there's a pot of money

see it vanish


major car tune-up (90,000 miles) plus new timing belt and some other stuff (in one ear, out the other)

TOTAL: over $1500

:( !

boy that's made me grouchy. so yeah, plans to move out are being scrapped a bit.. i'll just have to deal and work something out... always possibility of moseying on back home but i really don't want to, not that i don't love my parents, but i'm short on time anyways and the thought of moving all that stuff (although, since the robbery, there's LESS of it)..ah, what a hassle.

lots of things to buy and do, and always forgetting or running out of time

- visit grandma

- get perscription, re-order contacts (yeah, had my eyes checked back during the utah trip. where'd i put the stinkin' perscription?)

- nix netflix (easy to do, just hasn't been done)

- clean out room in parent's house / hold mother of all garage sales

- save $ for moving out

- find good roomies/living situation

- find new/better job

- get keyless remote alarm system for car and fix car doors which only occasionally work properly (unless manually worked)

- replace car stereo/cd player that konked out for no apparent reason

- find replacement cd/alarm clock, either same model (ha..probably impossible, and i loved that thing!) or new one that i'll like more (not likely, but one can hope)

- pay off car (finally)

- save $ for vespa (and decide what kind/color/etc.)

just stuff to do. there's more. i'll think of it while i'm not getting something else done.

wonder if jen got her kitty yet? and what's it's name?

stu wants a dog... he says i can help him pick it out. "we're" going to name it mad love. Mad Love, that is. now darlings, do not get excited. in stu's head we're dating, he's waiting for me to...um..i dunno, but in my head, it's not going to happen. we're friends. there's a lot more to it that that, but there you have it. basically, i know, more than i thought i knew something else, that it's never going to happen. i still want to move out and separate from him but i'll stay his friend. he's the type, incapable of just hanging as friends, always has to be a date or wants to love me. hmpht. and yes, lisa, i've been clear to him. he just sees what he wants to see sometimes though.

anyway, i just like the name mad love. cute, huh? from this spanish movie we watched about queen juana of spain, madly in love with her cheating husband who dies but is instrumental in putting her away, locked up insane, the rest of her life, and she's 80 and still pining over him. quite interesting, anyways. stu got the name from that but i don't think he got the plot. his attention span can be worse than alex's sometimes. :b

hope alex is doing better.

sending da love,
