How was your weekend? Mine was pretty quiet, considering. I did manage to change curtains and get rid of those ugly-ass curtains my ex wanted. The new ones are a blue microsuede and make the room really dark, which is how I prefer it. Never let a straight man decorate for you!
Took my SUV in today to fix that windshield/dashboard rattle again. Last time they pulled the dashboard to put in foam. Today they had to pull the cowl and put in foam. They said service bulletins advised them to do this. I hope this stops that annoying noise.
I have discovered a new TV network, Spike TV. I saw an awesome show yesterday called Muscle Car, watched them painting a Camaro they’re restoring. I learned so much about paint that I didn’t know about. They’ve been rerunning old Shield episodes, too. And they had this “Shocking Videos” show on last night that was truly shocking
Speaking of paint, an apparent old friend came back into my life last night, though I’m pushing him back out. I don’t remember him. He says we didn’t meet but I sent him my photos, so I know he’s a liar, since I don’t take pics so therefore can’t send them out. He kept asking me what turned me on, apparently years ago we talked about it. Game me the heebie jeebies. I’d never date him since he doesn’t read a newspaper. Seriously. I’ve dated 2 guys who didn’t read the paper or watch the news, and I can’t stand it. I like to be able to discuss current events, today’s news, etc, and it’s frustrating when you ask someone if they heard about the fire in their town, or a murder, and they are clueless. So, he lied to me and doesn’t read the paper, and made me uncomfortable. 3 strikes and you’re out!
He and I talked about my car and he went on and on how I’m being ripped off in my restoration. I’m so sick of people who haven’t a clue specifically what has been done telling me I’m being ripped off. He then tells me how his friend can paint my car for “a few hundred”. I explained a “real” paint job would cost thousands, but he insisted his friend could do it, after all, his friend does all the paint jobs on used cars for some dealership. Uh, no thanks. I kept saying no and that I didn’t want to paint it, but he didn’t get the hint.
Sink isn’t put in yet, may not be until next week. They are having a problem with the glue, they need a special color to match my counters, and the glue shipment they got would not harden as it was old. So now I have to wait for them to get more in from Corian but it won’t be in until Thursday, and Friday I have plans ….. I just want this done and over already.
I froze my furry ass today, it was about 20 degrees out but with the wind chill factor it was 4 degrees. The wind was SO cold it blew right through your clothes. First day of Spring my ass! Thank goodness for my electric blanket at night!
