Automotive 101

SO, what did you do this morning?
Me, I got to stick my hand and most of my arm into this fuel tank!
yep. right into that hole in the middle.
was it full of gas? of COURSE. Why would you want to stick your arm into a fuel tank if it was empty? Where's the fun in that? And if it was empty, I wouldn't have the fun of walking around smelling like a mechanic all day!
yes, i smell. all day. still.
gas is not an easy smell to get rid of. no matter how many times you wash and no matter how many bath and body soaps you use and no matter how much lotion you apply. or perfume. you think you have it gone but...an hour later...its back.
I am VERY grateful for a husband who has to do this kind of stuff everyday and never complains. (even though I sometimes do. about the smell.)

Oh, why did I do this? well, Jim had to change out the fuel pump on the Suburban and he dropped a magnet thing into it on accident. And I needed to find and remove the "float" that is in there. The float is what reads how much gas you have. - there's your auto 101 lesson.
oh...i did NOT find and remove either of those. So to top it off, I smell for nothing!

This tank is huge. Amy, i think my adventure trumps your head lamp adventure. even though you looked cuter. However, Tara...you win hands down in the "putting you hand/arms into places they should NEVER go" category! (even though you probably smelt better than me after a good washing!)


And thank you to my totally HOT hubby for fixing my car! (again)
I love that he can fix anything. You rock baby!

Did I mention how much I love this guy!?

At night, it helps me sleep, when I remember how lucky I am to have so many smart friends!

Seriously!

First off, Tara still smells.
Seriously.


Secondly, you would have won had you been wearing the headlamp while sticking your hand in said fuel tank.

Thirdly, I am still in counseling that you and Tara had lunch together AND THEN went out to dinner AND A MOVIE without inviting me.

Yes, I feel like I am in third grade and Jenny Spector and Sara Ady had a slumber party without me.

done.

I smelled your arm yesterday and I thought it smelled a bit like roses.

Dinner and movie with someone else?? Whats up with that? I thought you loved me.

I may need the counselor's name from Mrs. Timberlake.

I have heard pregnancies make Tara a little co dependent.

wait, you knew, right?




did i let something out of the bag?




hope not.

Tara said...

Wow! I tune in to find myself the main attraction!

First of all, Mrs. Timberlake, I made your girls tutu dresses right after saving the world! So take a deep breath of goat va-jaejae, cuz it's all over your girls!

Oh and Staci, I SO can't wait for our girls night tonight! I don't know why you are so adament about no one else coming with us, but whatever. I guess I don't care since you bribed me with paying for our night out including my babysitter. You always sound so frantic when you think we will be separated, I just can't seem to break your heart.

Oh and Amy, say hi to Sara Ady and Jenny Spector for me. I haven't seen them since.....................Oh it must have been about in third grade at that awesome slumber party they had! Oh man, that was the slumber party of all slumber parties! Those were the days.

Last of all, I don't know who keeps getting the news all mixed up, but I'm now a certified midwife who takes care of the dirty business during pregnancy. So, this summer while we are at the family week at morman lake, I will be happy to give both you and Staci an oil check or two, just to make sure everything is good with the babies.

Love you both, see you tonight Stace!
