Left work for 5 mins to stop at the bank during lunch today and came out to someone leaving yellow paint on my bumper. AGAIN. I've lost track of the number of times that that's happened in the 2.5 years I've had this car. 6? 7? And that's just times that I KNOW about.

Time for a shameless plug. Click this link and read some articles my cousin Pat has written about Boston, and earn him some money.

Mom took the Grand Am that I drove before the Camaro. It apparently didn't run well, and if she had called me, I would have known immediately that that damn air intake I installed came loose again (it happened once before). But no, she didn't want to bother me, so she took it to a mechanic who charged her over $100 to remove my K&N air filter setup ( Read more... )

I suppose an update is once again in order ( Read more... )

I messed up at work today. I have to give my time cards to the vice president to sign off on. She's not always the nicest person - she bugs me a lot when I'm 5 minutes late. I gave her a time card saying 40 hours, and she asked me if I was in on time on Monday. Forgetting that I was in half an hour late due to snow, I said yes. She signs it and I ( Read more... )

I am sick of working on the house. Seriously. Ice storms came through last week and while we didn't get too much ice (just rain, though half an hour north got ice), we got a lot of water and my sump pump failed and the basement and garage got 3" of water in them. I picked up Adam and we cleaned and cleaned and cleaned and while I got the cardboard ( Read more... )

I'm a little bit annoyed right now. I'm doing two Christmas gift grabs. One at work and one with the family. Why is that so bad? Because it's ridiculous, if you ask me, to spend $50 on a gift card for someone else just to ask for $50 worth of stuff you don't want that much or also a gift card, especially when many companies are going out of ( Read more... )

Not much to talk about, but I decided I'd post something since it's been a while. Life has been busy; I have still been working on the house a lot. It's a neverending job it seems. And it's quite the money sink. My car is in the shop for a minor idle issue as of yesterday (the first time it's been in the shop for technical issues - all previous ( Read more... )

Well, I am giving Prince back to the rescue place. It turns out that I am pretty allergic to him. I've been taking Zyrtec-D every morning, Benadryl at night and Flonase as well, and it's not helping. The rescue is having an adoption event tomorrow that I am going to bring him to.

Been a while, but I only feel like posting a small update right now ( Read more... )
