Lounge of Tomorrow

Snowflake I feel for you. I took mine in last week for regular maintenance. Needed timing belt and two new tires. Then while they've taken the whole engine apart they might as well put in a new water pump and some other belts. It ended up $1,100ish.

They also noticed that the struts were leaking. So now I need to get that done for an additonal $650ish. Bleh.

And to top it all off this weekend I was at the gas station and left the lights on. Pumped the gas, get in the car, totally dead battery. So after the AAA guy jumped me I had to go get a new battery. Lucikly it was just the battery and all the other systems checked out.

So I've had quite an expensive car repair run lately. Hopefully that's it.

Oh jeez, Katie! I feel for you, bigtime! I hope that once you get the last 650ish out from under that you go a good l-o-n-g while without a car repair.

We took our car in this past weekend for its overdue maintenance whatever and - there was nothing wrong with it. This is unusual for us. Usually we don't leave the repair shop until we've spent $1200, at least. Yay little car!

Mine will be paid off in July. That is going to be a really nice feeling to not have a car payment. Whee!

If I ever run into John Stamos, I'm giving him 5 seconds to apologize for Full House and then I'm going to pummel him. My kids have discovered the show on Nick at Nite or some such and my old grudge is new again.

This goes double for you, Saget.

Pummel him a few times for me as well. Madz has recently become obsessed with Full House on Nick as well. Bleh.

All my hatred for Saget disappeared the moment I saw The Aristocrats.

John Stamos has been a wonderful guest in my dealings with him.

This is what v-chips are for.
