Rocky Raccoon strikes back

Apparently initial diagnosis was not so accurate, probably because it was done in the dark of early evening...  I know this is off topic but I don't like night coming at 6:00!  OK, back to my poor car.  When I killed poor Rocky, it did a lot more damage than I had hoped.  The black plastic skirt thing that goes under most cars these days is shattered.  The radiator is dented and pushed into the air conditioner coils.  I vaguely have some clue of what my fiance and dad mean when they say all these words to me, and my small amount of knowledge knows it's gonna cost me. :(  Dad thinks he and FB could fix it, but parts might be pretty close to my deductible anyway.  If that's the case we'll just let insurance deal with it after my deductible.  This kinda put a damper on my Friday evening.  Do you ever feel just a tad overwhelmed??  I'm there now.   Thankfully FB is amazing and pulls me back to Earth every time I start to skyrocket.  It's just piling up a tad bit more than I like to let things pile.  Car, engagement pics, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Christmas presents!, wedding, work, fixing up FB's house, moving in with FB this summer.  I know I'm skipping ahead a few months, but that's how my brain goes.  So needless to say, Rocky I'm not sorry!  Hehe, ok I'm kidding.  Please don't send PETA after me.  I'm going to slow down and worry about this week, let next week worry about itself til I get there.

Rocky Raccoon meets his maker...

So I killed a raccoon last night on the way to Farmboy's house. :(  It's the first time I've ever killed anything with my car!  He was scurrying across the highway with one of his little furry friends, his friend kept right on going.  However, Rocky raccoon decided to chance fate and turn tail and run...  Fate caught up with him by way of my right front bumper. 

Then my car decided it didn't like being a murderer, so it overheated!  Luckily I could see FB's driveway.  I walked in his door and said, "I killed a raccoon, and it killed my car."  Followed by tears.  Of course this confused the FB, but he handled it well.  He handed me his keys and said we'd check it out and I'd take his car until it was taken care of...  And now we realize one more reason why I'm so crazy in love with this man!

Hopefully, if FB's initial diagnosis holds, it's just a small leak or hose.  Something that won't cost an arm and a leg.  I wonder what my insurance lady would say if I told her a raccoon killed my car?  I really hope it won't be bad enough to mess with insurance.  Going to call my dad after school to find out what he thinks.  My life... never dull.  Not always fun, but never dull.  Hope y'all had a better Wednesday evening. 

We found THE One!!

Bought my dress today!  I'm so excited to have something finished!  I'd love to post a gazillion pictures of it, but FB would see... we don't want that!  If you're curious shoot me an email and I'll email pics to ya.  We looked at bridesmaids dresses a little bit too.  One of my nieces went with us too, so we looked at jr. bridesmaids dresses for her.  Both nieces will be candle lighters.  I found some of those that I love!  And I can post them.  yay!

These are all Forever Bridals dresses from foreverbridals.com   Just picture all of them in turquise/tealy kind of color.  Probably with a brown sash.  Or possibly brown with teal sash.  Very bright and fun.

Family Dinner

We try to have dinner at my parents house once a week or 2.  Tonight was family night.  My brother and his family brought Chick-fil-a! YUM!  It was their elementary school's night where proceeds help their school, so it was an easy choice.  We got to talking about our Christmas lists.  Farmboy couldn't think of much of anything... He's just a tad bit difficult to shop for.  Not as bad as other guys I know.  My dad is hard to shop for.  Anyway, I'm getting off track.  My post was more about what y'all want for Christmas.  Please do share... What's on your lists??
