Jesus. $255.
No...not THE Jesus for $255. Jesus - my fucking air conditioner just cost $255 to fix! I guess I shouldn't bitch - we had the money since hubs got a little bonus this year. But still...$255 for 20 minutes? I need a job like that. :D
Here's the breakdown of the bill:
$85 A/C Diagnostic
$85 1 hour tech services (I love it - ONE HOUR...HA!)
$45 Capacitor that went bad
$40 1LB R22 refrigerant - and he couldn't find the leak
Grand Total: $255

Memory Wire Bracelet with Charm
On my other blog, I See Through Glass, I said I'd post a pic of another memory wire bracelet I made. I didn't want to post it over there since I'd already posted my pic for that day...so here it is on this blog:

Sometimes you have to prove things to yourself
and today was one of those days for me. I haven't ridden any length worth mentioning since April 7...today is April 26. Something is wrong with the air conditioning in the house and it's like 87+ degrees outside, thus hot in the house...and moods were flaring around here. So I took that as a sign to get my big ass out of the ass and on a ride. I was going to do my normal 8+ mile ride around Fuquay, but really really wanted to see if I could do 10. I knew if I challenged myself I could probably do it.
I got around Fuquay and back to my neighborhood with no problem - in fact, I purposely passed my street entrance and went to the neighborhood behind mine because I wanted those extra miles. I got to 8.6 and thought I was gonna fall off my bike. So I stopped, drank some water (I drank close to 100oz of water on my ride today - it was HOT and I was sweating like the cow I am), and rested for a couple minutes, then went on my way. 8/10 of a mile later, I was telling myself that "I can't do this...I really can't do this"...then it was "shut up and ride bitch! You can do this!" So I rode up the hill toward my house...another 1/10 of a mile and really really considered giving up. But I didn't. Instead, I rode around at a nice pace for the last 7/10 of a mile and was thrilled to see TEN MILES pop up on my cyclometer.
I rode for over an hour...it may not sound like much to some, but for me, it's a marker in my riding showing that I CAN ride 10 miles - and it wasn't all flat.
I'm proud of myself. And fucking sweating my ass off!
On a side note, I've got a good farmer's tan going and some really cool tan lines from my Keens on my feet. Pictures coming soon. :P

So ready for vacation
I am SO READY for our upcoming vacation! We're starting out flying into Albuquerque and immediately driving up to Farmington, NM. From there, we're going to hang out in Moab, UT for a couple days...we're going to Arches, Canyonlands and doing a sunset Humvee tour on Hell's Revenge. After Moab, we're headed to Mesa Verde for a few hours, then to Durango. In Durango, hubs will do a train ride up to Silverton and I'll meet him there a few hours later. After that it's back down to Albuquerque to stay the night and fly back home the next day.
We actually just changed our trip around a bit. I was looking at the trip schedule and realized how tightly scheduled we were...and I decided to talk to hubs about changing it. So now we're relaxing more and are a bit less scheduled. We dropped going to Chaco Canyon because it's pretty far out of the way, and I'm kind of bummed about that. But a vacation shouldn't be stressful...and it was my idea to drop it. So I think this way will work nicely. Plus it's a few hours less total driving time than the other way we had it planned.

Jewelry Stuff
To date, I have made 21 different bracelets and 11 different necklaces. Today I covered a small cork board with purple fabric that I had and made a display out of it. I put this shiny purple tulle on it and hung some stuff up on it.
I also covered the floral foam I made my other smaller displays out of with the same purple material.
In other news, I discovered memory wire today. That stuff ROCKS.
