Steve and his mom and I spent the entire weekend apartment hunting.  We finally found one that we liked that fit our budget and I just got a call that we haven't been approved.  Apparently Steve's income is too low....well no shit, he's a student!  I don't know how we're supposed to get an apartment.  This makes no sense when you see all these ( Read more... )

Steve has been in since Thursday with his mom.  He had to come down and register for school.  We went out today shopping and we found the BEST dining room table ever!  We got it from JYSK for only 348$ plus taxes.  It's solid wood, none of that fake shit on it, and that price includes not only the table (which is 4' x 6' ) but four matching chairs ( Read more... )

I'm really starting to believe the idea that things happen in 3's.  I've just had the 3rd thing happen to my car.  First the immobilizer broke, then I had to take it in for a tune up that turned into a $600+ repair bill for my intake manifold gasket, and now this.....  My grandpa was over tonight helping my dad with something and he backed into my ( Read more... )

I am in childhood movie heaven the past couple days.  Some of you know that I collect the Disney movies as they are being re-released on DVD.  My grandma used to get me one for each birthday and Christmas.  I don't want anyone else to buy them for me anymore.  I am still wanting to collect them, but only if I buy them myself.  Just not the same if ( Read more... )

Well I've been on overnights fogging for the last little while as some of you may know.  One night, while fogging downtown, myself and a couple other crews were being stalked by this guy on a bike.  Well I'm coming down this one street and he's hiding behind some parked cars and all of a sudden comes out at my truck while I drive by.  He had a ( Read more... )

what an exhausting 24 hours.  Ok, well its a little over 24 hours at this point but whatever.  I worked last night from 9pm-7am continuing the mosquito fogging.  Our crew finished up all the little stuff from the night before and all the new stuff assigned to us.  So I get home and talked with my mom for a bit, crashed around 8:30am, accidentally ( Read more... )

well, the entire problem is my fault as the immobilizer tech people have told me.  The little black thing that goes on my key chain to tell the car no it's not being stolen is "smashed" as they told me.  I don't understand how I drove to work just fine and then after work, they keys having spent all day in my bag, the little fob is now smashed.  So ( Read more... )

well, its not my starter.....the mechanic still hasn't determined whether its my neutral safety switch, some cable for my clutch or that friggin immobilizer I had installed last year.  It wouldn't surprise me if it was the immobilizer because I've had nothing but electrical problems since it was installed ( Read more... )

mom's not mad at me anymore....that's good ( Read more... )

I got home from Steve's place late last night.  I had such a great time.  Spent some much needed time with my boy, got to see all the cute baby animals, AND I got some yarn and some quilting stuff.  Bonnie and I went to this store called the crazy lady and its all quilting supplies.  We decided on a table centre quilt.  I picked out some really ( Read more... )
