waiting.

i am sitting at the car shop. i brought my car in because a brake light was out and i needed an oild change. of course you know that coming to the car shop means liquidating your bank account...

so i guess we need the following:
60,000 mile check up - $850
allignment - $117
new tires - $690
new key fob thing - $40
.....i think they told me something else too, but i don't remember.

regardless...i wasn't planning to spend $1,600....so i am not! :)

i am getting done only what i came here for.

the rest can be done after i break the news to john...before the charges are incurred.

i really need to learn how to work on cars to save the labor charges. they are about 75% of the bill it seems.

i also need to wait for an hour and a half in the waiting room for the oil change, tires rotated and brake light fixed. i figured, good, they have a TV and wireless. there was a little old man in here and he was watching the "drawing" channel....a lady was shading the nostrils of a nose...i was not thrilled. of all things you could draw....and draw on TV!!! whatever.

so here i sit....still...trying to figure out how to spend my time. i have another 30 min left (i hope).
