Last night, Jess and I went to see Underworld with Joel, Emily and Josh. Jess didn’t like it at all and got very bored. But I thought it was great. Then again, any movie that involves attractive women, pale faces, and sharp pointy teeth will intrigue me. I have a thing for vampires.
Today, we’re leaving at dawn to go to my parent’s house. Then it’s off to the Alliance airshow. My sister is way into airplanes, so they were going, and we decided to go with them. I haven’t been to an airshow in a while, so I think it should be a good time. I don’t mind getting up so early, as I would have probably been up already, but Jess doesn’t usually like it. She’s doing pretty well so far, having got up with me at 5:30am instead of sleeping until the last minute like I assumed she would. Plus, on the up side, I told her we’d stop to get Breakfast Taquitos at Whataburger. I think that might be her only motivation.
If I remember, I’ll be bringing one of my knives to my dad’s so he can fix it for me. I dropped it onto a hard floor a while ago, and the tip got bent just a bit. Hopefully, also, I’ll be able to get a Chilton’s manual for the 4runner today so I can take a multi-meter to all the sensors and see if any of them are acting up. I may also try to pull a spark plug or two today, if I’m ambitious. Car repair scares me a bit, and I’ve never really done more than Breaks, Alternators, and Batteries. But, I should be able to handle it. Maybe I can talk Dad into helping out. I always feel better if someone’s there with me, regardless of their knowledge level. And my Dad knows a lot more about cars than me, so that’s a bonus.
Then, tomorrow morning, Jess starts her first day of training at her new job. It’s weird to think of Jess working. But, it’s a good thing. It’ll give her something to do during the days, and bring in some extra cash to help us loosen our belts a bit.
