Just got back from lunch.
I took a bunch of teachers to eat at a chinese restaurant. I'm starting to feel better about my decision to leave Saturn. Everyone told me my new car was me. I asked them if it's because it's big and wide and they laughed and said no silly, because it's fun and perky like you. Jim has threatened that it's Dallas Cowboys colors. I told him it would have a Washington Redskins symbol on it before it ever got a stupid silver star. I was thinking of doing it up with a big assed Boston "B". Some other things I am getting is an alarm and tinting. Gotta look that stuff up on the net.
So back to the Saturn. I have a calendar they gave me with a picture of me when I bought the Saturn. I get a tear in my eye whenever I see that picture. Or for that matter a Saturn. I miss my car. However this was a smart move on my part. The Saturn was the best economical car ever, but reliability was starting to look dim as they don't make my car anymore. Surprisingly, I found I got super attached to the Saturn. Also surprisingly, I have a safer feeling when I'm in the PT Cruiser driving it around. It's nice being a little higher up and in a heavier car. SOLID.
In other news related to the car, my Mother and Grandma have turned this into an ordeal. The day we heard about my Saturns car issues, I called. I really just wanted advice, but money help would have been nice. I've been doing things on my own for so long, so it wasn't that I was asking for a handout. I would have paid it back, unlike unnamed members of my family. SO instead of helping me, they called my father nonstop annoying him while he was doing his job to tell him to help me. The question wasn't whether he'd help me, I KNEW he would. The question was, I needed advice about what to do and maybe a little money help to help me get my foot in the door. All my life my mother's been absentee, and this was her one chance and once again, disappointment.
What's worse is the only reason they annoyed my father about helping me, is because my Mom really needs me to come up to AZ for Thanksgiving because she has PLANS for what I'm going to do there. Stuff like: cook, take my grandma everywhere, drive around and get people at the airport. I won't have a seconds peace until I'm in the car and on the way back home.
So when I called to say I got a PT Cruiser, WITHOUT anyones help, they offer to make the first payment for me. WHAT THE FUCK?
I have the screwiest family EVER.
Also, whoever registered that alt name at issues, thanks. That totally made my day.
