I went to the tax office to see if I could get my tags done. There was only one person in line so I thought I could zip in and zip out. No such luck. The server for the car registration part was down for the entire state and they weren't sure how long it would be before it came back up. Apparently the day before it had gone down for 3 hrs. Not a ( Read more... )

I'm off today. I have to run to the tax office because I never received the paperwork for my new tags for my car so now it's expired. I noticed it on the 7th and thought it was for the inspection since nothing came in the mail. I think the paperwork might have been sent to my old address and never forwarded. The thing is, my old mailman comes in to ( Read more... )

My car cost $299 to fix. Ed got his timing belt changed. That was $778 with the 15% discount. Aurra is staying overnight at the vet because we think someone poisoned her. She's on an IV, has a catheter, and a cone on her head. :( Poor poor weiner dog. That's prolly going to cost more than a few hundred dollars. And rent is due. Gah. Good thing I ( Read more... )

Monday, on my way to workout, my check engine light came on. So when I got to the gym I left the car running and check my transmission fluid and whatnot. All looked good. After I worked out I checked the oil. It looked fine. ed had just changed it a few weeks ago. I called Ed to see if he had a clue what it might be. He wasn't sure and since it's a ( Read more... )

Edward and I bought a car last night. A `99 Honda Accord, dark green, automatic, cloth seats. It's pretty sweet. We put $2000 down. Paid $10.995 for it not including TT&L, extended warranty and finance charges. All that comes to about $14,000. That is if we take 48mo to pay it off, which we won't. We'll have it paid off in 6 mo and save a crap ( Read more... )

Today was a long day. I got up early to bring my car to the dealership to get a new tire. I got it there by 8am. My tire wasn't even there yet. Alex the service guy said it was on it's way because they didn't want to deliver it if I wasn't going to show up. I think he never ordered it from NTB or whatever. Anyhow Audrey swung by on her way into ( Read more... )

This was one of my favorite toys as a kid!

Gotta go get a new tire this morning. I've had a huge bubble in it for about a month and a half now. My luck it will blow on the way over there.

EDIT It did not blow. I'm back at home. My sister picked me up and I brought her to work and she is letting me use her car so I wouldn't have to sit at the ( Read more... )

Too bad I'm going to tell you anyhowLast night I met up with Edward at Baskin Robbin's for the free ice cream give away. We each splurged and added an extra scoop for a $1. We didn't get any of the new exotic/fancy schmancy flavors. Edward got Rocky Road and Chocolate Chip Cookie dough and I got my standard Pecan Pralines and Cream and Pistachio ( Read more... )
