Turn around....

Yep, slowly things are starting to turn around again!! Things with the car arr coming along slowly, but the fuel gauge seems to be working by itself, and Ted and Jereme got the heat to work... (still doesn't work in the mornings when I really need it, but its workin part time at least!) Went and put a mattress on layaway, just hoping its a good one. My room is a disaster, but I just don't have any motivation right now. Jax doesn't seem to want to spend anytime with me anymore... Can't really blame him, mamas a drag these days.

It happens

So I got this car... I love it, BUT, its being a pain in my ass and my wallet... So far we've changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel neck, rear brakes, and thermostat... Now there ia an air bubble in the heating system somewhere and I can't get any heat. This morning when I got to work, the check engine light (which is always on) started flashing at me, and the car started to shake, and when I went to lunch, it was making a ticking noise and shaking worse... I'm scared that yet again i've fallen in love with something I won't be able to keep....  Oh and the list of things we've still got to fix is: alternator is slipping, the key fits in the hole weird, the rear strut needs fixed, and brake wear warnibg light is still on... I just can't seem to win in anything I do anymore... So much for a better 2012...

Maneater

I finally got it! The car is MINE! Signed the check and the title yesterday, then got up at 6:30 this morning so I could help Ted and Jeremy with the fuel pump and brakes.... 3 trips back to Advanced, spilled gas, wrong fuel pumps, a new fuel filter, new break lines, the wrong battery, 1 smashed hand (Ted's), and 12 hours later, the car is parked in my spot! It still has some minor issues, but they will get done soon! Justin even has a cd player and possibly some speakers that he said he'd install for me!! Neved had a car that I even thought 'worthy' of having a cd player installed! I'm so frikkin stoked and can't wait to get my seat covers and everything in it!! This car just suits me, its small, fast, sexy (hahaha), has some body issues, and still looks great :-) I'm a die-hard Chevy girl at heart, but this car has put a huge smile on this girls face!!!

Easy come, easy go

2012 sure has been one hell of a year already and we are only in the first week of February! I bought myself a new phone, bought myself some Jessica Simpson knee high boots, bought myself a Dolce & Gabana purse, and I'm in the process of buying myself a different car! I can't wait to get it and get it fixed up so I can add all my little personal touches! It is 1999 Mercury Cougar, 2 door, white with a V6! I bought the Dolce purse because it was beautiful and red... And will ge perfectly with this car! I may not be the hottest bitch around, but once I gef this car fixed up, fill my purse and zip on my boots, I will be fuckin close!  I even started tanning again thanks to this car! I am so excited and ready for a fresh start!
