Bad luck and good luck

Well, as caitirin mentioned, our car's breaks went kaput and they're going to have to replace the whole break line from back to front, so it'll cost us just shy of $800 -_- We're going to see about getting a new car (new to us, at least) when we get our tax refunds.

But... we had the dishwasher repair guy over today, because THAT seems to have broken too (we thought it was the soap door neglecting to pop open and let the soap out)... and they've decided to just install a new one XD Since it's so ancient that if we were to move out, they'd replace it anyway. We'll be washing dishes by hand for about a week and then we'll have a brand spanking new dishwasher!

In the meantime, we've been using coastal_spirit's lovely shiny car, which rides so smooth. We went to LL Beans today and I got some shoes :3 My clogs were wearing out so that the fabric in the heels is pretty much gone, so I got some new ones in a different style. I got them from the men's department *giggles* I tried on a black pair in the women's department, and they felt great, but I asked for brown and the attendant brought out the wrong color. So when she brought out the brown, they felt too small O_o We went and exchanged Caitirin's boots and were going to go to lunch before deciding on whether I wanted shoes or not, and I saw they had the same ones in the men's department and I tried those and they fit great. For future reference, I am a 7 1/2 men's Beans shoe.

We're going to have baked tofu and apple-feta-walnut salads for dinner.

I started FFXII last night! It's preeetty. I'm kind of worried, though, because I just got to a part where they were all "This next part is long! You may want to create an additional save file!" and I was like "Er, whatever" and didn't. So I hope I'm not stuck forever in the palace at Rabanastre with no potions or something. *shrugs* Oh well, if I have to start the game over, I've only played a couple of hours.

Time to put away laundry. Woo.

Oh, and! You know how Freija is a total escape artist kitty and always tries to slip out the door at any chance she gets? Well, Caitirin bought a little kitty harness and leash thing the last time she was at the vet's so we could bring Freija out into the hallway like she wanted so badly. And yesterday, we let her get used to the harness a while and then tried to take her out into the hallway and she was like "For the love of all that's holy, LET ME BACK IN!!" *rolls eyes*

hmm. that bit of FFXII sounds familiar. I've not played it for ages though. It is *very* pretty. Has the sky pirate turned up?

boo for expensive brakes!

Not yet :) At least, I don't know one yet. I may have seen him or her and don't know it :) I like it very much so far. I'm more partial to the FF games where the main character is kind of a punk rather than the standoffish silent type.

oh, you'll know when he appears. He's fantastic.

Silly Kitty!

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Oh YAY ^_^

[elaby.livejournal.com]

She is!

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was a post of many different feelings ^_^

Sorry about your car expense. *pets*

Yay for a new dishwasher!

Silly Freija! Cats are such unpredictable creatures - they just don't know what they want.

[elaby.livejournal.com]

They just don't! Those weird little things. But we love them :)

Do you remember me taking Kenshin out on the porch at the old house and having him virtually leap out of my arms in an effort to get back through the sliding glass doors into the "safety" of the house? Mari's a little braver - which isn't necessarily a good thing.

[elaby.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do remember! And he's scared of birds, too ^^;;

Poor little wussy boy. I do love him so, though. :)

[elaby.livejournal.com]

What a cute icon! He is a wussy boy, but he's just a baby ^_^

[coastal-spirit.livejournal.com]

He is a baby. He's a little boy in a big boy suit. ^^

*giggles* He so is!
