Car Killer

oh man!! the past 24 hours have been rough!!!

to start out, my '85 Toyota Cressida has basically been on its last wheel for the past few months... so last night im leaving work, and my car basically dies! the RPMs aren't even at .5 knowing something was up i left my car at work and had Carli come pick me up!

Verne was nice enough to let me take his old van to work.. but it stalled each time id stop at a light, and finally when i was right at the intersection across the street from work it stalled and wouldn't restart!!! i sat at the light for 15 minutes trying to start the car. no one offered me any help, and no one made sure i was okay, on top of that Verne wasn't picking up.. needless to say the tears started after i saw 2 green lights come and go..

finally i decided i was going to call my manager and tell her my situation, she came to my rescue and sent 4 guys that i work with over to push me to safety.. words cannot express the gratitude i felt at that moment of seeing them come to the rescue

the funny part of the event was that Ryan, one of our car hoppers, handed me his soda to hold while he pushed the van, that has no cup holders, so im trying to steer and hold a Big Gulp simoltaniously!! when we got across the intersection i had to pull into the dealership lot. i can not believe i didn't hit something! the guys gave me one good push and i barely made it in!!



the verdict: my car has a broken head gasget, so its done for.... and the van will survive with some gas and a battery charge!!

not the best of mornings, but defanetly one of the more exciting ones!!

killing 2 cars within an 18 hour period should go on the record book!!

now i have to go car shopping this weekend!!

take a look at my new car!!!

Time goes by


I often reflect on things that have happened in my life, and i realized that no matter how much time has gone by i think of myself the same.. my circumstances and challenges have changed, but i'm still the same person i was a long time ago.

I am so excited for the future and hopeful for the goals i want to accomplish within the next few years: marriage, graduation & credentialing, and hopefully starting a family of my own!




although i have not yet found that special someone for sure yet, i know it'll happen, after all, i'm only 20!
