Truck Update

We haven’t heard anything from the police, so no sign of the truck for going on 5 days now. I almost don’t want it back, but we found out that our insurance only covers up to $200 worth of personal property in the vehicle, and that doesn’t even start to cover even one piece of equipment for the mobile detailing business that Matt had… so frustrating!

I have no idea how they got into the truck, especially since I think they stole it around 8:30 pm, a totally normal time with people out and about still. We went to play basketball at 8:45 ish but didn’t drive past the truck, so we might have even been home when they stole it. I think someone had been watching it, knew all the equipment was in there, plus it’s a nice truck with brand new tires (just bought them in late July). We get 60 days of a rental car, but we have to wait 20 days to hear if the truck shows back up again.. then they start the process of replacing it for what it’s worth… what could that be? Blue book? High, low? No idea. Grrr.

Attention Car Thieves!

Dear car thieves that stole our four-door Ford F-350 diesel truck, with a lift kit and brand new tires, plus a huge water tank in the bed, along with other car detailing equipment like a generator and power washer,

Do you think you could have taken a more conspicuous vehicle? I hope the police find you, and I hope you get arrested for not only stealing our truck out of our own parking spot, but for using the stolen credit cards that were also in the truck.

What did you possibly buy for $1,300 at WalMart last night? Or $100 at TMobile? Or $150 at Sunflower Market. I know you bought at least $300 in fuel and if you keep that truck much longer I'm sure you'll spend far more in diesel.

Off to file an official police report.

Hungry Girl - this is so me!

My favorite new site is Hungry Girl - they have recipes, ideas for watching calories, and it's sort of based on WW points so it makes sense to me. All for us girls who like to eat but dont want to feel bad about it in the morning. :)

Check it out!

From Hi to Hello

The voice you hear is our babysitter Rachel - she was taking some photos for a young women's activity and caught Claire with her new word - well, it's pretty close to Hello, so I'm counting it :)

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
Just finished it - I had to, since I read the other three books in the series. I liked it, but not as much as the first book. If you read the others you have to finish the story out - just do it :)

City Baby

Claire did not really want to experience the beauty of Idaho, at least from a sensory perspective. She hated the feel of grass on her legs and tried desperately to lift them off the ground. This was the closest she got...


But at least she sat quietly and suffered through the grass. I tried to put her feet into sand at the beach at Red Fish Lake - tried both wet and dry sand - and she started to cry. Guess she just wanted to be pushed around on the sidewalk in her stroller or crawl around on the carpet instead... man-made materials for this kid.
