Automotive Shops
Okay, what really sucks about automotive shops is that they take forever to do simple jobs and you always have to watch what they are doing so they dont jack up your car! Well, not every shop is like that, its best to shop around and find the shop that you feel comfortable and safe with. There was one shop I liked the best on island, because the owner was a real people-person, he would talk you through what needed to be done and he didn’t make you feel stupid and he kept his prices reasonable. Unfortunately, he isn’t here anymore he left to the states, so I had to search once again!
I came to this one shop in Anigua to do my rims and tires, the guy left my door open and he slammed it into the jack!!! Unbelievable, so they had to repair my door, mind you, my car is still spanking brand new so I was pissed off. I have been sitting in this damn car shop for about two days to have a minor repair done on my door. I almost didn’t want to bother anymore, after all, it was a small dent on the corner of my door, but then again it is their fault and they should fix it.
Plus, it sucks being a girl sometimes, because they think that you don’t know crap about cars, but here’s the trick I so do know about cars!!! I know exactly what I need or what I want for my car when I go into a shop so they can’t try and tell me that I need this done or something else totally different from what I came in to get done. Some people are so unbelievable!!!

Father’s Day…
In about 1 hour it will officially be Father’s Day, I am trying to think what I will say to my father. I don’t know what to get him since he already has everything and he just celebrated his birthday this month as well, so hmmm don’t know.
It will be my last Father’s Day with my dad, that is, until he returns. He will be leaving in November for Afghanistan as the team leader. I feel scared for him and pray that he will return safely back here to Guam. I can’t begin to say how much he means to me and how much I have appreciated his help thorughout my life. He will miss a lot of events when he leaves, the most important is my graduation. He has always been the force behind my drive to succeed and finish school. Yes, it has taken me longer than most people, but in between raising a family and work I am proud of myself to finally finish and to have not given up.
So what are the words I will say tomorrow, besides “I love you, dad.”? Maybe, that is enough.
