I am soooo not happy with the Blue Beast!!!

As you know, I have been counting down to finally getting to meet my great niece! We were planning on going to Arkansas on Friday. But nooooooo! The Blue Beast had other ideas! Normally, I refer to my mini-van as the Blue Beauty, but right now, she is the Blue Beast!!!

It started out Thursday morning with the check engine light coming on, then by that afternoon, while running errands in Tulsa traffic, it decided to die and continue to die each and every time I would get it started back up! It was 105 degrees outside, I was stuck in traffic over on the side of town very close to the PGA, so you can only imagine just how many cars were on the road that day! It took me over 45 minutes to get the Blue Beast to the dealership, which on a good day would have only taken me 20 minutes! Matt came and picked me up and took me home! Forget going back to work! Then Matt had to go back and pick up Chris at work and take him to the dealership. Well 4 hours later, the Blue Beast is road worthy again! However, there was no way I was going to take it on a 6 hour trip, in over 100 degree temperatures up in the Ozarks! So, I didn't get to meet my great niece! I am totally bummed out! Maybe one day I will get to meet her, hopefully it won't be until she graduates from High School!

So, what did we do? We hung out! We did catch a movie, Transformers! What an awesome movie! But other than that, we hung out! Not what I had planned, but we got to spend some time with Matt just hanging out!
