Enjoying the Car

We are thoroughly enjoying the car! Its so fancy schmancy lol...

Not much else going on - my sunburn is FINALLY almost gone on my shoulder. I can't believe how badly I got burned.

Let's see, what else - still spending copious amounts of time on FFXI, but that's nothing new lol.

Trying to pay some bills, freaking out about money, not sleeping, headaches, tummy aches, stressing out, you know, same ol' same ol' HAHA!!

Charles moved into his new office yesterday - he's excited about his new space, but he hates the extra mileage everyday. He has about 10min extra each way. But at least he has that extra 20min a day in a fancy car, right???? Oh, and he wants me to take some new pics of the car because he doesn't like the ones I put up of it earlier - so I'll try to do that later this weekend.

... ... ... ...

Its been too depressing around here to even post. It has pretty much hit rock bottom around here and nobody really likes to hear people whine, you know? We still haven't left to get our new car, our other two cars are still broke, we have been ingesting large quantities of potato chips, and candy to soothe our weary souls... lol

On the 4th the Wizard and Dorothy came up to try to help us w/ the Audi, but it is just dead dead dead. They left after lunch and that night we decided to do something different since we were all upset about the trip and went to the drive-in. We saw Evan Almighty and The Fantastic Four and the Rise of the Silver Surfer. Evan Almighty sucked big time, but the Fant. 4 was actually better than I had anticipated.

We watched some fireworks from the drive-in, so that was fun. Sydney HATES anything loud, so we were leery of taking her downtown. (The prior years have sometimes ended in near panic attacks...)

Anyway, that's what is going on around here - a whole lotta nothing...

Still here...

Haven't left yet - we don't really know what's going on yet. We are MAYBE going to go to NYC for the 4th while we wait another day for the car to get done. **sigh** This is such a stressful transaction, I'll be so happy when its all over.

UPDATE

We aren't leaving until tomorrow - the car isn't ready yet.
Oh well... ::sniff sniff::

Off to NY!!!

Well, we are off to NY to pick up our new car!! Hooray!! :-)
The kids don't know where we are going yet - its a surprise...

Hopefully the trip is smooth...........

Wish us well!! We should be back on the 4th or the 5th.

UPDATE!!!

Guess who just came home??????????????????
Yup, Mrs. Isywysy herself!

I was calling for her again after I got out of the shower and heard her cry, and she ran in the house - with mouse fur on her face and all lol. At least she found food! (She's never been outside, other than an escape or two which have always ended in about 3min...so I was really worried about her.)

We are so happy to have Isis home again!!!

*sigh*

Well.......... my parents drove all the way up here to check out the Buick. Yeah, it was a frikkin' dead battery!! Am I joking??? I wish I were. *sigh* But in my defense, it DID say "Unknown Driver" instead of "Driver #2" which it normally does, and the Security light was on when its usually off.

But, the whole ordeal was so relaxed and non-stressful it was "loverly". (Sometimes I get all weird when my dad is around cuz he likes to give me a hard time, but I know he loves me - somewhere inside there haha lol), I even SKIPPED when I got home. Yes, skipped. lol Sydney wanted to know what skipping looked like so I showed her, then Charles wanted to see me skip so I was skipping through the house. LOL Now I'm just about to go into cardiac arrest, but I'll be ok .........

Cars SUCK!

So Charles decided he wanted a Blizzard and some movies, so I go to get it all for him and get to Kroger to pick up some Kleenexes and soda and the stupid car won't start!!!!! **curses curses** I realize its the security thingy (yes, that's the official term) and call my dad (since its his car). He doesn't really have any ideas either, so I just call Charles and have him come get me (in the OTHER broken car...)

See, here is the situation; Charles and I own two cars, a Jaguar and an Audi. Sounds nice, huh? Yeah, well, it would be if they didn't break down all the time. The Audi had transmission issues in 2005, and we got it fixed and bought the warranty, and then lost the keys... yeah, it sat for nearly a year unused in our garage. We then got new keys and the car had a whole new set of problems: brakes, burns oil, and since it sat for a year, expired plates. *sigh* Well, in the meantime of the Audi being down we were just using the Jag and it was fine then one day it just stopped as I backed out of the driveway and the display said "engine failure" or something like that... Its been out of commission since late fall. They are both so ridiculously expensive to fix... and at then to add insult to injury, the Jag's plates expire at the end of the month. *sigh* There goes our tax return........ Anyway, so we've been borrowing my parent's extra car - which has now decided to drop dead. Life hates us, its definitely official now. What have I done to deserve this bad Karma?!?!
