Car Woes

My car needs work. Again. I don't know if all cars are like this, but I feel like I'm always pouring more money into that thing!! I hate it! This time around I need to replace the head gasket. And it's going to cost me a pretty penny. The repairs are about $1000. Not to mention the $700 I just spent on it in October. Good grief!! I feel like I'm hemorrhaging money these days!! Sometimes I wonder if I should just buy a new one. But then I would have much higher car insurance payments, and a monthly car payment. For now I've decided to stick with it and fix it. I guess... Really I'm not sure. What would you do?...

So Productive!!

I'm so proud of myself!! These last few days have been so productive for me. I have a to do list a mile long but I'm slowly checking it off. I've been to the doctor for my final visit, thank God! I've had my car in two different auto repair shops getting various (and expensive!) things fixed on it. I've had to do my emissions, and get my tags updated. I've found a storage unit that I have to start moving my things into tomorrow. And I have to yet to see any of my friends since coming back! So this weekend is dedicated to quality time for my friends and family. Especially since I'm heading back to St John for a few weeks. I just need time to recuperate and be with Sky. And after the holidays are over, we'll be back on track with our plans for moving to Atlanta.

Today has been a good day. Since all of my errands for the day are done I'm hanging out with my favorite girls (Denise & Sadie) and feeling like life is pretty okay. I hope it only gets better from here on out!!

Our "Island Car"

This, my friends, is our ride, our auto, our whip, our hooptie... you know. Our car! This is what's know as an "Island Car". Notice the shape, condition and general shabbiness of it. This is something that couldn't begin to wish to pass inspection in the US! To pass inspection here the car only needs to drive, have 2 seatbelts (doesn't matter if they work or not!) and have headlights. So you can imagine the gems we have on the island!! This is one of them:)

Notice the bumper sticker? She's sassy:) And when I'm not riding in this piece of heaven, I'm hoofing it or hitching rides. But more on that later. Boy do I miss my sweet station wagon these days. That's all for now!!
