1. SIGH
2. I am going to get my car washed tonight. It has rain spots on it. I am oddly nervous about this. Weird.
3. I also need to deposit a check, buy stamps and drop off the multiple prescriptions that my new neurologist gave me last week.
4. My new neurologist told me to stop drinking caffeine, which was funny since I don't drink any since I had to give up diet coke. I guess the one cup of coffee a week might have been causing problems. Whatever. I am giving it up. It does mean that I can't take any caffeine to get rid of a migraine either.
5. I had a migraine most of the weekend. It sucked.
6. I did eat a lot of pie. That didn't suck.
7. I am going to make dinner tonight because gwangi brought my computer to be fixed (the power supply went out) and is painting the woodwork for my bathroom. I am using a recipe from Real Simple.
8. Yesterday morning, when I didn't have a headache and it wasn't super hot, I cleaned my house. It is so nice to have a clean house again. I don't like it when it is so hot out that I don't want to clean.
9. Tonight I am going to make Monkey Bread for my coworkers because I am nice like that.
10. My boss is on vacation this week. It is hard to get things done because everyone is checking in with me on things they normally go to him for. :\

You may want to wait on that wash. It's supposed to rain either today or tomorrow.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I have been waiting all week! It has rain spots on it! It isn't as shiny as it was! :(

I might wait on it but I really want a shiny car (plus I get unlimited carwashes at the dealership).

[saphirepassion.livejournal.com]

WOW, that is quite a list to accomplish. :) I am sorry to hear about the migraines happening though over the weekend. I had the same problem with the migraines with weekend to because of the WTF weather.

C'mon, let's see pics of the new car already.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

If it ever stops raining here I'll get Zach's camera out and take some pictures of it. I also need to name my car. "newcar" is only going to be a good name for a few months.

[seattleforge.livejournal.com]

What colour camry did you get?

[bertine.livejournal.com]

I got a black cherry Mazda6. I am taking it you missed this post

[seattleforge.livejournal.com]

Black cherry? That sounds HOT!!!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

It is! The color is much darker than what my post looks like. I do need to take some pictures. It is so pretty.

[seattleforge.livejournal.com]

I hope you'll be happy together forever.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

At least 10 years. The deal is that Zach gets the next car in 5 years.

You should go look at the interior of the Mazda6, I really like it. I didn't like it in the dark color at all, but I love it in the beige.

[seattleforge.livejournal.com]

I would be disowned if I came home with a Mazda and if I were to do that it would only be for the RX-8.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL, well... if you go to a car show or the state fair, check it out. :P

Yeah, the RX-8 is nice.

The dealership that I bought my Mazda from was attached to a Maserati dealership. While I was signing papers the sales woman took Zach to look at those cars. They had a $350,000 Bently!

My SVP gave me a ride in her Bentley Continental. Alloy gray exterior with a blue-red leather interior. I was afraid I was going to become aroused. Luckily she ruined the experience a bit because the footwell was full of empty Mountain Dew cans. Blech!

I've gone to the Mazda dealership. Once upon a time I got a family discount there as they were part of Ford. That's why so many of their cars share platforms.

It is good to know that a car is a car, even if it is a really expensive trash collector.

I am a little bummed that the fusion didn't work out, though I like the interior of the 6 much better.

[seattleforge.livejournal.com]

Y'know what? When you said you had trouble with the height issue in the Fusion I called my cousin (at FoMoCo) and he concurred. The figured they'd get more customers with the SUV style seating than they would tall people. Sounds idiotic to me.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

It was so stupid! You have the same car base with the Mazda6 and Zach has more than enough room in it! With a power seat and a sunroof! Drives me nuts.

[seattleforge.livejournal.com]

You could have removed his extra legs.

[pallid-regina.livejournal.com]

Well...crap. I just put together your tea sampler from your RocketHub Rewards and I did several caffeinated ones because I thought you were OK with caffeine again.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL, that is okay, I am pretty sure I am not going to follow it for very long. Plus Zach will try them. :)

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

People actually pay to have the power supply replaced? I should open a power supply replacement store.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL, that is what the sysadmins at work said. They said they would have done it for baked goods. Seriously? I did not want to deal with it today and I needed a working computer. The whole thing cost $50 and my computer is working and it took Zach maybe half an hour. I think that is worth it.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

I hope that doesn't include how much the new power supply cost...

[bertine.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it does. How much did you think it should cost?

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Well, when I build a computer, the power supply is one of the very few things I /never/ cut corners on. I mean, I'll happily get a cheaper AMD CPU and cheaper RAM and a cheaper motherboard, but NOT a power supply. As a result, it is usually the single most expensive component in any computer I build. I usually drop like $100-$200 on the PSU, depending on what kind of machine I'm building.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL

I am running a 5 year old Dell that I have put $100 of ram into and upgraded to windows 7. I am pretty sure the power supply that I put into it is an upgrade from the one that came with the computer. This computer just needs to 1) allow me to get on the internet 2) hook up to the xbox 360 so we can watch tv shows that I have downloaded. It doesn't do much more than that.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

That's almost even MORE surprising, since Dell use proprietary stuff. Then again I suppose they can yank one out of an old one they might have lying around for parts.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

It was a new power supply. I made sure to buy a dell that I could swap up the parts on.
