update on the barefoot life

Well I told you all that my car was making a funny sound.. and yeh, well, it busted.. That's right. right as i was driving home from work last week, i was lightly chatting to my mom and the engine made a BAD sound. I didn't totally freak out as the car was still able to go in the forward direction when i pressed the gas. So i continued home. wishing and praying that it would make the 10 mile trip to my house with all the stop lights and such.. It did, but when i pulled in the driveway, that would be the last time you would hear this engine run. It took me a about a week to get my funds together to tow it to the shop. I don't think the car was in their posession for more than 10 seconds before my mechanic was on the phone to me saying it was bad news. You see I threw a rod in the bottom end onf my motor.. So what does that mean?? well it means that the car is dead. Have you ever seen a Subaru Outback that is only worth $200?? Well i got one for you.
So i have become the newest participant in Public Transportation.. It is an experience that's for sure.. Not bad though, Denver has some great routes and it takes me directly to work. I really can't complain, (but i still do)
So this week we are trying to get my boyfriend's old subaru up and runing so i can at least take my dog to his swimming therapy.. Shut up, it helps him, and NO i am not the one that needs therapy for taking my dog there..:) we just need to be getting back there soon.. He needs some major help.

On my favorite topic, Palin Sucked ass on SNL, as predicted.. the only thing she was allowed to say were the two lines that are stated on EVERY SHOW. "live from New York, It's saturday night" and "Have a great day and pleasent tomorrow" after the news. I like that Chevy Chase said she couldn't improv her way out of a paper sac.. but then agian, she wasn't really expected to was she?? I love that Alec Baldwin slammed her right to her face. that was great :)

So, no car, no money in my savings.. i am screwed.. but smiling i guess.. I do still have a roof over my head, thank the lord..

and with no money, i guess it is good that i didn't get my Phish tickets.. I think i am going to wait for them to come to Denver or Vegas.. Vegas is much better than Hampton VA any day... But I did get my Panic new years tickets and we have pretty good seats. They could have been closer, but we will figure that out when we get to the show.. I have to get through halloween first...

Well that's about it today. I have finished the story on Marble and now i am in the exciting story of world finances.. WHOO HOO i know, lucky, lucky me..

have a good night and a pleasent tomorrow..
