Today was about my car

So we drove my car to the mechanic again. There is a leak in the hose for the power steering. Not good! My dad was saying the mechanic shouldn't charge us because he had to have taken the hose off and put it back on when he was putting in the new engine. I dunno, I'll leave that fight up to my dad. I also got it safety checked. I tried to do that yesterday but the woman who was gonna do it told me the tinting on the front window shouldn't be more than 4 inches so I had to do something about that. Then this morning her husband was the one who did it and he didn't really even look at the car.. SO I feel like I took off the tint for nothing! Owell. I hope its all legal now.

Yesterday I was looking into Gwen Stefani's new album so I could pass some sort of judgement on it. Welp, I think it sucks! I really didn't like the band's latest album and I had a feeling her solo effort was going to be rappy. (Put a C in front of that)

My sister just called me and told me about the sewing machine she and my dad picked out for my mom. My Dad's in Hilo and we hope my mother has no clue! Bigbig secret! It's the Xmas gift she isn't expecting! The past few days she has really been complaining to me about it. I think the machine she's got is older than Nikki, I can't think of a time when my mom didn't have that exact sewing machine... We conspired together because we were all kind of baffled as to what to get her. Lastnight my dad was drawing information out of her but in a way that would never let her guess... He was saying things like, "Why do you need a new one when you still have that one?" This original price tag on this new one was $800! Nikki said it was discontinued and the last one was the display marked down to $600 or so. She said my Dad told the salesperson to tell the manager that he was willing to buy it right now and pay cash, how much could they lower the price. Sounds like he got it for like $499, that's still a big difference! And its got lots of features and all kinds of embroidery things. It'll be fun to get to play with that! Sometimes I feel like I should be sewing because it was the family trade on my mom's side. Her dad was a tailor, and my Gramma's dad was also a tailor, his father the fur trader to the last Czar of Russia. So I feel like its some kind of family trade and I should be keeping it up! Owell, I can learn more later. I always felt it made no sense to take a sewing class when I have my own mother who could teach me the same things. 'Sides, they don't have sewing classes at my college. ^_^
