Oh, what is up with my skin? I just pulled my mirror out of my desk and I got blackheads all over and my pores look huge. Is this a part of growing older? Is this going to be my early 30th birthday present?
I hate aging.
What did I do this fine holiday weekend? Friday I got to see Lisa. It�s about time girlfriend because I missed ya! I gave her her birf-day gifts, and she seemed pretty happy. I�d like to think that I give good gift.
She treated me to Steak and Shake where the children acted horribly�.okay, I was the instigator. I couldn�t resist throwing paper at Jake, Lisa�s son. He threw it back so all in all it was jolly good fun.
I have to give an honorable mention for crappiest side salad to Steak and Shake. I could�ve made a better salad with some weeds and dandelions from the field behind my house! Yick!
Anyway.
After we ate our dandelion and weed sal..I mean..side salads, we finished eating our other rather tasty food. We left. Then, we went by Enterprise to look at my car. Lisa drove us in her new Grand Am that she had just bought from Enterprise. Love that car!!
While we were there I noticed that my guy was busy, again, but the finance manager came out with some not so good news.
I don�t have bad credit. I don�t have good credit. I don�t have any credit. Well, that�s nice to know! How in the hell am I ever going to get credit then? Oh, and the cherry on the pie was the fact that since I leased to buy my car through Enterprise, they don�t report to the credit agencies when it�s paid off. Hey, I just paid $13,500 on a car and I don�t get no love because I didn�t finance through a bank?
Handsome finance manager told me I needed a co-signer if I wanted to see my payments posted to Equifax. I told them I�d try to get my mom to co-sign.
Dejected, I went home and called my mom, swallowed my guts and asked her. She refused, stating that she�s unemployed and on limited income. I have to respect her, and she was really nice about it.
Saturday, as usual, I babysat Dax. He�s really a good kid. However, I was ready to tar and feather him and Jackie for fighting all day Saturday. They were at each other�s throats all day long!
About 11:30 a.m. Saturday morning I went to Enterprise to let them know my mom wasn�t going to co-sign on the car. Matt, my Enterprise guy, said it wouldn�t be a problem, most likely, and I could probably finance through Enterprise itself again. I guess I�ll have to find another way to build my credit.
He told me he�d be calling my account rep on Tuesday after Labor Day and he�d call me on Wednesday (which is tomorrow).
I hope, I hope. I hope I get this car!!
Sunday, I was pooped. I didn�t get moving until 1:00 p.m. When I got moving, I took the brats driving around to see if any of the Halloween stores were open, they weren�t. Then, I took the chillin� to the park to play and act like heathens. It was too hot for the petite flowers, so we only stayed for about � an hour.
Dax had never seen the Jefferson Barracks cemetery so we did a drive through of that. The kid loves cemeteries. Awww, like me!
Monday morning dawned and I felt renewed. My aunt Abby had called me and asked me to stop by Grandma�s. It wasn�t my weekend to go�since I went last weekend. But, I went anyway.
Jackie stayed home with Romy.
Grandma looked very tired and has had a very rough week. First, she�s got a crazed crack-head hanging around her property and coming by every day. 2nd, she just put Grandpa�s dog to sleep because she was getting old and senile. 3rd, Grandma�s sister Ruby died this week.
On top of that�this is the anniversary of my aunt Rachel�s death, and my deceased Grandpa�s birthday.
She�s having a very rough time and she told me over and over how happy she was to see me. She also mentioned that this week was the closest she ever came to leaving this earth.
Grandma is depressed.
I�m going to try to make sure I call her and let her know I love her and I�m thinking about her. She could use a little extra love right now.
Hell, we could all use a little extra love right now.
