It is 25 degrees out.

TWENTY FIVE DEGREES.

I'm sure people in more northern areas are laughing at me, but 25 degrees to me means the world has frozen over and we are all going to die.

Cannot cope. 25 degrees.

Stupid expensive car...

The starter needs to be replaced. They said that's $400. But then at least the car will start up in the morning. (In theory.)

Also, the car will not pass inspection due to a problem with the brakes. One I knew about and kept putting off to fix. Well, my procrastination turned the problem into a $500 problem.

Also, one of my rear lights was out. That explains all the nighttime honking lately. I thought it was just because people are horrible and evil. The repair place says that's really easy to fix, so they're just going to charge me for the bulb. No labor. After already charging me $900, how generous. :P

But hey, the windshield wipers passed! :)

Add on the actual cost of the inspection and the oil change I needed, and I've got about a $1,000 repair bill! What a holiday treat! At least for the repair guy's kids.... :P

Spinach and Artichoke Dip was a success!

One co-worker told me he, "munched the hell out of it," which I think means he liked it.
