Don't kick your car!!

Ok, wow. It’s been a while again. What’s going on with me. Where did I leave off. I think it was when I came home from visiting my new friend Chris. I came home and I watched some CSI. Then I went to bed. When I woke up it was Sunday and honestly that was over a week ago so I can’t really remember what I did. I know I went to church and went for lunch with my friend Rett and Jodi. After lunch I came home and watched some CSI. I think I may have had a nap(I must include that part because that’s an exciting part of my day...maybe not for you to read about, but trust me I cherish that part of the day). I went to Bible Study in the evening and that was fun. On Monday I worked and then I came home and made some dinner. That’s right people I cook. Here are a couple of pictures of what I made. There is lasagna with a lot of cheese. Don’t worry people I didn’t go out into public after eating any.













Then I also made noodle salad...one of my favorites. You can guess what I ate for most of the week. haha. I’m just going to skip Tuesday because again, over a week ago and I can’t remember. I know that on Wednesday I went bowling with the youth group. I even took a picture to share with you. Yay!! I was playing my own rules. I said that the person with the lowest score wins. Kind of like golf. Everyone was like well that’s easy you just have to get gutter balls. I was like no you have to try and get the pins down as hard as you can..but the person with the lowest score still wins. You see, I always lose the other way of playing. Well at the end of the 9th frame(I was about to call it an inning and remembered that’s not the right sport...haha) I was winning with my rules. I knew I could do it. Then the tenth frame came. My way of bowling is to just go up, throw the ball down the ally and walk away...don’t watch the ball because once it’s released you can’t do anything about it. So I walked over to pick up the next ball, when I turned around all my pins were down. I screamed, everyone cheered...I was like NOOOOO!!! haha. So I threw the next ball down, same thing like always, throw and walk away. I turned around with the next ball in my hand...again everyone cheers and I scream...NOOOOO!!! I lost to my own way of playing the game. How redonkulous. Everyone laughed at me that I lost both ways. haha. I was like well I came in second what can you say to that. haha. I’m so immature. After youth group we all went to McDonalds. That brings us to Thursday and Friday don’t know what I did those two days. Oh yes I do.. I worked. On Saturday I was suppose to work 11-4 and they asked me if I could stay till 5...sure no prob. Then they asked if I could stay through the supper hour, sure no prob....and then I went home at 7:15. Good day. I don’t mind the extra hours. In the evening my friend Andrew and I went to see a movie. We were going to see this one movie 16 blocks but we were late so instead we went and saw the movie 8below. I don’t know if you’ve all seen it but I must be heartless because I didn’t cry. I teared up in one part...but no full out tears. Everyone I talked to said they bawled during the movie. I cried more during the pre-view than during the movie. Crazy. After the movie Andrew was driving to take me home when the subject of parallel driving came up. Once he found out that I couldn’t do it he was determined for me to learn. haha. The reason I don’t know how is because when I was taking my exam in bc if there was ice on the ground they wouldn’t make you do it on your test. Instead all you had to do was back into a parking spot. I can do that fine. Don’t worry people, I don’t even attempt to parallel park so there is no worry for your safety. haha. Just don’t expect a spot right in front of the building if it’s parallel parking and I’m your driver. So I came home and went to bed. I didn’t wake up until 2pm the following day. That’s right I went to bedside baptist church. I was tired. In the afternoon my friend Mike surprised me and gave me a visit. He was showing me his girlfriends new car...yay it’s a Honda. woo hoo. Sorry for my lack of enthusiasm. I’m sure she’s happy with it. That’s when I decided I was bored in the moment and kicked my tire on my car. I set off the car alarm...haha. So funny. Then my friend Andrew came over, we had made plans to go and see the Curious George matinee. Such a cute movie. After it was over I was like, that was all the books except the one where Curious George goes to the circus. Andrew looked at me like I was crazy and was like, you remember all that? I was like, yep. Curious George was my favorite children’s book growing up. That and The BFG by Roald Dalh and all his books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and all of Robert Munch’s books. That’s right I like them all. After the movie Andrew was heading out of town so he dropped me off and went on his way. I came inside and that’s right watched some CSI because I went and rented some more. While I was watching them Mike came over for a little more of a visit. We watched VW commercials. You can watch them too at www.leftlanenews.com. They are so stinkin’ funny. Watch both the GTI(my fast) and the Unpimp your ride. Watch them in that order because the unpimp your ride ones are so much funnier. Then we just hung out and then he left. I was going to go to bible study but I was coming down with a headache and my right foot was starting to hurt for no reason. So I just stayed home. I didn’t have to work on Monday but I had to take my car into the shop so I knew I had to be up early. My car was giving me problems on Friday, it was super hard to shift and I popped my shoulder out 3 times. This isn’t that rare(my shoulder popping out) but I wasn’t going to take that kind of abuse from my car. (So ironic and you’ll find out why in a few minutes of reading). So I didn’t go to bed. Why? Because by the time I was done watching CSI it was already 4am. So I thought I might as well stay up now. So I watched some more CSI. When it was 7:30 though I couldn’t keep my eyes open any more and gave in and went to sleep. When I woke up I took my car in. Ben, the mechanic, asked me how I got my car there. I was like, I drove it. He asked yes, but did you stay in just first and second gear? I was like, um no. Then he asked me how I did that and I said I reafed on it. He said well, it’s on it’s last reaf. I was like, oh, ok. So he told me that I needed a new clutch. He was so afraid to tell me and when he did I was like, ok. haha. I think it shocked him that I didn’t react like he thought I would. haha. I love to surprise people. By this time my foot was really killing me. So I phoned Lanny(my ex-boyfriend, he owed me a couple of rides) and asked him if he could give me a ride. So he came and then took me to the doctor who told me that it looked like I had a stress fracture in my foot(how can you tell that???? Weird) and then he told me that if it hadn’t improved by friday to come back and I’ll have to take xrays. yikes. I was like ok. So I hobbled out of the office and came home and layed on the couch for the rest of the night. boo. On Tuesday(we’re on Wednesday now) I went to work. That’s right, I didn’t listen to the doctor and I went to work. I could actually walk on it when it was in a shoe. But I have to wear my ugly shoes because those are the only ones my foot will fit into right now. I am in the process of signing my foot up for the show the Biggest Loser.(for feet). There is no vainity when your foot is twice its regular size. After work I came straight home and put my foot up and did nothing. Again boo. I love to go out on the town with my friends for coffee...but no such luck. But I did go to bed early and woke up this morning at 4am. Woo hoo. Why? Because of
*Crazy Cat Lady Moment*
My cat decided that she loved me. She also decided to share this affection with me at 4am. How you ask? By licking my foot that was high on a pillow tower. She licked my toes and woke me up. Once I woke up she meowed, came over to me and cuddled and fell asleep. I was so mad at her. I was like, hey! You wake me up so you can go to sleep? Whatever...she’s so cute and cuddly though so you can’t stay mad at her.
*Crazy Cat Lady Moment* is over.
So since I was up I decided I would play Roller Coaster Tycoon. I love that game. I decided I would follow one of the kids that was sick. I don’t know why, but I get a sick joy out of watching kids get sick at the fair. haha...nice pun Michelle. So I named him Marcus the pukus. haha. No wonder the kid was sick all the time, he would eat a bunch of food and then go on the biggest rollercoaster. What a dumb bum. I know it’s just a cartoon, but still. I played this game until 7:30am. Then I went to bed. When I got up I think it was noon. I didn’t have to work until 5:30 this evening. I got up and went to pick up my car. 850 dollars later my car felt like new. I was scared to drive it because I didn’t want to stall it. I’m so use to having a worn down clutch that a new one is freaky. They showed me what my old one looked like and they said do you see these fingers. I was like the ones on your hand and he said no the ones on this part haha....I’m so funny. He said that they were so worn down that there was nothing left of them. I told him that maybe they just needed a manicure and they looked pretty shiny to me. haha. He didn’t get me though so I stopped fooling around and listened. All I got was that I got as much use out of the clutch as I was ever going to get and blah blah blah. I was like, oh, so I did good. And left it at that. haha. Good times, good times. After I got my car I went for coffee with a friend of mine. After coffee I went to work. I served a table of 24 people. They were so nice and I loved serving them. I could make jokes and they would laugh and I was like included as their group. When they were taking their group photo I was like, oh, I can stay out for a few minutes and they waited until I was in the shot before they took it. How sweet!!
After work I went to youth group where we watched the first part of Passion of the Christ. Afterwards we went to McDonalds and discussed it. When I went to leave, because I’m a slow walker right now I left after everyone else. However, when I went to go and start my car it wouldn’t start. So I took a cab home and tomorrow, my adventure will continue. To Be Continued!!!! Sorry for the length I hope you enjoyed.:) The moral of the story boys and girls? Don't kick your car! Ps. loading the pictures isn't working for me right now...so the pictures will be posted soon.
