car, massage, dsl

Wow, lot’s happened recently. lol So last week my car started acting up. Yes the one I just bought a week ago. Come to find out, no one had looked at the battery. So had to buy a new one. I’m going to stop by the dealer on the way to work and see if I can’t get the money from them. Their safety check should have caught this. Plus my change oil light keeps coming on. Not happy about this, but it is trivial. Just one more thing to add to my busy mondays.

I HATE AOL!!! I’ve been with them for over 3 years and have had nothing but problems each time they have an upgrade. This last upgrade with the security edition takes the cake. It has messed with other programs on my computer to boot. Brand new computer and it has issues now because of this. I do like the extra protection, it’s caught some stuff as I’m surfing. BUT, give me a break. I can’t get into my settings to change them. I can’t click on any links in my emails and haven’t been able to for months. I did a live chat with a tech member today and we even resorted to a quick restore of the program. To no availe, I still can’t get into my settings to change them.

Doing it all

Well obviously someone else on this planet thought I was doing too much also. Hubby tried to start his truck this morning for work and it decided to take the day off. So, I’m stuck at home. Happily, I might add except for the fact that I had a free hour massage scheduled for first thing this morning:( Oh well, I’m getting caught up on things around here. I just hope there’s nothing seriously wrong with the truck. I haven’t sent the taxes off yet and don’t know how long that will take to get back this late in the year.

Work

Darn it! I’ve worked everyday since I bought the car. I have had no time for a trip to friends houses to show it off. lol Top that off with half days this week and I’m running around crazy. But, atleast I’m working and putting money away for my new car payment. lmao

Got the car!

I’m so happy. I’ve got my pot of gold today. Yes, the suburban is gold. lol And it’s my favorite holiday, so it’s fitting to me. I was sad to say goodbye to my old car, she was a good one. But, it’s so nice to have all the room. I’m in heaven and can’t wait to take a road trip. Hubby’s glad I have to work all weekend so I won’t be able to put the miles on until next week. lol

So, bring on the next scrapbook weekend! I’m ready to drive all the girls in one car now. lol Pile into Momma’s party rig.

Newer car?

Well, I have to go ahead to go and wheel and deal tomorrow. I went and test drove a suburban and I have to say I’m in love! It turns on a dime, has room for the kids, dog, all our scrapbook stuff, luggage and we could bring friends over to visit with us at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. Yippee. So, there is a 2000 in gold that is a great deal, but I’m going to hit them up for the 2003. It’s a charcoal-like grey and when the light hits it there are fleckks of blue and green. Plus it has the sunroof that I really hate to do without. lol I love my sunroofs. When you live in rainy Washington you have to get all the light you can get. So wish me luck that I don’t screw anything up tomorrow. I’ve never been good at haggling, but damn it I’m going to have to if I want the 2003 instead. lol

Night with hubby!

Yippee! Not sure how it all fell in place, but the kids are gone for the night and we are going out. Of course, the bad spin is I have to be at work tomorrow morning at 6. But, hey, who needs sleep right? I’m a Mom! It’s 5:22 and we are just waiting for our friends to bring our daughter back home so we can take them down to grandma and grandpa’s. Then we can sit in the car and do the whole,”Where do you want to go?, I don’t care, what do you feel like eating?” Never fails! Hopefully we will make it to the movies. We want to go see that so cool, or whatever it’s called. The one with John Travolta and all the big names. I wouldn’t mind just hanging out at the bar playing darts and enjoying no kids running around. lol

sick kids

How can I decide if they are sick or not when they complain about their stomache’s? I’ve decided just to bore them to death. They can’t come out of their rooms unless it’s for bathroom, food, or to do homework. I told them this before so they could change their minds, but it didn’t deter them. Maybe it’s allergies. Our tree pollen count is off the charts right now.

family day

Well, I didn’t think it would happen. But, we did actually have family day. We had to run to the side job first and spent over 2 hours there finishing it. Not how the day was supposed to start out, but I held hope. Then I figured we’d go to an early movie. Well, the 5:15 was sold out. Great, I snacked and I went past needing a meal today. But, then we went car shopping and I found my car. UGH, not now, I need to wait for my tax return. But it was soooo pretty! I will go on Monday and take a test drive alone, the kids of course love it. I’m not sure if it’s what I want and I know it is $5000 more than we were hoping to spend. Hubby doesn’t care right now, whatever I want. Within reason of course. lol I can’t get the lincoln navigator like I really want. lmao

Darn kids!

K, I do love them, but at this moment I feel really old. This deserves the second post in 5 minutes. lol I just got the early email from ticketbastard. Motley Crue tickets go on sale friday. Guess when the date is? A Sat. night concert, in July, outside brand new theater. Oh wait. It’s on my daughters birthday!!! Rats, damn murphy’s law. Why couldn’t they have announced it tomorrow? I’ve had the weirdest rotten luck all day. Now I’m depressed that there’s no chance in the world of going. It’s a good thing slumber parties are fun!
