My car is on it's last legs... so to speak

Unfortunately my bad car luck has come back to haunt me. It turns out my starter is bad. Luckily I added road side assistance to my insurance for $15 extra every 6months. I got a free tow out of that and a friend of ours family has a shop that's less than 5miles from our place. We trust them and I know we're not being ripped off, but sadly it's still going to cost $300. Merry Christmas to us! The car should be ready on Monday and we leave for Iowa on Tuesday barring any snow storm troubles. I'm so grateful that we have good friends and nice co-workers who've been letting us bum rides all week. It probably helps that we've been feeding them homemade breakfast burritos every morning.

*Side note... Breakfast burritos are easy to make and quite tasty. You can make them any way you want and then wrap them individually and freeze them for an easy grab and go breakfast. Ours microwave in 2mins. We scrambled and seasoned 14 eggs. Diced and fried 2 medium potatoes, 1/2 a yellow onion, and 1 green pepper. We added 1 bag of mexi-cheese, 12 tortillas, and salsa. We made 6 with salsa and 6 with out. We would have added meat had we thawed out any bacon or sausage that my parents brought us, but sadly we didn't think of that in time. Next time. Yum I can't wait!
