SO...I'm drinking a beer even tho I'm on medication & the old man thinks women have no business drinking beer (FUCK YOU). I haven't had one in ages, & I really REALLY need one tonight. Thursday was my day off, & I got a text from my boss: my coworker passed away. Now, even tho work sucks for most of us, there's always that one person who somehow makes everything better just by showing up. This was... » Continue Reading
My best friend has been living in Montclair for a few years now. Before, she used to live a short walk from me - until the price of the monthly train pass kept forcing her to move further away with each increase. I was very unhappy to lose her...until I went to visit her for the first time 3 years ago. OMG!!! The SHOPPING!!! The FOOD!!! The FARMERS MARKET!!! The BREWERY!!! (Yes, I have a farmers m... » Continue Reading
Effective immediately, I'm indefinitely out of commission: no more car meets. I suffered several incidents back to back over the course of a few days, & I'm officially beyond broke so I can't even effect repairs to get the diva back to normal. I'm so fucked. The first one started Thursday when I picked up the diva after getting the window mechanism replaced. Unfortunately, they said they could not... » Continue Reading
I had a great weekend, not gonna lie...I spent Saturday at the car meet with my friends, had some pizza, got my ice cream, plus some cool lids (love my pink Hello Kitty hat!!!). It was a great afternoon, even tho the evening drive back was horrible - people really need to show some respect for the road!! One thing I noticed was one of my friends talking with a few other people about a car guy who ... » Continue Reading
What a fucking hike!! I had to forego cruise night tonight to go to a book club meeting - on the border with Nassau county!! UGH!!! By the time I finally parked an hour later the poor diva was exhausted (and the driver was starving!!!). I found some really good food, & perfect sweets at a cat cafe (brought a sprinkle shake back for my hostess). The meeting was very lively & animated, & everyone wa... » Continue Reading
Just like the title says, my Triller account is going to be more active soon. I stumbled onto them while looking for an alternative to tiktok - I absolutely will NEVER go on tiktok, I will not watch any videos sent to me from tiktok, I simply want nothing to do with it. [FULL DISCLOSURE: I had the app on my phone for all of 2 days before I deleted it. I never registered with them.] Triller is stil... » Continue Reading
Dear Mother Nature, Do you need meds or something? I'm serious - car show season is barely a month old, & so far you have skunked almost every single event I've tried to attend. NO BUENO, BIATCH. Seriously, I have not been pleased with the weather so far - I've only had maybe 3 nice outings & the rest of them have been either cold, rained out, or both. One of my friends was supposed to race in Mar... » Continue Reading
The passage of time becomes more obvious every day…a line here, a wrinkle there…grays appearing constantly throughout the day where before there were none…energy tends to wane at the most inopportune moments…and I HATE IT. I am not ready for this. » Continue Reading
SO...I don't know about the rest of the world, but I am looking forward to the summer like nobody's business. This weekend is the dreaded daylight savings time (which, IMHO needs to be abolished - some of us actually enjoy the nighttime, plus we really need our sleep!!!), & hopefully soon after all the cruise night hotspots will become active again. I've been trying to get the diva in shape best a... » Continue Reading
I'm currently on vacation...winter break. I made a quickie beer run after work, & went down to the marina to clear my head. The old diva is doing very well - replaced another O2 sensor, & it seems to have done the trick. Still stalling out on me randomly, but hopefully when I get some more cash on her card I'll take care of that too. Oil gauge seems to be behaving better lately - no more cratering... » Continue Reading
Patch.com is a really great source of local information...I know this because while reading the headlines one day I stumbled across a post advertising a car show about a town or 2 away from me. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it (night owls cannot get up early - we just can't), but I did a little digging & found one of the organizers had a weekly cruise night just a few towns over from me. I c... » Continue Reading
Damn, Taylor Hawkins gone. I have several Foo Fighters albums - Hell, I drove home from work blasting Medicine at Midnight - but my all time favorite has to be Sonic Highways. I have the cd, vinyl, & the DVD - which, if you haven't watched it, you have to. Seriously. It's more than just behind the scenes of the album - it's all about the history of music, from each of the cities the band recorded ... » Continue Reading
