The World According to Leslie

This weekend, the plans are a little less blurring than last weekend.   If it doesn’t get cancelled because of rain, we have softball practice tonight.   We have a game tomorrow at 12:30pm.   Then I have nothing…. absolutely nothing…to do the rest of the day!   And I’m okay with that!   If it does rain tonight, and practice gets cancelled, we are going to watch the staff from the Princess’s school play the staff from another elementary school in basketball.  It’s to help buy school supplies for the two schools!   I need to take my van to have it checked.  For some reason the “Check Engine” light came on in my “new to me” van yesterday.  God knew what He was doing when He let us get the other car fixed and inspected last week.  I had to drive it to work yesterday and I will today too!  (Tony and I didn’t get home in time yesterday to have it checked!)   Other than that…. I am going to get some rest th...

My wonderful Monte Carlo is getting some much needed rest!  As you know, Tony and I recently got a 2nd vehicle.  We have been needing one since….well….since the Princess was born!  (She has always had a busy schedule—dance, Girl Scouts, baseball/softball, gymnastics, school.  We have always needed a 2nd vehicle.   So now we have one, but the Monte Carlo needed some love.  It has some things that need work before it can be inspected.    It is getting that love today.  I just really hope that the guy gets it done before Friday.  We have WAAAAAAAAY too much to do this weekend to only have one car!     Hopefully, he will call today and let us know that he has loved on her and gotten her ready to come back home!       42 days…. and counting!

Have you ever put your car in neutral and let it coast?    We've all done it.  Roll it down the hill, push it into the gas station (when you run out), or whatever! So on Wednesday, I picked up the Princess after work and we came home.  I pulled into the driveway.  All this is normal so far...right? I changed gears on the car.  I started getting my phone off the charger.  Packed up stuff in my purse to bring it in the house.  Got my house key out. Looked up and realized we were rolling. Right about the time I hit the brakes, my car bumped into the garage door.  Luckily at 2 MPH it doesn't do a lot of damage.  It just makes you feel SO STUPID!  Instead of putting the car in park, I slid it into neutral.  Good thing I was further back in the driveway than I usually am.  We would have hit the door much sooner, and I would not have been hitting the brakes. The garage door still opens.  There is a...
