you will have to excuse me. i have to go pick my husband up from the auto shop. his car is in there for the third time this week.
we don’t know why it keeps refusing to start.
and we are already over $1400 in.
and i am just really bitter about the whole thing.
and i don’t feel like blogging.
hey, at least i am honest.
one thing though, before i go…
i got some mystery mail!
[source.]
i came home to find a package addressed to me.. but it did not say who it was from.
so i opened it.
behold:
AN ICE CREAM RECIPE BOOK?! and i just so happened to get an ice cream maker! i am over the moon excited about this book!
now, the real question is.. who sent it to me? come on, i know it was one of you.
fess up.
i leave you with photos of my dogs eating huge bones, because that always makes me smile. and so does mystery mail.. so thank you, whoever mailed it.
here’s to better luck tomorrow.

Oof, girl I am soooo sorry to hear about your car troubles. Consequently, I can’t wait to see what you make out of that book, and the dogs with bones are the bestest as always. Love you, lady! xoxo
AWESOME gift!! i wonder who got it for you?!?!?
AWww, car troubles are the worst!
What a sweet little surprise. Looks like you have a secret admirer who shares your love of ice cream. Lucky girl!!
I didn’t send you the book. But I have it. And it’s Gigi’s favorite book, no lie.
bah! Why are cars so expensive? Hope it gets figured out. And could your puppers be any cuter?
Jealous of your secret package. Alas, I did not send it.
Well I sure hope the mystery mail brightened your day after the car troubles…and your precious pups, of course :)
Sorry about your car troubles :( I hate it when stuff like that happens!
Aww, car trouble is such a bummer. Repair prices are outrageous and theres really nothing you can do about it. I don’t blame you for not being in the mood to blog!
A rock hit my windshield on the way home, so I have to get that fixed because with the cold it’ll spread REALLY quickly. I HATE cars!
Car trouble is the worst… my husband’s was declared totaled yesterday :(
On a side note, my dogs TOTALLY have that same dog bed from Costco!!
Sorry about the car troubles. :( I hope it gets fixed!
That’s a wonderful surprise! How sweet of someone to send you that!
YAY!!!!!!!! You got it!!! It was from me, but I couldn’t figure out how to put in a gift card note thingy, so I was waiting until I saw that you got it because I didn’t want to ruin the surprise. :)
I figured if you have an ice cream machine, you HAVE to have that “cookbook.” The two chocolate recipes will rock.your.world.
Love you!
Car problems are the worst!!! That ice cream book looks amazing…you are going to have to share some of your creations with me:)
Pippin has the same dog bed! Costco… holla!
eeek, I’ve been there. Hope the car is back for good! But on a better note, I LOVE THE PUPS!

I hope the car troubles go away!! $1200 and a new wire harness later, my car runs again….NOT covered by my warranty (total crap). They think it was an act of God basically because they have no explanation of how it could have happened, the only thing they do know is that it wasn’t a malfunction of the part..riiiiight.
Hope you have a better day tomorrow!!
Today was a shitty day all around. Mystery mail would help! Haha glad you got something to perk up your day.
Ben is a master at fixing anything with an engine. Let me know if you need advice. :)
I’m sorry about your husband’s car. Car trouble sucks and it sucks ass even more when it starts racking up in the $$. Hope it gets resolved soon. Your doggies are adorable! I just bought my Maddie-poo a bone like those and I swear to God, I don’t thinks he realizes it’s a bone to eat because all she does it carry the darn thing with her around the house.
girl you are talking to the QAWEEN of car problems. 2 years of owning it the engine lght just went off i’ve put about 2,000 in the car and it has a new problem every week and not to mention i thought it couldnt get any worse and i was getting gas the other day and the gas guy hands me my credit card and a piece of my bumper that apparently fell off. FAIL.
I know you may laugh this off as hocus pocus…but…the moon was full yesterday and mechanical issues are notorious around full moon time, appliances breaking, computer glitches, in the week/days leading up to the full moon. So you can call me crazy, but just sayin’ :)
And the real question is HOW did this person know your addy and WHO sent it. Great little book…but also great to figure out who knows where you live!! You can tell im a little paranoid :)
I think I’m with this lady on the full moon thing – stupid leaks, stupid cars….
PS Leo is jealous of that bone…it may be just his size though…
Good luck with the car!
Those pup pics make my heart melt. OMG, you’re killing me.
And we have that ice cream book!!! We make homemade ice cream in the summer all the time. :)
Awesome gift!!! yayaya! It came at perfect timing too, eh? So sorry to hear about your car troubles. i swear i hate those more than the monthly bills that continue to come the MINUTE they cash your check. ugh. Hope they can fix it right this time.
awwwww Terri sent that to you I saw in the comment she left, how sweet! It came on the right day too!
Im sorry about the car troubles, I wish i lived somewhere that I could walk everywhere and not have a car, Im serious, car troubles is one of my worst fears, and when it happens Im a wreck : p
Can we pretend that it was from me? Would that get me ice cream? ;)
What a FUN surprise!! :)
So sorry to hear about Marshall’s car :( Hopefully the third time’s a charm!
Sorry about the car troubles. I am not good with cars, I sure wish I was…life would be easier, haha
Ice cream book?? NICE
Ay chihuahua, that just blows. The car thing of course, not the ice cream cookbook goodie. But then again, that could kinda make up for the car thing. Well, only if you plan on making $1400 worth of ice cream meals and then if so, please invite me over!
Can I please spoon with Penelope? She is just the sweetest thing ever, her eyes kill me-I wouldn’t be able to refuse that face.
In the words of Tupac-You gotta keep yo chin up!
Oh rats on the car problems…..but wow, Terri’s a keeper for sending you that awesome cookbook – is my favorite in there coffee heath bar crunch??!!?!? Sure hope so, yummmm.
LOVE the photos of those darling pups with “their” bones (bet you never chew on their bones or hide them in your closet!) :) xoxo
BLA mysetery car trouble blows!
I love that you have a rando kettlebell sitting in the middle of your floor :)
Ohh mystery mail sounds like fun! :)
God is wonderful…just when you need it most, He sends you an awesome package through an angel.
Sadly, I’m not that angel, though I would totally love to send you quirky gifts, too. I wonder who it was? :-)
Cars are money pits, seriously, its like having a child!
Girl, I feel honored YOU sent me a mystery package! I bragged about it a few posts ago, don’t know if you caught it but I’m SO thankful for it!
yes! i did. i thought i commented on that post?
Sorry to hear about your car issues! But isn’t it amazing how things like the book tend to show up on our door step just when we need them. You are one lucky blessed girl! Hope tomorrow is a great day for you J.
car troubles are just so frustrating…rank right up there with computer problems. both suck away good humour!! good luck with marshall’s car!
that’s so fun to receive a surprise gift! my friend totally surprised me with a cookbook in the mail this week, too. totally made my day. love random acts of kindness.
hope today is better for you – it’s friday! that’s a start! :)
oh man, i HATE car issues! i’m so sorry y’all have had to deal with that 3 times already this week. i would have to just sell the car and hope for something better at this point….
An ICE CREAM RECIPE BOOK?! You lucky girl…
I’m sorry to hear about the car troubles. That is the story of my life. I have had nothing but problems with my car since the day I bought it brand new. So I totally know how frustrating and annoying it is. I hope things get better! :)
Love the ice cream recipe book! Your dogs are so cute :)
Hope you’re feeling better today!
Love you!! xoxox
Aw, so sorry about your car!!! BUT your dog is cutie ;)
don’t worry, dear, the sun will come out tomorrow :)
enjoy your surprise package! :)
xo.
We were without my husband’s car for three weeks and just got it back. Cars are such a pain! I hope it gets fixed for reals, and soon (and for no more $, grrrr). Big hugs.
I’m sorry about your car troubles. They are so frustrating because you don’t know how to fix them!
On a happier note, I love the bone that Randy has. I give those to my dog and she carries it around like she has a cigar in her mouth. It cracks me up!
Love pupper pics!!! I take waaay too many pics of my dog…and post them!!!
Mystery package…fun and scary?!
I think someone is trying to make you fat! :)
ugh! I feel your pain. I hope it works out for you, car troubles are the worst!
awww I hope things get better! Car troubles are the worst! I must say, though, BEST mystery mail ever :)
Ugh car issues!! I hate that repair shops will continue to charge you for random ish even though they haven’t fixed the problem! Like, give me a quote to fix the problem not make me pay xyz then come back and pay xyz times 2!!
Well, if there’s anything that could make $1400 worth of car damage better, I’m pretty sure it’s ice cream. Hopefully today is better for you!!
uggh- I’ve had car troubles this week ($500) and the boyfriend ($1200). I feel your pain :(
I hope today is better!!!
where did you get that cute rug penny is laying on? i love it!
i hope the car issue gets fixed asap. on a side note, there’s always biking! well, maybe not in the current weather conditions. okay, disregard that!
haha even in nice weather conditions, we can’t exactly bike places. we live somewhere that a car is really needed to get anywhere.. plus, marshall is an installer so he has to load up his car with tools and supplies. blarg.
anyway, i got the rug at http://www.boldrugs.com/ –it was so cheap!
