OMG FMG!!!

Okay so the Warranty is a complete sham. They don’t cover environmental and the deductible is $100 so we had the dealership just fix everything. It wasn’t worth the inconvenience of taking the car to another place for the NINE DOLLARS we would have gotten. Also, all estimates were before taxes. $2227 went on the credit card yesterday. That was a fun 2 months of no credit card debt and interest!?!

Max is sick... :(

I feel ill. J and I decided to take the car to the dealership for the first time since buying it a year ago to have it checked out. We have had it serviced at the original car-lot and Canadian Tire’s or Walmart for oil changes and stuff but nothing major. So in I go and drop off the Max, get to work and am impressed with the service and shuttle. I got the call.

$1862 in repairs needed. I MEAN HOLY F#*^@!!!!!!! We can get $500 taken off and done with another place on our extended warranty but still, HOLY F%$#&^!!!!!!

Weekend Recap and Beyond...

Great weekend! Friday night was wonderful! I got in the door and basically was cleaning and doing laundry until my Mom tapped me on the shoulder. The parents were up for the weekend to baby-sit for us while J and I went to a party and also to help me install our air conditioning and a new bi-fold door at the top of the stairs to the basement. I’m hoping the door will keep the A/C upstairs where it’s needed.

Lots of yard work was also done. I mowed the lawn, extended the veggie garden by about 6 feet, cultivated the front garden while Mom and The Boy were popping weeds. My hands are still sore and I still can’t make a pinching motion without pain. :(

Party was great, out to the Chupick’s for a potluck meal and watching the Sens beat out New Jersey. Was home by 10:30 and into bed.

J and I are trying to save money right now so we have turned off a lot of our tv stations. We kept the fun zone package for The Boy and the lifestyle package for us as it includes HGTV and Food network. I haven’t really missed anything! It’s like we have had all these channels and been paying for them, but haven’t been watching them! STUPID!

BUSY weekend coming up with little to no Vanguard happening! L Friday night is Melly’s birthday fling with Salsa dancing, Saturday lunch is BBQ with ANGERAH and her room mates, Saturday night is drinkin’ n’ shit with Grisa, ANGERAH and her man, and possibly KCh, Sunday is Mother’s Day so I had better damn well be getting breakfast in bed.

Tomorrow should be fun, first time taking the Max in to an actual Nissan dealership…I mean stealership. We’ll see how much this sets us back.

Blog ya later.

Vanguard KILLED my Blog!

Vanguard, the addiction. I am a level 27, at the moment, Warrior in Vanguard named Girtha. Please feel free to make fun, this was not intentionally going to be my main toon. I thought that I would use her to learn the game and made an unfortunate name choice. J and his friends make fun of me all the time. Oh well, such is fate…to be Girtha. Life is actually going well. Mid year review was done this week and my boss is happy with me. Whatever that means. The boy is out of his casts and doesn’t even limp anymore.

The Boy is now is swimming lessons with his little friend Aiden. They are soooo cute at the pool!
Am heading out to see Melly and eat at Wang’s Noodle Hut. OUR FAV!!!! 5$ dinner and it’s soooooo yummy!

I’m going to try to update this thing more. Only problem is the husband and I are playing Vanguard when ever the boy has gone to bed and we are not too tired. Makes for not a lot of free time to blog.

Cross your fingers and maybe I’ll post again before another 2 months go by.

Ciao for now.
