car ideas
The sad thing is I know more about computers than cars. But I am going to try a few things. First of all my fuel pump is actually in the tank, so we have to drop the tank to get the damn thing out. There is a little screen on the bottom of the pump that the fuel goes through before the actual filter, so I need to scrape off that screen and then change the filter. Fun fun fun. I need to get one of the books about my car that tells me how to take the whole thing apart!
Just a quick update for now, I'll tell you about my little drunken night of drunkeness later on when I am a bit more coherent. I don't get hangovers, but this is the closest thing I have gotten so far.

laters!

I feel good :)
Business is booming and I feel super good.
Finances on the Vonnie front aren't looking to yummy though.
Thanks to my brother in law, I got this bright idea (I know, most of my ideas are bright until I actually go through with it. Like living in my car for a year, that was a REALLY bright idea!). I am looking to build my credit, so I decided to take out a loan for two grand and set myself two years to pay it back. Even with like 11% interest, my monthly payments won't be too harsh. So I called the loan lady (I can't think of her name) at the bank and explained my situation to her and she told me about a loan I can take out if I have a co-signer since I don't have any credit. So I called my grandmother. I figured since we managed to talk on the phone last night without any arguements or lectures (since we hate each other). Instead of the "sure, I'll help you" like anyone else in the family would have gotten, I got a lecture about how I didn't need to do anything like that. I explained to her, it is for my car (since my fuel pump is bad) and to get the rest of the money down for my computer. I got a flat out no. I guess she doesn't want me to build credit and fix my car. So I called my aunt. She said she would check with my uncle to see what he said about it. I am going to get my mom to co-sign hopefully so I can get it taken care of. If mom can't if she still has credit problems, hopefully my aunt will help me. My brother said his mother would help me if I need it. I understand aunt penny is worried about herself since if I don't pay the bill on time she has to. I am just super frustrated about my car possibly dieing and me have no vehicle. Then I can put part of it with my tax return to get my computer.
Everything is so frustrating right now. I hate banks and credit when I don't have credit to begin with....GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blech
I feel like royal poo. For me, that is a step down from normal poo, not a step above. I just thought I would clarify that.
Happy Valentines day everyone. I hope everyone has a good one, valentine or not.
Ok, I'm at work. I'll drop by everyone else's sites who I haven't dropped by yet later on today when I feel a little bit better. Laters! Hugs to all!

Grrness and stuff
I am in the worst of moods today for some reason. I ended up getting so pissed at the shop today I just left. I told Blas and Jeremy that I wasn't really crutial to the shop today anyway since we weren't doing anything, so I left. I ordered a pizza and have been at home ever since. Jeremy finally got off of his lazy ass and fixed the computer so I can go online again in the comfort of my own home and not have to worry about anybody looking over my shoulder at what I am doing. This week has just been so chaotic I want to scream. In between funerals, sick children, and finding out Jeremy has been drinking while at work in front of my boyfriend's seven year old son in addition to having a big party at the shop while we were gone this weekend, I was fit to be tied. I just want to sleep for days.
On a good note, a friend of mine that works at AutoZone is going to discount my fuel pump when I buy it, taking the price down to 200 instead of 300. Now all I have to do is wait for my tax return to come in so I can take care of the damn thing.
I have been so pissy, I am almost tempted to disappear this weekend. Go to my brother's house or something and just hide. I just don't want anymore shop parties while I am gone. If anyone would have had the mind to, they could have stolen all of the money or the stuff we have. That just isn't kosher.
Ok, I'm gone to play more Musashi...or take a nap. Whatever comes first. I am tuckered out.

Laters!

My iPod is happy now~
Well, I decided to charge my iPod here at work on a reliable computer. Not like I have to worry about anything going on since there are only three of us here at the shop. Oh, well.
I am just really bored right now.
Oh, I need help putting sound on here. I have the Gigantor theme song (it's not a midi file) and I can't remember the HTML code to put the darn thing on here. Anyone reading this know? It is making my mind mush :(
Ok, I'm gone, just wanted to say hi to everyone and do a little victory dance for my iPod!

Laters,

I found a compy I want :) :)
Well, I was talking with a friend of mine last night, and I have decided to get an Apple iBook! It is just under a grand, and after I get my tax return it won't be anything to save up a couple hundred more dollars and drive myself down to the Apple store in The Gardens Mall West Palm Beach and come home with a cutesie new computer! I am super excited. I have made one decision though. If I do get an Apple, I am going to stick with all Apple hardware just so I don't mess something up and have my new computer decide to take a poo on me. Like my gateway. Not knocking gateway, I have had nothing but gateway since I was 15. I have had six of them though. And then the computer that Jeremy built and let me borrow has taken two poos since we got it two weeks ago. The friend I talked to has had his PowerBook since we graduated high school in 2003 and is yet to have a problem with it. Then maybe if I have my apple, my iPod won't be such a pain in the butt. It hates windows. After I get the new computer I am almost tempted to give my iPod mini to Jeremy so he can have an mp3 player at work (even though it is pink!) and either go on and get a Nano or one of the new iPods that play video. Then I can hook it up to the jack in my car and hopefully I will be able to show the movies over the monitors that will be going in my head rests and in the headliner of my car. That way we can get the kids to shut up when we are in the car!
Ok, I'm gone for a while. I hope all is well with everyone and I'll see you guys later!

Hi!
So how was everyone's weekend? Mine wasn't too bad. The whole household is sick again, Sito took a razorblade to my screen door so it's in shreds, Drina took all of my tea out of the packages and put them in one box, and I did my taxes. I did my taxes on saturday night, and what shocked me is I didn't mess up. Every year I end up screwing up somewhere and it says I owe like 10 cents. This year I sat down and read the book and did everything properly and it came out perfect. So I am going to send this off and hopefully in a couple of months I will get my 530 back. By then I will have a little money saved so I can buy another lap top! I am seriously thinking about getting a Tobisha Satellite I think it is called. It ranges about 800 bucks. Saving three hundred to add to my tax return won't be too hard. I was also looking at an Apple Power Book, but the one button mouse makes my brain turn to mush. It straight up boggles my mind.
I'm going to lay down now. It feels like the flu again.
Latrs!

Day is almost over!!
::sing songey::Two more hours until we close!! Two more hours until we close!! ::dance::
Thank goddess. I am so freaking tired even though I didn't even stay awake to watch Futurama. We didn't get out of here until almost 9 PM last night, but got an extra $400 for it. I hate 12 hour days, no matter how they come. All I know is I am tired as hell yet we still have one more job before we can go home. And that is after we close. Then I have all sorts of fun things to get done at home....having a 9-5 job is making me lazy :(

People are really starting to piss me off
I got an email last night from someone I haven't heard from in two years accusing me of sleeping with her husband. Sure, people have been spreading rumors about me for the past three years since I pretty much did my own thing after high school and didn't speak to most of my friends and I guess they got pissed. That was just one of those things that just made me cock my head to the side and say "what the fuck?" After not seeing me for two years I don't get a hi or how are you doing, I get an email telling me that I have STD's and should eat shit. It doesn't hurt by any means since I haven't communicated with my high school friends in so long. It is more of a thing to piss me off. Especially when it was straight up attacking me. So, just to be the vindictive bitch I am, got bored and wrote this whole myspace bulletin (where most of my friends are at) addressing the issue and pretty much telling everyone everything about my life down to the day I start my period. I've only gotten two replies so far, and it has been beautiful. The two were from people who I still consider friends and they gave me the basic "you go girl". POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!! They think they can cause me chaos and pain by saying these horrible things and getting the people whom I thought were friends to turn against me then they have another thing coming. I may sit back in the shadows the better part of the time and appear when necessary, but I can turn this whole fiasco into a total circus. I don't spread rumors, I remember things from school that most of them want to burry. Who has the time and energy to sit and make things up about people when they can just dig into the past and dig up real embarassing moments?
The thing that makes me laugh the hardest is the fact that these are the people who know the Vonnie with the horrible temper that will either break someone's face rip them to shreds with unkind words, the don't know the Vonnie that has been studying the Dalai Lama for the last two years and is a much more peaceful person. I think the icing on the cake was my response to the email. I was as diplomatic as I could be in between being irritated and just plain laughing my ass off. Because I knew that would piss her off more. The most beautiful part about it, I told her not to bother replying if she was just going to be rude to me again and not talk to me on a human level. I haven't gotten any reply from her yet. I am just waiting to see what she has to say this time. Hell, if I was going to tell people I have done things, I wouldn't make it out so I look like an ass in the end. I have much more sense than that! I guess I am one of the few that actually grew up and started having a life after high school other than spreading rumors around that could hurt other people. I simply don't have time between having future step-squirts running around and helping run a business.
Ok, I'm gone.
Laters!

Hugs,
