popped two new teeth

His number 3 canines recently. I noticed it this morning. He's also been loving himself in the mirror! Too cute. Yesterday, we met Gramma Julie at the Toyota dealership because I needed to have some maintenance done on the Scion before Deb, Brian, Diego and I go to West Virginia. It was pouring down rain. We went for lunch at Applebees. Diego was driving the fuss bus over the speed limit without a seat belt. It all turned out alright but my nerves were shot, when all was said and done. I need to be more vigilant about eating breakfast and not just drinking coffee all morning.

Toyota gave me some bad news about my brakes. They were at five percent so the total bill was gonna be $450!! So the car is still there now and I have to pick it up today. 30,000 mile service, spark plugs and new front brake pads. Thank goodness I had a check from Mercy hospital waiting for me at Grandpa and Laura's place. I guess I overpaid for my colonoscopy and they cut me a refund check. Well, there goes that moolah! Oh well, safety first.


Deb works at an autopart store and said my brake pads only cost about $17 and Brian could have put them on for free. ACK! I am not used to being around car fixing types. Jason and I helpless on that front.

So Mom and I killed time getting fancy coffee drinks while Diego napped in the back seat. After getting high on caffeine and sugar, we strolled through Value City Furniture and let Diego run around in there. He loved it. They gave him a balloon. I got an appointment for them to come look at my new couch which has developed a pronounced sag. If they can't fix it we have to pick out a different one because they discontinued said saggy couch. Wonder why?

Then we went to the thrift store and looked at sweaters because this San Diego family is lacking warm clothes and the temperature is dropping.
