I make too much money to be able to lease an income-controlled apt. in Ankeny...but they are the only apt. I've found that has W/D hookups and would let me keep my kitty. Every other place I've found which allows pets and has W/D hookups wants about $800/mo for rent.
I bought a pair of shoes from Kohl's and realized afterwards that I had a giftcard that would have covered them.
When your car suddenly starts pulling to the right really hard, it means you have a flat tire. But at least it wasn't raining like it was for 3 days prior. There are still kind strangers in this world who will help you change a tire while wearing dress clothes. When said good Samaritan stops to help, let him do the work so you don't do dumb things like try to put a lugnut back on backwards or give yourself a blood blister when hanging a spare tire on the studs, thus enforcing the dumb blonde stereotype.
Tires with bulges in the sidewall cannot be repaired, only replaced. Low-profile tires with directional tread are hard to come by in Ames.
People look at you funny when you drive down a 30-mile stretch of highway with a large tumbleweed-stick sorta thing stuck under your car. Mechanics have awesome band-aids when you do other dumb things like scrape your knuckle when removing the stick-stowaway from underneath the car.
We'll see how I do tonight running on about 3 hours of sleep.
