Last night I came the closest I I'll ever come to fulfilling my childhood fantasy of sleeping on a cloud.

Q had a bunch of work to do, and ended up sleeping on the couch, so I was in bed, alone.  We had washed the sheets and made the bed, but we didn’t put the pillows back where they go (and for some reason, we have about 6 pillows all of a sudden [weird because Q only uses one, and I use 2]).  Anyway, my dad bought me a Snoogle this weekend, because my lower back has been killing me (especially Saturday after hauling, unpacking, hanging, and throwing beads).  (The Snoogle [I hate the name] is a pregnancy pillow, that’s supposed to ease back tension by giving support to all of the places pregnant gals normally need it).

Anyway, I usually use 2 pillows every night (one under my head, and the other under my right arm), but last night, I used the snoogle and the arm pillow only, so the rest of the bed was covered in pillows.  It was so much fun!  Definitely not practical for every day, but totally awesome last night.  Anyway, just thought I’d share.

Ouch!

The car shop called.  It’s going to cost $611.64 plus tax to replace the water pump, timing belt, and tensioner (Q called the dealership, just to check, and they would have charged $850 for the same thing).  The good news is that it will be done by Wednesday, so I only have to pay for 2 days of car rental.  Woo!

Final Car Update

So, after 2 hours, I drove away in a brand new blue Mazda 3 that only had 1 mile on it. Crazy. They also told me they were very sorry for the wait, and asked what they could do to make it up to me. I asked for a free day, and they said ok! Woo!

Also, I am only going to be 15 mins late for work. Not too shabby.

OMG

So, the Saturn they were supposed to be preparing for me was “unacceptable” by their terms, so they told me I could have a Cadillac or a Hummer. Ha! I chose the Caddy.

i mean…this is just too easy.

Sorry to dissapoint everyone, but they just presented me with a less ostentatious option, a mazda 3, which I took. I honestly couldn’t see myself driving a shiny, plum Cadillac.

OMG

I forgot to mention...

The hot shot manager saw Q and me at the counter, talking to a female representative and said that we were working with the “best,” and that she’d hook us up with the Hummer or Jag we undoubtedly wanted (I guess that’s the impression our work clothes give?). What an ass.

Car trouble

My car overheated yesterday, and that basically ruined all my plans, because Q wasn’t home and rental car places are closed on Sundays. My car has been towed to the shop, and now I am sitting at Enterprise, waiting for them to transfer a car from another office. The only thing they had here was a red Grand Prix, and for some reason, I have a problem driving red cars, so I asked if they could get me something else. Anyway, the tow was $75, and the car is $54/day! I just hope that my car doesn’t end up costing $800 to fix; that would suck.

you can only help people that want to be helped.

its just so hard for me to watch people drown cause they refuse to take my floaties.

Ready for an inappropriate-to-the-situation, sexist remark?

Girl, I’d take those floaties anytime.  ZING!

I know you want to touch my floaties, but i wont let you cause they’re real.  If they were fake i’d let you touch them.  Anywhoo, from what i see, your parasite is blessing you with floaties of your own.

If you’d enable comments, we wouldn’t have to do this in front of everyone. ;) Anyway, thanks for noticing!  I still can’t tell the difference, but I check EVERY SINGLE MORNING. I am SO READY to have to buy new bras (and have been since I was 13 and still waiting for the gift that never came…)
