Finally Got My Car

Yay, I am happy now because my car is finally mine and is staying here forever. =]

Except Brad is taking it to work tomorrow so he can show it off. -.-

And the dealer guy took off the filter thing that was broken in front and gluing that back together so he's going to pick that up after work. =] I don't really get why the dealer guy feels like he needs to do it... figured it would be something little I had to take care of.

One lame thing though is he didn't fix the fuel gauge.. so I won't really know how much gas I have until it dings when it's low or check the high techness of it... it like tells you everything about the car on the dash thing. Like if your tire pressure is good, how many miles you can go with the gas in the tank, how good the oil is... etc. Neat stuff. <3

My first letters on my plate is FML... lol.. eff my life. Brad's is FML too. Brad put these cover things on the plates to make them darkish and better looking. Stupid, ugly orangish/yellow New York plates.

I might go out and play with the lights when everyone is asleep. xD

Kailynn is a Turd.

I will be so freaken mad if my car isn't done tomorrow.. Brad's not sure if DMV is open on weekends.. It's supposed to be my mother's day present which is this Sunday. =\ I just looked it up online and it isn't open on the weekend.. WTF. I feel like a little brat wanting my car but I really don't think it should take this long for them to fix it.

Brad came home today during lunch and said he swore he saw someone driving my car. Seems like they are just joy riding with it.. the guy told Brad that they pretty much added 400 (that seems pretty extreme) more miles to the car trying to get the lights to come off because some lights need to run a bit in order to shut off. He also said he's taken it to a few different people and the guy who is going to look at it tomorrow thinks he knows what's wrong. He better know.

I'm just really annoyed right now.. stupid car isn't back yet and Kailynn was a turd earlier so I couldn't really enjoy hanging out with my friends. CJ, Jen, and I went to Alfies for dinner. It was pretty expensive. CJ works there. It was my first time eating there. I had lasagna and it was good, I ordered Kailynn chicken fingers and fries but she barely touched it. Kailynn wasn't in a very good mood probably because she barely got to nap. She had apple juice and was having fun drinking out of that out of the straw, than she threw that to the floor and left a big wet spot. Kailynn just wanted to run around so she cried/screamed because she didn't want to be in the highchair. CJ was trying to make her happy with random things in her purse... first it was her keys, than it was like a bottle of pills that had a childproof lock so she wasn't in any type of danger. Also gave her a can of soup. Those didn't entertain her very long. Than CJ got her a picture and crayons to color.. that lasted like ten minutes before they were thrown to the ground with everything else. I was embarrassed. Finally we left for a little trip to get cheap cigs and gas. Than got dropped off home and wanted to pass out as soon as I got inside but I did not, I just laid in bed for a few minutes.

P.s. Jen, you didn't get your salad...

I Want My Car

Roar, for real? He said he could have my car ready last Wednesday.. it's been a week now. Things keep popping up I guess... he hasn't even tried getting it inspected yet... he's just been trying to fix it. I guess there was like 7 lights on that we didn't see or know about... He's got all of them but 2 to come off. He said there's only allowed to be one light on in order to pass inspection.

I'm annoyed, I need it to freaken do my driving test.. I really don't want to do the 5 hour again.

At least I know it should be almost new with everything they are doing to it. He seems like a really nice guy for doing all this work if he's actually doing what he says.. I'm glad it's like not being sold as is or whatever and me and Brad have to fix everything wrong with it. I'm kinda happy to be buying a car from him even though my dad told me not to. My dad was kinda right with saying he sells crap since this car seems to be having a lot of problems.. but it's not coming out of Brad's or my pocket to fix it up so =P Hopefully the next time I need to have it inspected myself it won't be as bad.

Supposedly now he's telling Brad it should be done tomorrow, they are going to work on it all night tonight and get it inspected and then get our plates on it in the morning... hopefulllllllly. We'll see. -.-

On another note.. I found Dan from notemine on facebook and asked him if Notemine will come back and he said yes but it might take some time. Grrrrrr, at least I know that it isn't permanently gone. Here... I'll paste what he said.

Finally

My posts prior to this were originally from my livejournal account. I decided I didn't like it anymore (I felt too restricted). So I transferred everything here one at a time. Sucky thing though is I won't be getting any comments from my friend Jen anymore. =[[ She's decided to go with Tumblr since her username was already taken on this site.

I have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy posting here. I already read a bunch of blogs on here anywayss so it'll be easier for me to follow them. =]]

So today is crappy, weather wise. People also came and took my car away around 8 am to fix it. =[ They put it on a flatbed. Kailynn's car seat was accidentally left in there too... hum. I want it back alreadyyyyyy. >=\ Taking them forever to fix it/get it inspected.. I guess they are going to try putting in a different power steering pumpp. Hopefully they can do that and get it inspected tomorrow and give me it back.

My friend Cj stopped by to talk about plans for Thursday. Going out to eat with her, Jen and possibly Ian.. I'm not too excited about seeing Ian if he shows up. We talked a bunch about random stuff, mostly about what she's been doing. Her and her boyfriend are thinking about finding their own place and maybe have some children <3 So cute.

Osama Is Deadddddddd

Yayyy, about time we found him... took long enough..

Anywayssssss, I drove my car alone today xD Well Kailynn was with me.. Devin rode with Brad. Brad had to drop his car off to a garage place to get it worked on but since he didn't know exactly where the place was but had the address (he found it in the phone book and asked if they could do what he needed) he followed me since I had my gps.

Lol, he gets so frustrated with my gps because he doesn't know how to use it... so I always have to stop and do it myself. I became pro on it in like a day. Woot woot.

It's kinda hard to find a good place to put my gps because my windshield is hugely slanted, I've been putting it like right next to my rear view mirror thing. I also had to use my windshield wipers for the first time. Now I know how to use that and control the speed, like if it's down pouring make it go fast, if it's light rain.. slow.

Now I need to figure out my lights... I guess they have auto daylight lights?? or something... yea, I don't know.. not like they are really needed... I need to know about what lights to use when it's dark, k thanks. Stupid Auto (I'd probably go to Auto if I didn't read in the manual that if I like drive by a bright light my lights might go out... -.- Stupid sensor.) and like 3 other choices and than stupid brights and fog... wtf, way to have like a gazillion craps. Way to have a husband that doesn't know anything and just experiments or chooses by what he thinks looks right... -.- Oh and one of my front fog lights don't work but I should be fine as soon as I know how to turn them off so I don't go driving around looking lame with an unnecessary light out.

I'm a car noob, leave me alone xD Like none of the symbols make any sense to me..The pop trunk and pop gas door are kinda obvious though... Lol Gr, I will learn.

After we dropped the car off and then Devin home, I drove to McDonalds for Mcflurries. Yum, Oreoo foreverrrrrrrrr. Brad got annoyed because he thought I parked too far from the wwindow.. it wasn't even that far away -.- too bad my power steering was acting up so I couldn't really steer closer to the wall easily and he must of forgot that I worked drive thru a lot, there's people that are far worse than me. While we were waiting for them to be made I told Brad how I wished people that I knew were working drive thru today so I could show it off xD hum, hum, hum. The only people who have seen it so far is Sis, Devin, Dad, Uncle Joey, Brad's step brother Richard and Brad's Stepdad.

Busyness and Kailynn's 2nd Easter

Saturday we test drove the car. Brad drove it out a few miles and I drove it back. Only little things came up like it was a tiny bit loud but they said that they'll fix the muffler leak or whatever it's called before we even left. It also steered to the right but that should be fixed too.. the steering wheel probably just needs to be realigned. It also didn't have any power steering. That just means it needs some fluid, should be fixed as well. Brad's going to mention everything to them that needs fixing plus we aren't going to buy it unless they have it inspected. It would be pointless to buy a car if we can't get it on the road because there's something wrong with it and can't get it to pass inspection. Hopefully since the tires are pretty low on tread maybe they'll provide new ones in order to pass inspection if not we'll probably have to buy new tires before snow falls.

Edit: Brad left work early today to talk to the dealer because he hasn't been available both times we've went there. He finally got the bills of sales and handed it into the bank. The dealer said he could have the car ready by this Wednesday but since we still need to get it insured and the plates, we're going to pick it up on Friday after my ultrasound... =]] I'm really excited for Friday... I get to bring home my car and find out what my baby is. Best day evvvvverrrrrrrrrrrr. Kinda scary though because I'll probably have to drive it home illegally since Brad will have to drive his truck back home. I don't know it's going to be confusing since Brad is getting his Eclipse out too.

I have no idea where we are going to park three vehicles. Brad isn't even going to be able to park where he parks now much longer because the house next door is going up for auction. Everyone else in the neighborhood already parks in the street. Grandma's Monte Carlo is taking our parking spot.. =\\ This household has way too many vehicles.. My dad has Grandma's Monte Carlo, Alyssa's Hyundai, their truck and van.. Now we are going to have an Eclipse, Aurora, and Durango. That's 7 vehicles, it's going to look like a dealership here. LOOL. Ugh, I really don't know. I don't think my parent's are going to like having our three vehicles around. Hopefully we find a place with an alright sized driveway.

Other news? I don't knowwwwww. Baby inside me seems fine I guess? I don't feel it much anymore but I'm guessing it's because I've been kinda busy and distracted by other things.

Kailynn is good, yesterday was Easter and she was so adorable going Easter egg hunting in my parents yard. I took a bunch of pictures that I might post on facebook after I'm done posting this. I wish I had my video camera but I was in a hurry trying to get Kailynn ready for it because everyone was waiting for us. Would of been really cute to get some of her reactions recorded.. She was like a pro at hunting eggs even though they were obvious and easy to find. I was so proud of her and shocked on how well she was doing.. She like knew to pick them up and place them in her basket that I was carrying around for her since the handle was pretty long. At first she was trying to squish them together to fit on the very bottom but than she just started throwing them in there. That's until she picked up an egg and it popped open on her, she literally jumped a tiny bit because it scared her. She obviously didn't know that they had anything in them or that they opened.. or maybe it made that little popping noise they make and that scared her?? Now that I think about it I wonder if she thought they were the hard boiled eggs we colored and dyed the night before... Poor thing <3 I love her. After that egg popped open with a little bright colored marshmallow bunny in her hands she jumped and threw it back on the ground, after that she didn't want anything to do with them, no more hunting... so me and my grandmother picked the rest up for her. My mom had a little Easter basket of things prepared for her, it had a bunny that had velcro on it's hands so grandma wrapped that around her. It also had strawberry smelling bubbles and egg shaped chalk and a sippy cup. <3 I blew a little bit of the bubbles outside and Kailynn covered her face.. lol. <3

We ended up making our own Easter dinner because we didn't think we were invited to eat with my parents and because we've been doing a lot of driving this week we didn't have enough gas to go to Brad's step dad's. It was yummy, I actually rather make our own food so that I know there's food I'll like.. like when we eat at Brad's Aunt Brenda for X-Mas Eve dinner I don't eat much because I don't really like the food they make or provide. I just go for the meat and potatoes.

Well I think that's about all I have to say.

Lots of Driving Around

So Brad got out of work early today at 10 am. Luckily kinda because my dad needed a ride back home once he dropped off his van to get more work done. He came up here like right before Brad got home to ask me if I could follow him up there. So we followed him to the garage and brought him back home.

Than we left for Mayville to hand in Brad's checks so that we could be reimbursed the extra money they take out of his checks for health insurance.

After that we headed to Fredonia because he got a letter in the mail saying he was qualified for a $6000 loan.. I really didn't want him to, I really don't like burrowing money.. He was only going to use it to help pay rent to a new place figuring the payments for the loan would be cheaper than the rent itself and pay the rest back when we get our taxes. Luckily they didn't give it to him. We had my GPS with us so we used it to help us find a fast way to get there, took roads we never take, I loved it. I love seeing new things. Saw a sign nailed to a tree in a forest that said "Jesus believes in you." or something like that. Also drove by what looked like an Apiary.. lots of large white boxes in the middle of a field so I figured it was a bee farm. Didn't know anything like that was around here. Only seen that kinda stuff on tv or maybe books in science class.

After that we went car shopping, first looking at places in Jamestown. Found a couple Chryslers almost exactly like each other. The 2004 was like at our maximum price, in really nice shape, only thing bad on it was the drivers seat was pretty worn down. The cheaper one was two years older and had lots of scratches on it and a couple indentations on the trunk but it also had a sunroof like I want.. I rather have that one, I don't mind the scratches, actually makes me feel a little more comfortable in it with not having to worry about possibly getting scratches on it myself plus I can always have it painted.. plus it's like $1,000 cheaper and has sunroof and everything works and it's sso quiettttttttt, unlike Brads loud truck, like after the guy started the engine you couldn't hear it at all. It's really big though, really fat, really big trunk so we kept looking. Something like this:


We went to like 8 places.

Our last stop we ended up going to this dealership that sells really cheap cars. Found one I really love but it makes me nervous because Brad really wants me to have it and I'm not sure if I trust the guy. My dad knows him and says he sells junk... though it really doesn't look like junk to me. Some Whitehill dude. So I'm kinda having my dad secretly (because Brad doesn't want him to) look at it for me since its really close to his work and I trust his instinct way more than brad... I just want to be smart. I really don't want to buy a piece of junk that is going to need constant work. We really don't have that kinda money. I've looked it up and A LOT of people are saying it's a really nice car but they do need work every so often. It's a silver 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0. So prettyyyyyyy, I love how the dash like turns towards me and it's not as big as the Chrysler and a lot of people said it's a good winter vehicle, good at climbing snowy hills. It doesn't have a sunroof though =[ I can always have one put in because there is ones that have it. I'm afraid it's going to be a gas hog though because it has a V8. Big engine. "The 4.0L Sedan is equipped with a standard 4.0-liter, V8, 250-horsepower engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway." ...Yeah, not so good on gas. =| I really really want to want it but I'm so scared something is wrong with it because the price is so cheapppppp. The guy has already lied to us I think... because I just typed the vin number on yahoo to see if anything would come up and a site popped up and it said "
  • September, 2000 - New vehicle registered with DMV
03/08/2011 - 113,330 miles - Vehicle listed for sale in Ellwood City, PA for $1,250 "

He told Brad it only had 60,000 miles and he's selling it for over double that price. He is probably the one who bought it.. So unless he put work into it I feel like we are getting robbed. If he worked on it than I don't mind paying double the price he payed. He is obviously going to try making money out of it.

He wasn't there when we were checking it out so we didn't get to turn it on or anything.. or ask much about it. Ughhhh. It looks brand new almost, just a little dirty on the floors. Has a small crack on the back bumper, the front hood looks a little warped... like it was bent in slightly. Plus a filter like thing on the bottom front is broken, but they seem like easy fixes. I just want to go look at it again but I don't think Brad is going to let me. =[ He wants to be in control from here on out pretty much.. I'm most likely going to order a carfax report on it if my dad thinks it's alright.. =\\ I kinda don't want to because it's a whopping $35 not including tax... that could go towards the baby =\\\\ Ughhhhhhhhhhh. I hate buying expensive things. I'm so nit picky, making sure it's worth it... etc. Kelly Blue Book says Oldsmobile Aurora 4.0 is worth $4,641. He's asking $3,400 but a lot of them on Cars.com is being sold for 7k and up... confusinggggggggggg. Just like this oneeeeeee.



Edit: Brad just told me the Bank approved the car and the payments are cheaper than his truck... That doesn't mean it's ours yet.. he still needs to talk to the dealer dude. =|||

Last Couple Days

I was going to update yesterday but it was already almost midnight and I hate posting around that time because of instead of saying today I have to say yesterday even though it like just turned a day. Blehhh.
Yesterday
So yesterday I had a doctors appointment.. I was pretty much cranky up until the appointment. I texted my dad asking him if he was going to be able to give me a ride... He asked me what time, I said that the appointment is at 3. Then he said that he could but it was going to be tight because he got out of work at 2:30 and that he can't be giving me rides whenever I need them... >=\ That annoyed me, this is like the second time I asked for a tiny favor this year... both being rides to appointments but it's April, that seems alright to me. Then he complained how Alyssa is always asking for rides to work, walmart, to their place and I guess now that Linda has a problem with her brain, David her boyfriend won't go to the store to get things they need so Linda has been asking for rides. Like wtf, way to bitch to me about it after I've only asked a couple times.. it's not my fault everyone else is asking for rides too. Maybe you should bitch to the people that are asking you for rides constantly. Excuse me for asking for anything. And than he was like not even making sense bringing Brad into the situation.. oh "Brad needs to figure out how to get you to the appointments when he cannot and not rely on me" (why can't I rely on my own father a couple times out of the year??) even though he's getting me a freaken car.. and my dad knows that.. It's like wtf else do you expect from him.. I think getting a car is a pretty good answer to the problem.. Grr!@$%)&#%&#%!@$!*@$

I already don't like asking for help, way to make me feel worse because I didn't want to walk in the rain with Kailynn.
I don't even dare to ask for any help with getting anything for this new baby or even the baby shower =[ I'm all alone.

So anyways the appointment was kinda interesting I guess. I peed (for some reason they make you pee in a cup every appointment), got weighed and found out I lost 1/2 - 1 pound (that really surprised me, I feel like I have gain 5 pounds not lost any, plus pants are already getting tight so I have no idea how that happened) My blood pressure is good. There's a new nurse lady working there, she seems nice. My doctor then asked me some questions like how I was feeling. Then I laid on the little bed/table kinda thing, she measured my tummy, pushed down on my tummy and noted that my uterus was pretty big, it's above my belly button now and she squirted gel on me and found the baby's heart beat pretty fast this time. She asked if there were any twins in either our families. She counted the heartbeats to make sure it was healthy or whatever. She thinks it's going to be a girl based on the heartbeats. Then she told me she was going to see if she could find another heartbeat just in case there were twins. Didn't find anything. That was pretty much it for the appointment except the nurse made me an appointment for my ultrasound.. she made it for the 28th of April but Brad just changed it to the 29th today because he was already thinking about taking that Friday off (to pickup my car at wherever we are getting it and his car out of the storage) and didn't want to take two days off from work that week. I'm really excited to find out what this baby isssssssssss.

We had a lightning storm late last night, I enjoyed that.

That was pretty much it for yesterday.

Today
nothing really worth noting.. except I am trying to find a girl name that I like and failing. I liked Riley until I realized it's Janelle's last name. Blehhhhhh. It's cold and rainy out.

Tomorrow we are going car shopping!!! Well just looking at cars and writing their information down because we are getting a car loan and the bank will only give you the money if they think the car is priced right. I'm excited for thatttttttttt. The end.

P.s. Jen I read your huge post. =]

It's Sunday

So todayyyyyyyyyyyyyy, is Sunday. Had grilled cheese for dinner. Kailynn loved the tomato soup.
I looked up a bunch of used cars on the internet... found one I love.. the only thing I don't like about it is the exterior color. It's gold. =| I hate goldddddddddddddd but it's so nice. Leather seatsssss, everything is powered and it has a sunroof which I really want. <33 Brad seems to like it too but he doesn't think I'll like it in person though.. too big/fat or something. Hummm. 2000 Chrysler Concorde LXI
So for the weekend we got a free trial of HBO and Cinemax on DirecTv (they usually do this during holiday weekends) so Brad recorded a bunch of movies to our dvr. We watched a ton today. Can't even remember it all.. We just got done watching Valentine's Day, that's an alright movie... lots of popular actresses and actors in it. Brad watched a movie Ninja Assassin while I napped, I watched like the last half hour of it, it was alright... lots of body parts and blood tossed everywhere. We also watched Marmaduke, I think that was right before Ninja Assassin because I missed the last half of that. We also watched the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid... another alright movie. Hmmm, I think that was it.
That was my day.

My Car, Bed, Crayons

I am tired already.. Brad had the guys come back to take the base boards back earlier today because he didn't want them because they made the bed too high. Not sure if they noticed Kailynn's little signature on the one. =X Yes, we had it for like one day and Kailynn already got at it with a crayon. Shouldn't really matter though, not like anyone would see it once a bed is on top of it.

She's been a little pain in the butt with crayons now.. she used to be good and only color in coloring books but now if she finds a pen or a crayon she writes on whatever is closest to her. She's already drawn on our living room wall above our bed with pen, a little bit of crayon on the speaker luckily Brad doesn't care about.. She's drawn on the back of her little kitchen play set. What else... I believe there is yellow crayon on something else.. can't think where though at the moment. It's obviously less noticeable than blue pen or purple crayon. And she usually does it while I'm cooking dinner or doing dishes so by the time I realize what she's doing it's way too late. Hope the parents don't mind painting this room again.. I told Alyssa that I was hoping they won't get mad and she said they probably won't because their own kids have done the same thing.

Humm so I guess Brad is thinking about getting me my car by May 1st... 8 days earlier than mothers dayyyyyyyy. xDDD But he says I can't drive it until mothers day =[[ but I'm thinking that might change =DDD and I get to pick it outtttttt. At first it was all going to be huge surprise.. I wasn't even supposed to know he was thinking about getting me a car for mothers day.. but now there's like no surprise at all since I will be picking it out and junkkkkkkk. I'm so excitedd. He's thinking May 1st because he wants to get his eclipse that he bought a few months ago out of storage so he doesn't have to pay for another month and get that registered so he'll do them at the same timee. Woot, woot. That's like in only a couple weeeeeeeeeks, and as soon as I get to drive it I'm going to force my dad in spending time with me and Kailynn in my car so I can practice parallel and junkkkkk since Brad doesn't get out of work until 6:30 pm.

~~Jen are you going to try getting your license before your 5 hour expires? That will suck having to go through that boring crap again. I am making sure I don't have to. Plus my freaken permit expires December anyways so I definitely need to get it so I don't have to redo permit test anddddddddd 5 hour. It will be so nice not having to worry about getting my license anymoree.

On another note I wish I listened to music more often.. I seriously like never listen to music anymore unless Brad is watching BET or something. =\\\ I just wish I had lyrics to put onto my polyvore creations like everyone else does.. but like whatever I make I can't think of any lyrics that would relate to it. It's lameeeeeeeeeee. I really need to listen to more music because I need to fill my ipod up so I can jam to my own tunes when I go cruising in my car. I'm so excited <> I already put my graduation tassel in my cd case... too bad my cats mangled it kinda (there's like a couple strings longer than the rest for some reason.. I'll just cut them to the length all the others are..) and I'm not sure where my good one is.. might be still in my room in the basement. Bleh.. I can't waitttttttttt. I want to be all cute and pick out my own freshener for it.. and my tassle hanging on my mirrorrrrrrrrrrrr. even though I'm pretty sure you are not allowed to have that kinda thing during your driving test so I'll have to remember to take it down. Okay I think I am done rambling, goodnight. <3
P.s. my cats are annoying >=\ they are meowing like they are in heat which they shouldn't be cause they are fixed.. especially Buddy, he got fixed before he got hormonal.
