Everythings Coming Up Roses... except for the Clagswell Lawn Mower...

Well readers as you know Wednesday is the day I take my Grand mother to the beauty shop! GOD help us all if she isn't in that chair by 1:00!  Yesterday was also the first yard mow of the year for grandma, which i dread because of her lawn mower...

Its a good 30 years old (and even new it wasn't all that great)  A few weeks ago, my dad gave it a long over due tune up, and he said "Everything should work now, the next thing to go out will be that front tire..." WHY I didn't change it then I will never know.... So as I push the lawn mower out of the barn, OF COURSE that tire goes *POP WHOOOOOOOOOSH!*  seriously this mower has more problems than Mr Douglas' Clagswell tractor on Green Acres.

This is NOT my grandmas mower, but it may as well be! Haha the red arrow shows the tire that went flat. So I load grandma in the car and off we go to Atwoods (redneck walmart) to find a new tired. Once I find the right size and tread with no help form any of the 20 some odd  employees standing around... Grandma turns her nose up at the fact its $21.45, we buy it and then I had to run over to Walmart (redneck H.E.B.)  because I needed to pick up the $7 "Rocky Horror Picture Show" dvd while they were on sale for a Drive-In party were having later this month. Next to walmart is a Goodwill, but I didnt want to go... STRANGE I know.. so grandma says "What gives? Your not going to Goodwill? Are you sick?!" So I pull into Goodwill and boy was I glad I did!

I have been searching for a shelf or small table to store movies in Turquoise room, but iv been VERY picky about what I get lol. However when I saw this GOLD  geometric wall shadow box I snatched it up!  I was thinking to myself "ya know that might just work"  I picked up a dvd and WHAT DO YA KNOW?! A Perfect fit.  The sticker on it was for $4.99 and I just so happened to have $5.80 -Thank you Goodwill God's 

 It can hold 40 dvd's! Im thrilled and can't wait to get it hung in the room! Then I fought the stupid tire on the lawn mower trying to get it off the rim, after 2 hours of fighting, and a good pop in the face form the pry bar id had enough. I took it to our local shop feeling kind of guilty because I was doing what my dad calls "throwing money at a problem" however at the shop, it took 3 grown burly men to get that little tire off its rim. It was SO worth the $5 not to have a 'butt chewing' as we call them in my family with dad
