dog people are nuts.
