in my down time

i am bored here at work today..so why not blog?! sure, no one reads it. but let's pretend. :P So first off to backtrack slightly I will tell of a harrowing journey to Willis Texas to visit Rex's dad, brother, and step-mom...i think i mentioned that my lovely little pt cruiser had not been working properly, we got it fixed (allegedly) and were headed down. About halfway there Rex tells me the car is heating up...so we stop at subway in some small town and wait. It cools right off so we try again..about an hour later it heats up again..so we pull over and wait some more. Needless to say this continued to happen so a 6 hour trip took more like 8.5 (yay!). While there, Rex and his dad looked things over and replaced some parts and we thought it was fixed. NOT SO. On the trip back we made it about 2 hours and it started heating up again..so we stopped..and waited..and waited..and waited. It would not cool down. So we stayed the night (and I called into work) and the next day we replaced the thermostat and started off again..and made it to Ft Worth when guess what...it heated up again. So we stopped. And waited..only this time we were waiting for my dad and brother Jake to come through with there big trucks and trailers and haul my stupid car home (and give us a ride). So here I am...without a working vehicle..little money to my name..finally coming to terms with the fact that I HAVE to get a different vehicle. I have never bought a vehicle. I don't want to. It makes me want to cry thinking about how much money they cost. I don't want to. Yes, I realize pouring more money into my car is a waste, but I DON'T WANT TO BUY A CAR! Ok, I know this isn't going to change it, but I needed to vent. Thanks.


On another note, Thanksgiving was great (we missed Skate and her family ALOT) and I made an apple pie...
