My car wasn't fixed until about 2:30 on Monday, it turned out to be a simple little plastic clip that cost about $4.00 for a package of 3-4. The clip went into the tube that connected to the fuel filter. The labor cost $40.00. I was so happy to have it fixed I didn't even stress over the labor.
So... Murphy wasn't done with me yet though. Since I was stuck at home I decided to make a Hummingbird cake, surely I could make one that was worth $5.00 a slice. I got the cake made and baked and was starting on the frosting when..... my mixer littlerly blew up in my hands. I had just plugged it in and was attempting to attach the beaters when it happened. I think if I had the beaters already attached and into the wet liquids in the bowl when I plugged it in there would have been a much bigger mess to clean up. But... again Curley and Pete were right there at my elbow. Thanks again guys!!!!! A mixer only cost $10.00 at walmart but since I live 5 miles from walmart and don't have any roller skates I had to use that antique tool , the arm muscle attached to a wooden spoon to make my frosting. The cake was light and fluffy with cream cheese icing and oh sooooo good. It was so good in fact that I took half of it to my neighbors or I would have eaten more than I should have. Greg loved it too so I saved him a few pieces. He isn't much for sweets but he said he would help me finish off the cake before it spoiled.
