Broken EverythingCategory: house
I was just saying how everything is broken on (e:leetee)'s journal. Today the furnace decided to shut down too. That makes a broken stove, broken tv, broken car, broken furnace. I seriously can't take one more thing.
At noon we get the new car. This is totally overshadowed by the lack of heat. Unfortunately, I can't get a hold of our friend that installed the furnace. Anyone know a good company I can call?

Yikes - looks like you had a rough weekend! Did you get it fixed? Whom did you call in the end?

That sucks so bad. At least you can close yourselves off downstairs! The furnaces always break on the coldest day of the year. I hope it isn't too costly for you guys.

wood floor twistCategory: house
I really like this twist in the upstairs bedroom floor. I have a feeling the floor under the current floor in the dining room and living room is something similar.

Wait... what do mean by floor under the current floor. Do you mean to say that the shiny wood floor is masking this wood floor with patterns?!

Old Malibu, new malibu; doneCategory: cars
I can't believe they gave us $1000 trade in on the old Malibu. It has no dash lights, no heat, a rusting out falling off gastank and enough dings that I can't count them.
First we went to the Ford store. The focus felt crappy compared to our old Malibu. Then we were going to go see the Honda accords but I didn't want to risk the drive out to transit in our about to die heatless car so we went right to the Padlock Chevy dealer on deleware in Kenmore. My parents bought their cars there and suggested it.
Like 5 minutes after we got there we settled on a certified 2009 Malibu LS with 14,000 miles with perfect carfax and 4 year warranty. The inside was nice and roomy for 3 unlike the cobalt
I was determined to make it a one day shopping experience and I did it!

Hahah - I almost thought you were going to mention my most favorite stair-queen EVER. Haven't seen him in such a long time... maybe he is the right person who can help my form in salsa.

New Car TimeCategory: cars
I need a new car. Our car is ten years old. We treated it like crap and its totally not taking it anymore. In fact I don't think we every washed the inside which at this point is like haunted house dusty.
When we bought it, it was the most expensive thing we had ever purchased. For like two weeks we treasured it and then we bumped it the first time. After that it was always like the red-headed stepchild car.
Unfortunately, this is the worst time of year to go car shopping. Especially, considering our vehicle drinks about 1 gallon of coolant per trip, even in this extreme cold.
I wish car shopping involved no haggling. It always makes me want to kill the other person when there is wheeling and dealing involved.
