Trip Home

So... I decided to go home this weekend right? Fun stuff, got to see my puppy, spent hours washing/vacuuming/cleaning my car, made curtains and matching pillows for my living room, ate lunch with daddy one day, hung out with the fam, watched the superbowl... had an all around good time. Decided I'd just come back this morning since yesterday I was busy with the curtains and the game and such and I don't have class till 11:30. No biggie, get up this mornin (0630), and it's rainin. booo. load up all my stuff, and I'm on the road. An hour along it stops raining and gets sunny (yay!) so I'm cruising along and I'm makin good time, listenin to the radio, gonna be in lex in time and not be late to class, and ummmm... why is my battery light on? And my check engine light? and my engine heat all the way on HOT??? EEP! So I call my mom and pull over and sure enough, there's steam coming from my hood. Good News: I'm not on fire. Bad News: I'm not goin ANYWHERE in this car. Soooooo I'm a lil' frazzled by this point. Not gonna make it to class, noone is answering their phone, and I'm stranded. :( yuck. weeeeellll to make a long story short... Jenny saved the day, called me back and came and got me, and Vernon continued the saving the day trend by coming to lex getting the car towed and taken care of and heading home again (that's a lot of driving!!) and I made it to class, an hour late (it's a 2 1/2 hour class) and very frazzled. So what have I done since I got out of class and meeting at 5? DESTRESSED and WINDED DOWN!!! I am now sitting at my computer with a glass of wine, which is where I've been for probably the last hour, and before that I hung up my new curtains. I'm thinking now I'm gonna put sheets on my bed, put my clean clothes away, and ponder on doing some homework. really, all I want to do is lay down.... it's been a long day since 10:30.... and that wasn't even four hours into my day, and I still have TBS at 9 ...
