I wanted flog someone, that's for sure, when I came out of Penney's today to another flat tire (my second one in 4 weeks). Did I drive on the rim? You betcha. I wasn't going to sit there for 2 hrs waiting for AAA when I could drive it 500 yards to the gas station. Turns out they messed up the valve when they checked the air pressure yesterday.

Now that I've posted the teasers (wasn't that fun??? you guys rock!) I'm have to drop off my car because my steering wheel has a seizure when I press the brakes--uh, not a good sign--and then beg Nate to drop me off at Borders.

1. Back from oblivion! Actually I've had a pretty busy couple of weeks--Orthodox (aka "Kosher") Christmas last week (I will post pics soon) and I also got a lot of writing done.

I'm grouchy right now.

I am not thankful that I'm still without a car, especially since I have to work this afternoon. The bus is out. I'd need more than pepper spray to get me there alive. I'd need a nine ( Read more... )

3:30 I come out of the post office yesterday, unlock my car door with a key, as always, because my autothingybattery died ages ago--and the alarm goes off. The alarm I haven't heard in at least 5 years.

I can't shut it off. Neither can I start the car because, yanno, in this ancient, beat-up, 140,000+ mile vehicle's grandiose mind, I'm trying to ( Read more... )
