It's Raining...no Men in sight >..>'

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was awesome. Now, I REALLY have to watch the other movies…and possibly buy them ^..^

OK…what else happened over the weekend? Well, it rained….a lot! Which is normal at this point, but it sorta needs to stop now. I have Lake Pontchartrain all around my house. Of course, rain is perfect weather to clean house to, so I really didn’t mind so much…except when I had to actually go out to do something and ended up doing the Louisiana Shuffle (you know, when every piece of ground is either soggy mud or a puddle).

I’ve pretty much decided to make two copies of my Mecha Con pics and make a scrapbook for Reiko and myself. Of course, I don’t really know much about Scrapbooking, but after talking with Mom a bit over the weekend, I found out that my Aunt Batty knows how. So, I’m definitely going to be consulting her. I get the idea of printing out the pics and putting them on card stock and writing something clever in and arranging them on the page with embellishments here and there (but nothing too crowded), but what I’m not sure about is how it fits into the book =..= It’s the practical side of things that I can’t wrap my head around. I’ll go ahead and make mine first though, that way I’ll have it all worked out by the time I get to Reiko’s and her’s will be better ^..^ I did go by Hobby Lobby just to see if it’d inspire anything, I have a few ideas…but nothing definite. I’m still unable to get past that initial confusion =..=

Chibi came over Sunday. She finally made it to my house around 5:20, but she came bearing pizza, so I didn’t mind so much. I finally got her to see the whole first season of Supernatural and we even started in on the 2nd season. We only have one more episode, and the whole first disc of the second season will be watched...only 5 more to go and she’ll have the whole 2nd season down too! I know I’m not going to be seeing her for quite some time...so she’ll have to come and spend several days with me in order to catch up once I finally own the 3rd (and eventually 4th considering how slow we’re going with this) season(s). I also showed her the first disc of Reiko and my Mecha Con adventure. It was amusing to show her the pictures.

I brought the puma in this morning for the service. I asked how long it would take and when I could come and pick it up, and the guy said, “It depends on what we find with the brakes.” =..= Which, is exactly the opposite of what I want to hear. A part of me is slightly panicked at the notion of not knowing (as it usually is), but I keep reassuring myself that even if it does take more than the day that I allotted for it, I do have a few people that don’t mind toting me to and from work. Still, it’s just one of those uncertain incontinences. Still, I hope my baby’s just in need of a quick fix. And..I hope it isn’t too expensive.

Dear, God. Please let this work day be over quickly, and let my car be fixed by the time it is. K, thx, luvya, bia!

So, tonight, Chibi’s going to come over too. Or at least, she’d better since she made off with volumes 5-9 or my W Juliet. If I can just pick up my car, I’ll call her after I’ve gotten the car and we’ll meet at my place. If not…well, I’ll just be giving her a call one way or the other. I think she might be coming over tomorrow night too…or we might go out to eat at Zen’s. I told her about it and she agreed that I really must show her what it’s all about. I know Dad’s coming in on Wednesday and we’re going to my Aunt Carolyn’s for supper and then to church (note to self: bring a change of clothes to work). So that means RP with Scamp gets pushed back to the latter half of the week (if you can call it that). And I know her beau is coming to visit sometime (I think she said the 24th), so I’m pretty certain we won’t have as much time as we’d like. Still, it’s always fun when we can manage it.

I guess that’s…everything. Or everything I can think of right now. I’ll talk later, Sunshines.

WHAT IN SAM HELL!!!

OK, so I just got over the call from the Ford place. I was told, 1) I need new tires, 2) I need a new battery, 3) I need a completely new stereo. I asked how much that would be all together, and was told $1,100. After I picked my jaw up off the floor I told them not to worry about the radio. Ten minutes later, I called back and said not to worry about the battery. Five minutes later, I called back and said leave the tires alone, I’ll be there at 5 to pick the thing up.

I had a heated discussion about it all with my coworkers somewhere in between all of those calls and they convinced me to shop around. After canceling all of that with the Ford people, I called Mom and told her. She agreed that shopping around was the best policy. I called Dad too, and after a “ /insert pause. Do what!” reply to my original story, I calmed him down with my reaction, and he said that he’d come and get my car on the day he got in and he’d take care of the tires and everything. I talked to G and she said that her son Johnny knows a place that he can order a car stereo for relatively cheap and then he can put it in my car himself at no charge. Over all, this has been a lesson in “Dealerships See you Coming” and “Always consult those older than you who’ve been there!” Because I’m not sure what I would’ve done (other than had to pay my parents back for new tires).

I can’t wait to pick the Puma up and just drive home. I’m so zonked from everything...Thank God, the day really did fly by. I need a xanax.
