I ended up being late into work this morning because I had to call the insurance company and go ahead and add the second car to the policy. Somehow we need to now come up with like $230 for the addition of his car. It's beyond me what we're going to do. Love stayed home today because he wasn't feeling well so when I got off work, I came and got him and off to the tax collectors we went. I was worried about the cost of renewing the two-year expired tag (having nightmares of fees and charges) but it was only $41. *whew* So, now we have an insured and validly registered car... that doesn't run, needs a battery, tires and who knows what else after sitting for almost two years. We need to somehow find the money to fix it in addition to the money to pay for the insurance change and both relatively soon or it really is pointless. We need a second car again though so if we can figure something out, perhaps it will make it easier for me to find a permanent, part-time job (and hence, not be so broke when problems exactly like this.)
Lord Stanley's Cup
Round one of the NHL Playoffs are going on right now. The Lightning won their first game last night against the Islanders 3-0. My Love's fav team, the Boston Bruins won their first game Wednesday against Montreal also 3-0 and won tonight as well with an overtime win 2-1. He was happy. The funny thing is though that if the Bruins beat out Montreal in the first round and the Lightning beat out the Islanders, the second round will see it Lightning vs. Bruins. Ouch. My Love's been a Bruins fan for like 24 years but he also really likes our local boys and wants them to do good. It'd be an interesting series to say the least. ;)
Hair Dye - the continuing saga
My Love and I were kind of bored tonight and despite not feeling well, he offered to go out to Super Wal-Mart and pick out some hair dye. I said no partly because I knew he wasn't feeling well and didn't want to make him get out and about, but also, I'm really torn. Seems so many people - way more then I ever thought - like me with my natural, brown hair that I'm torn. I thought it would have been a landslide, but...guess there's a lot who like it as is. Maybe it's not as boring as I think of it. Or maybe it's just that I need to do something different and not that it looks bad. The numbers look like this:
Yes! Go for a dark red like a more burgandy color! - 6 votes 29%
Yes! Go for a brighter red like a fire engine color! - 4 votes 19%
Yes! Go for a more orange-red color! -2 votes 10%
No! Your hair is behaving, don't stress it out! - 2 votes 10%
No, you look better as a brunette! - 7 votes 33%
Now, there were also 4 comments to go red (don't know if they voted also) and one comment to stay brown. Adding it all up, going red - any shade, just red - 12 votes poll/4 comments; staying brown - 9 votes/1 comment. It's much closer then I would have guessed. And still, I'm torn. *chuckles* How silly, eh? Better to ponder my hair color though I suppose the stress over the 2nd car situation. At least it's not going to be towed now. Fucker's legal and they can't do anything about it.
Oh well. Alright, this was a mostly pointless entry but I hadn't written one yet today so I felt like I should. Few random tangents and I'll close.
Blame Lorena. She's the one who suggested I buy some Pom Wonderful after I saw it in the store and pondered what in the world pomegranates tasted like and why they were $3.89/bottle (16oz. size bottle!). I now know. In fact, I've bought the pom/cherry (too tart) and the pom/blueberry (tastes like blueberry pancakes to me). Problem is that my Love had a fit when he saw it was the afore-mentioned $3.89/bottle. But it is uber healthy for you! Super high in antioxidants. And I'm supposed to make sure to take them because of my cataracts. And it's not like I eat "green, leafy vegetables" that they're commonly found in (bleck!). The health argument won out. And I'm trying to get them every couple days/once a week and drink some just to get some antioxidant intake. It's an expensive but interestingly tart, tasty and just odd way of doing it.
Forgotten second tangent I had another thing to blather about but then I spent so much time thinking about the Pom Wonderful (and no, I still don't know why the damned juice is so pricey! hey you! Yeah you! go buy some. maybe the price will go down if it's not such a quirky item!) that I forgot. So I guess I'll just close. Nighters.
