6-2-10

Tony had the day off as work told him he
had too much overtime. So of course we went
out for breakfast at tee-jays.
Then off to the junk yard. Stopped
in a market in Obetz and found me some
red, yellow and green bell pepper plants.
$2.00 for a 4 pack.
Went to a couple thrift stores to look for a
swimsuit for vacation. Got Jonathan
and myself one. I'm picky as I wanted
one that had a skirt around the waist
to cover up some belly flaws, lol.

Stopped by the library on the way home
to pick up some reserved books.
Got 3 recipe books for the bread machine.
Might browse those this evening if I
have some down time.
This evening will still be busy for us.
Run, run, run it seems today, ahhhh!
Tonight we pick up our Trans Am in
Reynoldsburg. There is supposed to be
thunderstorms rolling through the area
from 4 to 6PM, oh goodie, at the time
we are supposed to get the car.

I think by the time we get the car we will
have seen every side of Columbus today!


2:30PM

Tony went down to snake a drain at mom's.
I think I will head out to the garden
and get the 8 pepper plants planted
before the rain comes. Some plants
have baby peppers on them already!

Sometime I am hoping to find time
to make our meals for our upcoming trip.
I think I got as far as frying up some
sausage for breakfast burritos and
getting the chicken done. That's it.
Tomorrow I need to get the pork ribs
in the crock and start getting my butt in gear!

6:15PM

Just back from Reynoldsburg with the car.
Not in the greatest mood this evening.
Tony thinks the guy messed the car up when
working on the transmission. Now it doesn't
shift gears right. In other words it
won't shift into park all the way.
Won't shift into the other gears either.
IT WAS NOT LIKE THAT WHEN WE
DROPPED IT OFF!!!
It's a good thing Tony didn't tell me
that when hauling the car home or
I would have been more paranoid than normal!!
Tony looked up under the car and said
the shifter cable was disconnected
or loose.
We originally took the car to this
guy to have the
transmission leak repaired. Well let me
tell ya, if it was repaired then what the
hell is leaking all over the car trailer???
This car wasn't repaired at someone's
house, it was taken to a freakin' transmission shop
where this guy works! Scary thought about the
quality work done there for regular paying
customers!
And to top that, the guy
never paid him for the work he did at his
house and we've seen him twice in the last
week or so, once to drop off the car and
once to pick it up. And people wonder why
I have a hard time trusting people, even some
close friends. This guy has been a friend of
Tony's for years and years. You bust your ass
to do someone a favor and get screwed.
All it takes is one person to screw you
over to make you put your guard up with
even the most innocent people out there.
I am so tired of everyone's bullshit here
lately I could just puke.
Can't wait for vacation!
