It's Friday and I'm back to Fragging so hold on to your seat belts and let's get this show on the road!!
I mentioned awhile back that I needed new tires. I REALLY needed new tires. My car {Er, SUV} is a 2006 and it's never had the tires replaced. We've known for awhile now that we needed to replace them but we've been putting it off and putting it off. Tires are EXPENSIVE, man!! The outside of the tires were bald, too. I was SO thankful that last year we had a really mild winter, meaning NO SNOW. So we made it through that.

Anywho, a couple of weeks ago, I was home after my externship and Kyle came home but then he was spending all this time outside. I was getting a bit irritated because I was going to have to go to bed soon and he'd barely said two words to me. I sent him a text {since I didn't want to go outside. LOL} and said that I was going to bed soon. He didn't respond. I went to the front window and looked outside and I saw my neighbor, a bright light, the trunk of my car open and one of the back doors open. I was thinking WTH?! So I went downstairs to the laundry room {because the door the garage is in there} and looked to see what was going on but I couldn't see much cuz the boat was in the way. But Kyle told me that they were replacing my back tire with the spare. What? Why?! Then I HAD to go outside {in my lovely pj's and no bra on, mind you}. I ventured outside with a sweatshirt on and my arms crossed and the guys showed me my tire. You could see the wheel through the tire! It was >this close< to blowing out. Considering I'd been driving 60+ miles a day, it could've ended badly!
I later asked Kyle what prompted them to look at my tire and he said he didn't know. Well I know! The Big Man upstairs was watching out for me, that's who! I drove around with the spare tire on for a few days and then Kyle took my car in to have the tires replaced once they'd come in {since he had to special order them}. I'm SO SO SO thankful that my guys were making sure that I was safe! My neighbor is one in a million too! So thankful that he was able to help Kyle out!

Last night I went over to my sisters to watch my nephews while her and her hub went to an event at her salon. I got to spend a bit of time with the boys since it's been awhile. Kingston went pee on the potty! And I fell in love with their new puppy! She's an 8 week old Weimeriner and they named her Olive...or Wolive, as Kingy calls her. Heehee She is the biggest snuggle bug EVER!
Then when my sister and BIL got home, we stood and talked in the kitchen and she kept coming over and laying at my feet, or ON my feet. SO SWEET!!! LOVE. HER.
Now Kyle's trying to talk me into getting another puppy and I would totally jump on that bandwagon if we had the time and money. As it is, we DON'T have the money for sure and time isn't exactly flowing from us right now either. Some day.

Kyle and my cousin started tearing down my mom's deck yesterday. In the process, Kyle smashed his finger between two boards and ripped the tip of his finger almost off. Know what he did? Folded it back over and TAPED IT!!! WHY do men think that's an OK solution?! I swear, he tries to give me a heart attack on a regular basis!

My BFF, Riika has a newish blog. Will you go and show her some love? You can find her at The Little Things. It's about their life living in Japan. The history of how they got there can be found here.

Fall has found us. The weather has been cooler {even though we didn't even get much of a summer so that's not saying much}, the leaves are turning colors and the holidays are upon us. Ahhhh!!! LOL I'm NOT ready yet!

Kyle thinks I don't love him anymore because I keep falling asleep on the couch and staying there all night. I'm not the only one that does this, right? But if he tries to get me to go to bed, I fight him because he's waking me up so he, most of the time, doesn't even try. Plus, our couch is comfy. I love it!

Are you watching Dancing With The Stars? I love Rick Fox and Kurt Warner, the athletes. I always love seeing the big, burly men get out there and shake their groove thang! I'm glad that Margaret Cho is gone. She was just awkward to watch, although not as awkward as it was watching Kate from John & Kate + 8!

Today is a Teacher In-Service day or something like that so I don't have class tonight. Yay!! But a few of us are going to get together at Alfy's pizza {and local girls...Eve...they have GLUTEN-FREE crust!!!} and we're going to study heart rhythms. Be jealous. Be very jealous!
Kailani says: In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
My question is:
What are some of your Fall traditions?
An Island Life for Aloha Friday!
and
Half-Past Kissin' Time for Friday Fragments.
Have a fantabulous weekend everyone!!!
