This site is dedicated to my ever loving bratty children, my tolerant husband and well to my friends who support me in so many ways even when we don't speak for years. Cheers - to the beautiful and not so beautiful passings in our lives. In other words - those moments when life is painful and all you can do is laugh until you cry (or pee)!

Mini Vacation and Dead Hamsters

Wow - what a great weekend.

It started on Friday when I was preparing to leave the house to take Amber my sister in law Shelly and her two kiddos on vacation to Colorado Springs. I went to make sure Mallory's Hamster Chubbs had food. He wasn't in his cage. I called Mallory who was with my brother Zach, Zach says that Mallory saw a mouse in her room and went and got the cat to catch it...... We now know - Mallory "sicked" the cat on the hamster (by accident)................ oops, the cat ate the hamster.

So I leave for the Springs we go to the hotel and have fun eating dinner and swimming in the pool. Saturday morning I go out to the car and start it................... my high tech car says "STOP ENGINE IMMEDIATELY COOLANT PROBLEM"................ Crap......

So I call around looking for a rental car, a repair shop or a priest....... my husband Ron is in Las Vegas and I don't want to bother him with any problems... I finally got hold of a Midas repair shop and they said it is OK to drive it across the street to their shop as long as it isn't overheating. I call my credit card company to see how much money I have available just in case it costs a lot.......... $3,500 should cover it right??

I drive it over, it will be 2 hours to change the oil and check the radiator..... we walk to a Villiage Inn to eat breakfast and plan to go rent a car for the remainder of our trip....... after breakfast we are walking back toward Midas and they call to tell me the car is ready and it was low on coolant, I paid my $60 and was off to continue my mini-vacation. GREAT!

We went to Cave of the Winds (VERY COOL)! We went to go see the movie Meet the Robinson's - I would like to tell you how it was but I think I fell asleep.

Today we went to Garden of the Gods and it was beautiful, if you haven't been there....... you should go!!

Now I am home waiting to go to work for the night............

Love you all!!!!

Other than the dead hamster, sounds like a blast of a weekend! I love Garden of the Gods, we used to go there a lot as kids.

LOL, Mallory fed the hamster to the cat! I bet the cat is happy with the deal.

It sounds like you had a nice vacation since the car crisis wasn't a crisis. I actually never made it to those places in the Springs. How sad is that!
