Ok

I got my phat check today.
It's in the bank, and I'm paying bills.
Now I've overpaid (overpaid means more than my usual "I'm broke" amounts of $20 plus interest) on my credit cards, but I'm hoping to not use them. BUT, they're there if I need to. Like for gas or food. Or buying a meal for a CB so he'll put out *grins* (Or maybe a certain redhead *evil grin again*) I also sent (am sending) an actual large payment to the dentist. That way, they're not mean to me. I have money left, but I need brakes, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't cut something short. I will have some $$ coming from the asshole client, and I'm thinking I might bill my biggest client twice a month, like their payroll. I might do that JUST to get more caught up. Maybe pay some to D, maybe more to the dentist, then there's my other student loan which is kicking back in, AND Xmas shopping.

I finally feel almost caught up. This is the first time I haven't had to skimp on a bill just to eat, or feed my car. This is very precarious, but if something goes wrong I'm OK. PLUS, the money I spent at BJs is in the freezer, in the form of foodstuffs. I need to supplement what I have, but I think that will be minimal.Cereal and milk, salad, or something fresh for dinner. I do need some other supplies - girly things, more conditioner, and contact lens stuff. AND the eye doctor - but I think I'm going to use my newly paid cards for that.

I hate this feeling, but it's almost over. I have to take care of some things, but I think I'm on my way to being OK. I have long terms plans and some things that need doing. Saturday I'm going to finish putting things to my sales journal and pimp my ass off. And I'm probably going to drive down to the Cape office to do some work, since I"m not going tomorrow. PLUS I might have tempted CB into coming for the ride. THAT would be nice - there's a couple of places I'd like to show him. I'd LOVE to be in a position where I can honestly offer up NYC next month, even if just for a weekend, even if just for myself.

Let's see how things go. I feel very empowered at the moment. But not stupid enough to invite anymore crap. *grins*

Bed soon, after I do some movie research. Steak and BJ. *laughs* MAYBE if someone is lucky. *smirks*

I wonder what brought this feeling on? I feel like something that was causing me to be off balance has clicked into place. Strange. Well the subconscious will figure it out.

Hey, everyone keeping score on the b0st0n thing

The idiot that started the whole thing,
Is trying to get to ME by throwing the things I've said back at me.

Have I EVER said I wouldn't mind hitting some people with my car?
(I have)
And the only thing keeping me from it is the legality and the paperwork involved?
(Tis true)

I'm wondering about the "Well you're a BAD PERSON" vibe I'm getting.

HELLO - I KNOW I AM!
DUH!

*snicker*

Also, they're coming over here to "get dirt." Which I'm finding damn funny.

If anyone sees me getting harassed IRL, go back to that b0st0n and get the info. That is, if I go blind, deaf and dumb, and can't seem to handle it myself, or rather, when hell freezes over.

*snickers* "YOu're mean and I don't like you!"
BWahahahahahahaha
*sniffs*
*wipes eyes*

Next post will be about ME, promise. *lol*

EDIT - Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it mean I win if I'm called crazy first? I mean, I think this guy is an idiot and told him so, but apparently he thinks I need to be medicated. I think that's like saying "Oh yeah........Your mom!" and meaning it. *silly grin* Although I'm willing to admit to a draw since I used "....and then?" last night.
*snicker* I love how stupid people are. When I Am Queen, there will a death penalty for people who annoy me. Who's in?

Ok, this time about me.

Or rather my poor car.

The current issue is the brakes, the front. The "local guy" says I need pads, badly. That I was on the verge of needing rotors. I finally got around to calling Saturn, who quotes me $350. They insist on replacing the rotors. Now, I know it's not necessary, but honestly the brakes last longer when the rotors and pads are new. And yes, I'm a sucker for my dealer.

now, a call to Firestone, where I get the alignments, brings a cost of $129 for pads, and IF I need rotors, another $120. That's $250, max, plus I'd have an alignment and tire rotation done, since I don't pay for that (Can I JUST SAY that if you don't buy a lifetime alignment from Firestone, you're nuts. Or Somewhere! It paid for itself in less than a year, and that was 2 sets of tires ago, or 4 years ago. NICE!)

The guy down the street quoted me the same price, but he's slimy. Plus the muffler thing, I'm not going back there.

Since I have about $350 left *grins* I think I'm going to Firestone next Tuesday. I have my morning client in the area, I can drop it off for several hours, and not worry.

So, I have questions, which I am also posing to CB (along with being a Computer Hardware god, and a Network Prince, he's also a Car god. Does all that stuff himself. No I don't want him touching my car, there's too much wrong, but if I get a NEW one, you can bet your ass he's doing stuff to it. *evil grin*)
- Do you replace rotors even if you don't need to?
- What else do you look at on brakes?
- How much is too expensive IYHO? I know what I consider expensive (*cough*Saturn*cough cough*) but could I go somewhere cheaper than Firestone and have it done well?

The one thing I have issue with is the wait at Firestone but it's in the middle of things, and I can pop off and work for a while, get lunch, go shopping, and stuff.

*shrugs* so I guess next week will be getting that done. I'm bummed Saturn isn't working out to be the better price, I want to take it to them for the next oil change - the car just isn't happy and I'm wondering if it's the oil quality. It prefers the Castrol, and they used the MObil brand. Not that I'd know jack about oil. Plus I'm getting the Coolant light again. so I need more of that. Slow leak, will be the death of my baby.

In about 3 weeks, I will turn the odometer to 200,000 miles. MY ASS has driven 200,000 miles! Can you imagine? Wow!well, it will be at 200,011. *grins* This baby has gone above and beyond and I need to look into retiring him. *sighs* I'll miss my guy, tho.

The boss bought me Pad Thai for lunch. We actually got out pretty early, and it wasn't really stressful in the office, for a change. I do have to drive down tomorrow, I'm hoping I can persuade CB into going for the ride, but I'm not holding my breath. It'll be OK, maybe I'll get greasy onion rings *silly grin*

I should be doing something. Maybe getting the items up on my sale journal.

Wheee!

Teh Unit actually is being helpful!
I haven't checked all the usual grown up places to buy bedding, like Filene's and Macy's (although I looked online) I was also thinking of Sears.

They sent her a home catalog, which I'd need to order online.
But LOOK:
Echotone (black/white set, with skirt and shams)
or
Turnberry which I'm wigged out I like!

Now the purple one looks like it matches my walls and it pretty girly
But the black has all the texture, and is black and white and not so girly. They're also of better quality than the Target ones.

There's TONS of other stuff on the website, and I did prtty well with my purchases for the room so far compared to the prices here.

AND - both these sets are CHEAPER than the all black Target one.
Sheesh!

And, if you'd like to assist me in getting my new bedstuff, please look over my sales journal, tias_closet I'm adding tshirts and more clothes and jewelry, depending on how long I let CB work. Let me know oif you see anything of interest. I'm still adding things, so hang tight.

Plans ahoy

So I'm all set, I've volunteered to meet him closer to him. Which is about an hour via 95/495.
And I'm leaving soon, in case of traffic.
AND I have to change, I've decided to dress too young for me goffick, so I can show him more than just the Corp Goth side and the Club Goth side. Glittery shirt, boots, and short skirt.

*meep!*
