Nothing a Little Duct Tape Wont Help!


Daddy and Lil E have been busy working on the race car, when we are actually home! We have spent a lot of time away lately. Between looking for a new place to live and the time with our family. But whenever we are home, they are busy working on it. Daddy wants to get the the body off the other car onto the race car, before we move.

Anyway, Daddy was driving Mommy's car one night, and he hit something on the highway! Of course it damaged (cracked) the front bumper cover and the piece under... All the sudden it got worse this week, dragging and the crack is now fully busted!. Daddy put it back up the day before and said he thought it would be alright, OH BUT it wasn't!!! You know we live in the boondocks! So it's not like we always have the smoothest terrain! (Yes, I know, why do I have a small care in the country?) Really, we are an hour from a Wal Mart! We were in a town that had a Wal Mart, (not much more either!) all the sudden it started dragging again, and when I stopped the split was over doubled in size! I'm like what I am to do???? My friend says, do what we do back home (meaning Oklahoma), and duct tape it!!! I laugh, but really what else could I do? So I called Daddy and told him what was going on and he said to go ahead and tape it until he could patch it this weekend! (We will soon be getting it all fixed up at the dealer!) So Mommy had to go Redneck, and DUCT tape the car! !!! I ran into Wal Mart to get some duct tape, and now that there are so many colors to offer, was looking for black! But NO, it was a shiny silver chrome like color, bright colors, a really ugly camo (looked like a bad photo shop project), traditional grey, or this fashionable cheetah print! Since no matter what was bought, it was going to show up, it was decided (by mommy and her friend) to be the most fashionable with the leapard! Now purple was a close 2nd, because it could have been used for the race car next year! But I wanted to be a fashionable redneck! Check out these other prints and colors of duct tape available!!! I really wish they had had that zebra printed tape, that would have been what I bought! No doubt about it!!! But the tie dye one pretty much matches my bowling ball! Oh wow, they even have a PINK line that supports BREAST CANCER! WOW! Now I need to find me some of the pink line products! They can be used for our upcoming move! (no this is not a paid advertisement for Duck tape, this is a true story about our day yesterday!)




After we got home, I decide, that since Daddy hurt Mommy's car, how about going ahead and numbering his race car for him!!! You guessed it, with my new leapard duct tape!!!!!!!!!! So do you think he will like the colors? ;)



Even Lil E helped me!!!!!




So there you go, my fancy duct tape work!!! and I'm sure you are wondering just what he thought, well he laughed, and said he knew before it was over, I was going to play some sort of trick on him, so this wasn't as bad as it could have been! hehehehe He said I should have done the purple, it would have matched not only his race car, but the checkered flames on my little puddle jumper!

You never know just what we might be up to around here!!! But not matter what, we try to have fun, even in the less than desirable situations! From this fashionable redneck, hope yall have a fun weekend!!!!

Hugs and Blessings,

Love it, love it, love it. I used to have some hot pink duct tape. I figured if a girl is gonna fix it, why not fix it with some bling!!
