So maybe life isn't so good afterall.....

So I just decide to post yesterday about how my life is going well, I'm happy, blah blah blah...I must have upset the happiness gods because on lunch yesterday afternoon I am driving back to the office and I decide to go thru the neighborhood next to my office, la la la looking at houses, stop at a stop sign and bam, my damn axle breaks on my car. To add to my pleasure I forgot to charge my cell phone the night before and it was dead. So out I go in the 100 degree heat mind you, walking in my super cute sandles that so not super comfy to walk around in walking the 2 blocks or so to my office. N O T F U N!!! I get there, call around for tow trucks, cry a little, cuss, ya know the norm, and finally call Gigi to come pick me up and take me back to my car to wait for the tow truck. So things are ok, I get the car home, my dad looks under it and says the axle is broken and it looks as if my A-frame is cracked. So I have had it with this old raggady car, that has 1 windsheild wiper, only 3 windows that go down, and only 2 that actually go back up, the ignition switch is going out so it takes a good 5 mins. to start the car, after a whole lot of wiggling, shaking of the steering wheel and cussing, no AC which is not good in the aforementioned 100 degree St. Louis weather, and needs a exhaust issue fixed that causes it to sound like a race car letting everyone in a 1 mile radius know Crystal is coming down the road!! But I regress, I go up to the local car dealership, tell them my situation, I have no money down, I need a cheap, realiable used car to get me back and forth to school and work. I find a honey of a deal* on a 2000 Buick Century with only 60,000 miles on it. It has 2 windsheild wipers, AC and I fall in love. The guy sells it to me for $5900! Great deal, everything was going well until today, 24 hours after said purchase, I hear the oddly familar "pop", and "jiggling of metal" sound as I had heard in my old car. Surely this can't be, another car with an axle problem, I'm just being parinoid, right?! So I turn down the radio, turn off the nice cool AC, and turn to the left....."pop"!!! Yep something is wrong. I am so freaking pissed right now. I have a 30 day 50/50 warrenty but come on 24 hours later....they better fix this!! I don't have the money to pay even the half of the costs! I'm broke as a joke right now. I'm stretching the budget already with the new car payment, but figured it would be worth it just to have a safe, dependable car, but NOOOOO, my luck is just not that great! Cars HATE me, that has to be it! I have NEVER had any good luck with cars, NEVER!!! Something "crazy" is always happening to me and my cars....stuff that doesn't happen to normal people....steering wheels falling off in my hands, yes this has happened to me seriously, now tires falling off! I can't take much more!!!

So, it's been 5 months since I wrote on this here blog. I guess I forgot about it for a little while. Not really forgot I thought about it sometimes and said man, I need to write something on there, only to forget a short time later. Last night as I was laying in bed trying to get to sleep I kept thinking about this blog for some reason. I can't belive I have been posting on this thing for over 2 years now. I was thinking about how much my life has changed in those two years and how cool it is to read old posts and remember times I had forgotten. When I started this thing I had just turned 26, why does that number look so much better than 28, and why am I so afraid of turning 30? Back then I wasn't too happy with my life, but now things are actually going my way. I have found a wonderful man whom I just adore, we are in the process of buying a house, I'm engaged, and attending college like I planned for so long. I have finished 2 semesters now and am getting closer to my dream of becoming an RN, slowly but I'm not in a rush! I am definately much happier with my life these days.



I noticed one of the last posts was about my best friend Nina's baby Ethan. He is doing so well. He is now 6 months old weighs 13 lbs and is just a cute happy baby! He's a pic....
