Sorry I disappeared again. I've been all caught up in wedding planning and paying an obscene amount of money to get my car fixed.

So, yeah, my car's brakes were getting really noisy and my rear struts needed replacing. Thus, I took my car back to the dealership where my mother purchased it for me last year to find out how much it would cost. Well, being the naive driver I am, I had no idea that there would be diagnostic fees before they even got to the part where they told me how much it would cost to fix the car's problems. And do you know what those b-stards wanted to charge me for an oil change> 40 dollars! 40 dollars! I was so ticked off that I just left in my squeaky car to brood and complain for a few days. After that time, though, I realized that my car really did need to be fixed. What the grand total ended up being I won't even discuss (because I am a lady, and, as I mentioned before, it's obscene).
So the car is fixed, I am broke, and everybody's happy.

Now, about the wedding. It's been crazy, and we still don't have a location nailed down. I won't bore you with the rest of the details, but the best way to sum it up is: Wedding planning is not nearly as much fun as it looks.

Lata, yo. - Q
