Well we went out to look at the truck and DH didn't want to get it. Said it'd be too much "work" to get it to what he wants and they wanted too much, it had a lot of body filler and looked good from afar but not when you got up to closer inspection.

We fixed his GTI, turns out it was a fuse box and that cost $367, not bad. But in October when he gets his bonus I'm going to allocate some of that to getting the work done on his car that it needs such as new tires, new struts, cabin filter, etc. I told him I'd let him "fix up" the GTI and be more willing to do that than I would getting him a money pit of a vehicle we can't afford. And I know if he customizes his GTI enough, even just little things, he'll be more apt to keep it.

I have just been stressing a lot to him that as much as he may want something, if we have to finance it, it reduces our daily living and he's getting used to being on a budget and has decided he doesn't like it either so the only solution is to GET OUT OF DEBT

Other than that, I have my first exam for my Operations Auditing class in less than 3 hours and I am STRESSED. I feel ready and prepared but its a LOT of info. The professor gave us 305 study questions and said he'd pick 25 of those, then gave us 9 essay questions of which we will have to answer 5.

They are...

- Know the Institute of Internal Auditing' definition of Internal Auditing
- Know the IIA Code of ethics, the outline and what it does
- Know and describe the 8 steps in an Internal Audit Activity's Charter
- Know and describe the 8 steps in an Internal Audit Activity's Engagement
- Describe the steps in Risk Assessment and Audit Scheduling
- Know the major headings for the IIA's Standards (Attribute and Professional... which there are 11)
- Describe the steps in a Preliminary Assessment
- Know what is meant by Quality Control and its four components
- Be able to relate management objectives to operational procedures to audit evidence, audit objectives, and audit procedures.

I will be soooo happy after I am done with this exam and can actually enjoy a few days w/o this over my head. And then just one more on August 5th.
