I feel as though I live at the tire place it's like my 2nd home I'm there so bloody often. I have to get an oil change at least once every month and a half if not more often due to my commute. As well I have summer and winter tires so I have to change off every 6 months depending on the weather.

I've also recently had the pleasure of a dead battery, not to mention my front brakes and their need for calipers.....no idea what those are, but I know that the brakes cost me $550 and was told the back ones would need fixing in about 6 months. Yippee!!

So today I spent my morning....you guessed it....at the tire place. I was in need of an oil/tire change. Turns out I had a nail in one of my summer tires but they fixed it so all should be good (though I'm going to be a bag of nerves hopping on the highway today).

The man who cashed me out made me laugh so hard. He saw my Cosmo magazine and commented on the cover girl "Hey is that Carrie Underwood?" I told him it was not to which he replied that it had to be. I showed him the girls name and he was like "well sure looks like her." He kept going on about her so I asked him if he wanted the magazine for later.....he didn't find that too funny.....but I did!!

I had help getting the tires into my car last night.....but had no help getting them out today. I have a love/hate relationship with them as I love the safety of the winter tires....but I loathe changing them off as they are heavy and cumbersome. So as per usual I ended up with a skinned knee, sore back and an ankle that got smashed on a rim......no idea but I'm in a bit of pain now. It might have to do with the fact that I'm a tad bit clumsy or more likely the fact that it's difficult to lift those heavy suckers out of the trunk!! But no worries, it's my friends birthday today so I plan to drown my pain in some drinks this evening and help her celebrate. Have a great weekend!!
