I am extremely upset right now.

Guess who didn't get her car back today.? Guess who got back stabbed by the freaking mechanic.?? Guess who has to spend another 275 dollars repairing her car.??? You got it. My car has been in and out of the mechanic for the past week..And the mechanic identified the problem being the catalytic converter. He said there was one on an old Volvo at his shop he would give us and put on for 65 dollars. It's illegal to sell a used one. I'm not sure why..but go figure it would be the one car part I need that's illegal to get used. ANYWAY..he promised us yesterday that it would be ready today...well..guess what. It wasn't. That old Volvo didn't even HAVE the converter in it. Somebody had cut it out. So that guy was lying all day about it being ready.. So..we had to send it to another mechanic..get a brand new converter put on it..and you know how much it'll be after taxes...about 275..Let's do the math here...700+275. That's about 1,000 dollars in car repair, towing, and tax. That doesn't include running the car through emissions to get my tags renewed which will be another...40 dollars..oh and I need new windshield wipers..and a tail light..and gas and probably another car wash considering it stormed all day today. I am flaming mad about all this.. I just want this car fixed..and when I get the chance...I'm selling it. Without a second thought. I hate it. I hate how freaking expensive it is for repairs and services. I will never ever ever ever get another Volvo. Even if my life depended on it..I am going after my dream car when I get the chance..a glossy black or white or silver dodge charger. Everyone keeps telling me 'you'll NEVER own a car like that' And for all of those nay sayers...I have something to say. "Watch me." I am a very driven person and I WILL own that car. An elite hair stylist needs an elite car..that's just how it goes..I know you're probably thinking who said that.? Well think of it this way...hairstylists would be hypocrites in a way if they were making people look their best when they didn't. Their job pretty much goes off how you look. I dunno..this is just my philosophy. If you're going for top dog you gotta look the part. And part of that is having an awesome car to back you up...Does that make sense.? Speaking of goals...I have a revised list. All the goals that have dashes beside them have been completed. And the ones with a star are in the process of being marked off.

cayle's 1st hair cut.
-cayle's new summer clothes.

is it me...or does that list look shorter.? Like I said before..scrapbooks and house stuff and christmas gifts are next on my list. And a lot of these projects are up and rolling..tonight I did two hair cuts and made 25.00 and next week...I am doing two sets of highlights and probably making some more cash..but with my 25 tonight..I went and did my weekly walmart trip..and bought some stuff to redo my scrapbooks. It'll be easier when I have more cash..but I also bought cayle a little summer time chair so he can feel like a big boy...it was 5.00. They have blue and pink ones too if anyone was wondering. By the way..Christina, these were the chairs I was telling you about. Anyways..today was a kinda bad kinda okay day. And I think I deserve a bubble bath and good work out..with yoga.
