It is a positively gorgeous day today! I was gonna clean my room today, but the sunshine is calling me outside................to wash my car. I haven't had a good day to clean it up since I got it in November, so today's the day. Tonight I have to get all the Easter goodies wrapped up. I don't know if we're leaving tomorrow nite or Sunday. Either way, I need to get everything together.

I would love to change my first name. I've thought about this for a long time now, and even though it would be a pain in the ass to change documents, credit cards, etc. it would be cool to have a first name that I really love and I got to pick. I always keep an ear open for unusual names. A couple I've heard recently, and really like are Rocque, (pronounced "rocky"), and Micha, (like mica). What do you think? Did you ever want another first name? If so, what would it be? Hmmmmm. Interesting. Let me know!

Today went just as I planned it. My dentist visit was a breeze. I got a good cleaning, and he filled three little cavities along my front top teeth. Then I buzzed home and started on the guest room. I cleared everything out of there, and I must say it looks wonderful. Although I realized, we really do need to get a new mattress in there. Now that I sell mattresses, I know how crappy ours really is. Ugh. I feel sorry for our guests. I'm going to look at the ones we have at work when I go back, (ugh, don't wanna think about that now!), and see how much a decent one would run me. Just a thought. On the other hand. If I get a bed that's too comfy, they might want to stay longer. Hmmm. Should I get an extra firm?? Just another thought. Lol! Then I got caught up on all the laundry. It was a very productive day indeed. So tomorrow is gonna be chill-out day for me. I think I deserve it!

I was in vacation mode all day at work today. It was a pretty slow day, and it seemed to drag on forever...... I thought that 9 o'clock would never arrive. But of course it did, and here I am on the eve of a wonderful 7 day "all my time is mine" athon. Beautiful. I have a few things I do want to get accomplished around the house, but other than that, I'm gonna enjoy my freedom week.



I can't believe Easter is almost here! It kinda snuck up on me this year. As a matter of fact, I still need to get out and pick up a few more items, and get them wrapped up. Usually I don't have much to take care of, but since we're probably going home to visit, I need to pick up a few extra goodies. Sometimes it seems like the errands never end!

Man, I need to get some serious sleep tonight. I tossed and turned all damn night last night. It is sooo frustrating when that happens! I almost dozed off this afternoon at work. Not a good thing to do on the sales floor, but we were very slow today, and that made it very easy to kinda nod off for a sec here and there. No biggie though. I just grabbed anpother cup of coffee and I was good to go untill closing. But now that I'm home and relaxed, it's really starting to hit me. Tomorrow's my last day of work for a whole week. I can't wait to get a bit done around the house, (hopefully outside), and finish up my Easter shopping. Well, I think I better hit the sheets and get rested up for tomorrow. With a bit of luck, and the right attitude, the day will go fast. Nitey night! Zzzzzzzzzz

Wow did I have a case of "cabin-fever" last night! I went to bed around 8:45 or so because I was feeling very frustrated, like there was nothing I wanted to do or watch on TV. I just wanted to shut my brain off. Shit I can't wait till all this friggin snow is outta here and I can get outside. I can't take looking at these walls any longer. (Note to self: you wouldn't last very long in jail. Avoid at all cost.) Duh.

Nuthin' really new around here today. Most of my excitement happens over on my Shark Attack page! Good news was that I started work late today, so the long morning was really nice. It was snowing like mad when I left this afternoon. It's a good thing I gave myself a bit of extra time, because I got held up by an accident scene, then farther up the road, all the traffic lights were out at some major intersections. Needless to say, the traffic light problem slowed me up alot. One thing I have to say though, I was really surprised how courteous the drivers were of eachother at the problem lights. Everyone just took turns, which is a miracle if you knew how much traffic there is at these lights! Anyway, I did get to work on time. I lucked out tonight, too. The weather was really bad around 7:30, so our boss decided to draw cards to see which two of us could leave early. Well, my card wasn't drawn, but Jeffery's was, and he let me go instead. He's such a gentleman, and has done this for me numerous times over the Winter. Thanks alot Jeff! Well, I do have to be up early tomorrow, but I get out at 5 so that's really a good thing! Nite all!

I'm off work today, and it sure feels good to be at home and do as I please. Problem is that I have so much stuff that needs done around here, that my days off involve more work than my work days. Some days, I really think I need to hire a housekeeper to come in once a week, just to keep me on track, so I don't get so bogged down on my days off. Years ago, I used to clean houses, and those women just loved me I'll tell ya. Now I know why. I have a long way to go before I could ever let anyone in here to clean for me. Poor woman would have an anurism if she saw all the shit I have cluttering this place right now! Ugh. Well, I guess I've stalled enuff, and should get my butt in gear and just get started!

Starting today, all my Corvette updates will be posted on my Vette Dreams site (which I originally intended to do, but somehow got side-tracked!) Link is on side bar.

"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die, before Wednesday. Yeah I'll be pissed, but God bless Judy anyway". Amen.

Well, oh well. I called about a 76 Vette tonight, and guess what? A decent human being spoke to me! A-friggin-men! This lovely woman, Judy, was not only nice to me, but she was more than accomodating when I asked her when I could take a look at the car. "Anytime", she said, "just let me know when you'd like to see it". Wow! Simple. Easy. No bullshit. I actually found someone who wants to sell their car, and not put me throught he wringer to do it. We're gonna go see it on Wednesday. Needless to say, I can't wait!

I'm having a real problem lately with people that have their cars for sale. I just don't get it. So far, out of the 4 people I've delt with, all of them have been a pain in the ass. First one, "Fucktard", wouldn't let me know the car was sold, even after I called him for 5 days, and he had already sold it on the first day. We'll just classify him under "asshole". Second one, "Mr. Rochester" misled me by saying the car was in great, ready to drive condition. After a 3 hour drive to Rochester, the only place that "heap" was ready to drive to was the salvage yard. Classification: "dip shit". Third one, so far hasn't e-mailed me or phoned me with any info what-so-ever. No classification at this time. Fourth one, the "Market Gal". I call her today to ask if her car is still for sale from last year, and she gets this attitude like, "Well I'll have to let you know. I just had it worked on, and I put alot of money into it, soooooooooooo it won't be cheap." Did I say I wanted cheap?? I mean either you're selling it or not. If you are, give me the price and lets go from there. Classification: Bitch. These people are unreal. I just wanna buy a car, plain and simple. I'm not asking for much here, just a bit of courtesy. If your car has sold, take the time to tell me. Send me an e-mail or put a message on the answering machine. No big effort involved there. If I ask what condition your car is in............don't lie. I'll figure out that you're lying when I see the car. And if I call and am interested in your car, don't treat me like I can't afford it. I wouldn't be looking if I couldn't afford the fucking thing. I have cash.........do you want it or not?? So as of right now, I'm still in limbo-land, still looking and calling. I just hope that sooner or later, (I hope sooner), I run into a nice person that will at least return my calls and be honest with me. I don't think that's too much to ask for.

I had some good news at work today. (Gee, that's a sentence you won't hear very much!) Anyway, the vacation days I put in for were approved, so at the end of this month I'll have a wonderful 7 days off! The beauty of it is, I only used 2 actual vacation days. I hope the weather is decent, so I can get outside and start some spring cleaning around the yard. I can't wait!

It's a rainy Friday night. The kind of night where you just want to take a hot shower, cuddle up on the sofa with a new magazine and relax a bit. I think in awhile I'm gonna do just that. Yeah.

Well, today's adventure didn't go exactly as I had hoped................no car. But don't worry, I didn't have that breakdown, despite the lack of sleep last night. I'll post more about our day tomorrow, as I'm gonna go crash out now. I feel like I'm getting a bug or something. And don't worry, the saga continues.......... I already have a lead on another one! But before I go off to beddie bye land..........a prayer. "Now I lay me down to sleep; we told the clown, his Vette to keep. If it should sell, before I wake; well some poor fool, made a big mistake"! Amen. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, shit I'm gonna be pissed!" Amen. :O)

I should be asleep right now, as I have to be up early in the morning. But quite frankly, I'm way too excited and nervous to sleep. Excited at the prospect that I may be driving home in my dream car tomorrow..................nervous that I won't. I do not do well with shit like this. Not at all. See, I've waited 31 years for this day to arrive. 31 years. Thirty-one years. Thats a long time to want something, wait for something, dream about something. My dream may be hours away from coming true..........or put on hold. The suspense is gnawing at my gut..........not knowing is driving me nuts here. God help me if this car turns out to be "the one". I'll probably have a nervous breakdown right there on the spot, and not even be able to drive home! But hopefully that will be the case. The alternative will make for a long ride home.

Well, our plans are made for our trip to New York tomorrow morning. We decided to drive instead of fly, figuring it would be less hassle in the long run. We should get there around noon or so, have some lunch, then start the inspection. With a bit of luck, I'll be driving home a happy, happy woman!

Heres a pic of the 79 Vette that I'm gonna check out in Rochester tomorrow. Aint she pretty?!!

Guess who's going to Rochester on Thursday???? Meeeeee! Weeeeeee hooooooooo! Mike called today, and said that he could meet with us on Thursday to show us the car. I can't believe it! I was all prepared to hear the words "I can't", when I listened to the message on my machine. But my prayers were answered, and it's a go! I don't know if we're gonna fly or drive, but either way, we're outta here on Thursday morning. Now I just hope I'm not disappointed when I inspect the car. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Another hurdle. But one step closer!

Okay, I almost have this shit tweaked. Well.........kinda. Still have to fix a link or two. Bear with me, as I suck ass at this stuff!

Please bear with me..........pages are "Under construction" and will be finished in a day or two!

Well I have a line on yet another car. This one's in Rochester N.Y. I called the guy this afternoon, and he was very nice. He answered all my questions, and didn't treat me like I was a dumbass. I'm trying to set up a meeting to see the car ASAP, as I'm nervous someone is gonna scoop this one too. I don't know if my nerves can handle all this searching and drama that's involved. Hell, by the time I get my car, I'll have had a nervous breakdown and won't be competent to drive the fucker. Anyway, Hubbs said that he'd fly me up this week, weather permitting, and if Mike's work schedual permits. My driving bliss is fringing on too many factors lately. I don't like it. Anyone got any Valium?

Hello Amanda! *hugs*

I'm up to my ass in Hamsters. Really. At last count I have 9 big ones, 6 medium ones, 1 tiny one and ? newborns. And my son has 4 big and 4 or 5 babies in his room. Shit, this all started by saying "awww, aren't those two cute"? Insanity I'll tell ya. *shakes head*

Vette Quest update #2- "Fuck-tard" sold the car, and didn't even have the courtesy to let me know. This is after I called for 5 days. I just chocked it up to experience, and now I'm looking at some others that have potential. I found one in Rochester that I'm gonna call about tomorrow. Hopefully, I wont find "Fuck-tard #2" on the other end of the line, eh?

Update on "Vette Quest": Greg, who we will lovingly refer to as "fuck-tard", hasn't returned any of my calls as of yet. Kinda odd for someone who wants to sell a vehicle, and has an interested buyer anxiously waiting to see the car. I just don't get it. I was really upset about it last night, as this ride sounds just like what I'm looking for, and the price is right. Maybe this is an omen or something. Maybe he's just an asshole. He could at least have the courtesy to call me if it's been sold or he's changed his mind. Hubbs says I should let him call, as maybe the guy didn't take me seriously because I'm a woman. Man, that would be this guys first mistake!

Wow! Long time, no post. Shit has been going down at work that you just wouldn't believe. Hopefully I'll be back on track, as I'm off for the next two days and I can do a bit of catching up. On a happy note, gonna look at a 74 Vette tonight (if all works out as planned) and I'm really stoked about it! It sounds cherry, but I gotta see it to believe it. Keep your fingers crossed for me, okay?
