Time to Buy A New Car

Back in 2004 I went on vacation and came home and my hubby who wasn't my hubby at the time bought a car. He bought a Volkswagon Jetta. He was very excited about it cause it was cool, slick, hipster and did I say cool? Unfortunately, that gleam in his eye went away fast. A year or two later a head gasket blew costing a ton of money and we hadn't even paid off the car. Then the warranty people refused to honor their warranty (wish I knew a lawyer cause this fits the definition of lemon). And oh every other month something falls off or breaks. In all my car driving and owning years I have never known a bigger piece of crap than this car. Besides being the spawn of hell because surely this car was driven to hell and its angry about something that stupid car a major pain in our pain in our ass. Not only does the stupid car break all the time and is costly to repair it always seems to wait until the most inopportune time to breakdown and make us worry about money. Well no more I say! Our relationship with that lemon not to mention gigantic piece of shit car is now over. The car broke down again this week and we took it in to be repair and the hub picked it up today and didn't even make it home before it overheated again. He takes it back to the place and the mechanic says well I guess something else is broke. Yeah, you think?? I am sooooo tired of the laundry list of things that is wrong with this dumb car. I wouldn't have fixed that stupid car this time around if there where other things wrong with it. I totally find it unfair that the mechanic is charging us for the fix and later tells us there other things wrong. Can I sue?? The hub even tried to turn it in during that cash for clunkers and they wouldn't let us because it was one stupid point over their requirements. 1 point people!!!! If ever there was a clunker this is the car. My brother works for GM so we can get a discount. I have a feeling the hub probably doesn't want a GM, Chrysler or Jeep which are the three places we can get a discount. But I say American, American American and down with the Germans. I may be okay with the Japanese cause they seem to make shit that don't break but never ever will I get a German car. So stick it Volkswagon! Stick your stupid ass Jetta car where the sun don't shine and double, triple stick it with your warranties. And damn you for making me have to look at finances on a Friday night and make me worry about money and if I can make another car payment. Crap! We have to look for a new car!!!!

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

How Was Your Weekend?

Does a Monday morning ever go by without someone asking you how your weekend was? I got to work and was bombarded with the question and this week I didn't have a thing to say. Didn't feel good the whole weekend so we did nothing except managed to go grocery shopping, make a trip to Target and watch several epsiodes of Quantum Leap and Battlestar Gallactica. I found that when you don't have anything to say it's good to have at least a change in your appearance to deflect the pitty looks for not having done anything on your weekend. Luckily, I had a new hair cut and color job so I was able to skip the fact that I didn't have any exciting plans to report. Last week I awoke with that I can't this hair anymore attitude and booked an appointment. I went back to bright blonde as opposed to darker blonde with brown streaks I had for the wedding. It was refreshing to go get your hair done after spending the weekend in pain. Luckily for me, the new hair color must hav...
