Holy Hell

Where did the last few months go?

Fuck.

Between getting the PeeTee on the road, to pretty much blowing it up again, I'm already over cars right now.

I say that because it really fucks with me when I don't have a car. I also am at a complete halt without it because I can't do anything major to Jane until I have another car to drive in the downtime.

FUCK. THIS. SHIT.

It really sucks when you rely on people who really are just liars and thieves. Then when it comes down to it, you're the one that gets fucked in the end.

It's almost been a year since I got that car. I've driven it for one week. Had insurance on it for over a month.

Jane is now the DD I guess. I'm going to have to be without a car when she has downtime. So much work to do. So little motivation.

The Smell of Snomobiles

It's the obligatory post-christmas pre-new year's post.

I don't have a whole lot to say, I thought the other day about writing but I can't remember a goddamn lick of it so here's to wingin' it.

Christmas this year was wonderful. I lavished gifts upon my family and it was also returned. I had a great time, even though we do a lot of switching around and traveling for the holidays, it all turned out okay. I got to spend some time with Gramma and my sister, who brought her boyfriend along for the night. He was a delight to meet, and spend time with. I'm really glad they are happy together, because what makes her happy, makes me happy! No complaints from this side of the family about him, we all enjoyed his company.

I'm very happy that for once, I didn't have to stress over christmas shopping. I started early enough, and made enough money that I didn't have to worry. I bought what I wanted for people, and I have no idea what I spent in total. I have never actually worked out what I have spent on previous christmas shopping either, but I most always worried about the money.

I tried to make new years plans with my sister, but that was a bust. It's just too close and I waited too long to make plans. I guess I was hoping that something cool would just come up, or I was depending on my friends to invite us along with their plans. Well nothing came up, and I guess our friends either aren't doing anything, or don't want us to accompany them.

I am kind of bummed about this. I have no plans to ring in the new year, and it is just tomorrow.

You'd think I have much more important things to worry about though. My temporary plates are going to run out on The Beater, and I am awaiting an emissions test to get permanent plates on it. This part scares me as I have no idea if it's going to pass or not, which could leave me screwed. I'm just trying to take things one step at a time, and I think we're good for a couple of days, so I'll just have to wait and see.

The Boyfriend and kids spent the afternoon the other day building a fort. Although it's not 'done', it's pretty impressive.

Before I go, I just HAVE to share some loot I got boxing week shopping.

Picked up this leather jacket for $10!

I also got a new pair of sweat pants, some shopping at La Senza (thanks Gramma), and a mix of other things along with the new wolf skin on COD with my xbox gift card (thanks Meg).

I hope everyone else had a wonderful holiday so far. See you all in 2014!

This 'N That

I'm feeling better. I still have a cough and congestion but nowhere near as bad as it was.

The kid's swelling has gone down. Did I mention it was on her face?!?! I don't think she had a lot of actual poison ivy on her face but her body reacted with the swelling of her face. That's how it was when I was a kid. I couldn't believe she is just like me. I remember having it as a kid and barely being able to open my eyes. She had a spot on her jawline, the rest was just swelling really. Then she had some spots on her neck and chest area as well as her right hand which has been the last bit to go away.

I'm thankful we are on the mend.

This past weekend, The Boyfriend and I went and picked up my new winter car. After spending a couple of hours getting it running, we started the trek home. It was a long ride, and there is no radio in it. Makes for a very boring ride. I was actually having a hard time staying alert.The car also has cruise control, so that was a novelty I've never had in a car.

With some luck, in a week I will have it on the road and Jane will be away for the winter.
