What’s that sound? Why the sound of my hard earned money being flushed away of course! I took Lola into the Jeep place this morning-you know, my “perfect” car??? Yea, right now we’re looking at $1700.00. Yes my friends, that’s 2 sets of zeros. I just called my salesman-I’m pretty ticked seeing as they did know about the brakepads/roaters (PS-I thought I took it in for the AC??). Fingers crossed, though I don’t know if it really matters anymore. One day I’d like to buy a home w/ the boy…but obviously that’s not coming soon w/ the way I’m getting money sucked outta me.
Can you say bitter?

There are times when you just need to learn to call it a day. That’s my day today. 3 hours ago I went to get something to drink for lunch. Then I got the call about Lola. Then I spent 1 hour on the phone w/ our travel agency b/c their computer program SUCKS. Then I find out (and I apologize but I have to be cryptic) that this piece of business that I really worked hard on in a round about way I can’t even work on b/c of my schedule next year, which is understandable but completely dissapointing. And now, now I”m finally eating lunch.
The one upside as I write this is my sales manager just called back and he has a call into the service people to try to get me a discount. The weird thing is he says that as long as my brakes WHICH ARE METAL ON METAL aren’t squeeling or having trouble stopping that I shouldnt’ bother fixing them until inspection time. Sorry, but I don’t want to die in a firey crash-thanks anyway. 5pm can’t come soon enough-I’m opening some wine tonight.

Thought about you tonight. Between car troubles and loan worries, sometimes a girl just has to go sing some show tunes.
“I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night…”
So, I did. Go do the same. Smooches, love, and brake pads.
Jeez! I was really hoping that whatever was wrong would be an easy fix. Sorry sweetie
Gotta love those damn cars!
Yea - brakes are definately one of those things on the must fix list.
Sorry it costs so damn much - we did brakes on BOTH cars last year. Nauseating.
I find brownies help in these situations.
I highly recommend just absconding with The Boy’s vehicle… I’ve commandeered Mike’s Jeep
BTW- I do read your blog more often than it seems. The last time I registered it kept telling me there was problems with my password and USER ID. I think I’m just computer illiterate.
Much love! Taking the monkey boy to Cold Stone for his birthday sugar high.
