I Got IT
SO I got my car last night and I love it! I relaly do love it! But last night the sun roof opened all the way. The guy at the store said it didn't open all the way and it was a moon roof but last night it clearly fully opened and in the book it says it is a sunroof. BUT>.....Today it doesn't open, it just raises up a little like a moon roof. I would swear I was crazy if others didn't see it open last night but I know it did!!! And now it doesn't , that one day with a sun roof was the best thing ever...!!!

No Car For Me...
So today was supposed to be a really exciting day, I was gonna get my glasses, leaving work a half hour early to go get them, then clean out my old car and go get my new car!!! Well first my glasses...I don't really like them as much as I thought I did before. Now I kinda don't like them...maybe I have to get used to them. I have never had glasses or anything but still, I don't know, I wished I liked them more. I will post pictures soon!

Then as I am getting ready to go get my car I get a call from the dealer and it won't be ready to pick up today because the one part for the brakes that they are fixing, the wrong part came in. So it won't be ready til tomorow. See but I had the wake for my old car with (e:jill) and (e:mk) last night and I had cleaned him out alreayd. I don't like prolonging the goodbye. It is already hard enough without this extra wait time where he is an empty mere shell of his old self...I was so ready to have my sexy new glasses and go riding in my fancy new car....and now nothing....but it gets worse.

I have taken like no vacation time this summer and so this week I wanted to take Monday off and only work until 5 on tues-thurs. Because I work a heavily hour packed four day schedule that actually ends up being taking 20 hours off which is half my week. Wel lno I ended up having to work on Monday because this girl was moving and blah blah blah (but she bougth my lunch today and it was relaly yummy so maybe it was worth it) and then on wednesday we have like a pretty not goo dpharmacist so I agreed to work until 9 as long as Bonnie the intern also agreed to work til nine. well no she is only there til 6:30 and I am stuck there til nine with blehness. Whihc also means I can't pick up my car tomorrow cuz I am at work all day which means I won't get my car til tursday. This good week went down the crapper....though I am sure it will bget better soon. and I can debut my new car soon. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I HATE ECKERD RIGHT NOW!!! Ooops sorry i mean RiteAid. Like everyone else just says I am taking vacation and just does it and doesn't care if eveyrone lese gets screwed, I have been screwed soooo many times this summer cuz everyone asked off and so like noone was working except me. But i always give in, no more. I hate it!!!

I'm glad you like the glasses. I think all of us are looking forward to the pics:).
tinypliny - 08/15/07 04:46
I have 3 pair of glasses. I am sorry to admit it but I hate them all in some way or the other - mainly because they make it seem as if the ground is coming up at me. :/
lilho - 08/15/07 01:56
im sure the new glasses just add to your smoldering sex appeal. makes me horny just thinking about it. lets make out.
james - 08/14/07 22:05
I wore glasses for the first time two years ago and I still have the same frames. I never wore them at first, but now I always have them on. Just had to get used to the idea that I wear them, and it no longer looked like I was putting on a silly costume.

Good luck with it and enjoy the car tomorrow.

My New Car
So I did it. I didn't look at as nearly as many cars as I had planned on and I went with a sorta luxury car instead of new small car but anywho as of 6pm tomorow night I am the proud owner of a 2003 Mitsubishi Diamante. I like it a lot I think. We got it at Paul Herman Cars on Hinman. We know at least like 10 people who have bought cars there and super recommended it. So far so good in my opinion too. We'll see how it works out. Here it is...




It seems to have lots of amenities, definetely a step up from all my old cars from people who were gettting rid of them. The mileage is kidna high but those cars seem to last pretyt long from my research. I'm gonna miss Frank though, I am trading him in. Good ol' Frank the Tank , he had me at hello. But now just like Taur and Sades before him, its time to pass him on.
jenks - 08/13/07 19:30
Congrats!!

And I know what you mean... it's a little sad to get rid of ol' faithful, even when you're super-excited about the new car.
leetee - 08/13/07 19:03
congrats on the new wheels. you will have to keep us updated on his/her name!
chico - 08/13/07 18:14
That is a fine lookin machine, (e:mike). Good luck with it!!

Saving the Environment one straw...
at a time. I use a lot of straws. I just like drinking out of straws a lot instead of out of glasses. But that leads to a lot of trashy plastic in waste dumps so now I have come p with a solution, I have been using twizzlers as straws instead. I can eat them and even if i don't htye are biodegradable...score one! oh and they are tasty too!
tinypliny - 08/12/07 17:22
Yay for a smaller carbon footprint!
paul - 08/12/07 01:20
That's great. Maybe you should get a fancy reusable metal one.
amanda - 08/11/07 21:36
Did you hear of the new cereal straws? They are made out of cereal in the shape of a straw. I have been wanting to get some.
mrdeadlier - 08/11/07 21:19
Twizzlers are one of my favorite things about being alive.
