It's Like That Lockhorns Comic I Saw Not That Long Ago

It was the two Lockhorns with their car getting it fixed and one of them comments, "If we buy any more car parts, we'll technically have a new car!"  That's how I'm feeling about our car lately.  Granted we've had it for years and years since the car's year is 2003.  That would make it nine years old, give or take a few years.  I don't understand cars, nor do I want to really.  Except I sort of do because then I could fix my car myself, except I don't want to have to fix my own car.  Nor do I own a car, but none of that matters.  The point is that our car broke down.  Again.  Fortunately we still have our little red dwarf car, as I call it.

Here's the story, we were on our way to our grandparent's house (under the river and over the woods to grandmother's house we go, just kidding) and our car broke down.  Something about transmission fluid exploding all over the car so that would explain why the car didn't want to go anymore.  Of course we called a tow truck and what not, but we're sitting there on the side of the road sweating to death in our car.  Fortunately I brought my DS to pass the time and distract myself from feeling gross.  My mom is thinking of possible people she could call to get us to our grandparent's house for lunch like we promised (well, of course we called our grandparents and begged them to please, pleASE, PLEASE, not put the pasta in to boil yet, lol).  She got the idea to call an old friend of hers from highschool (or something like that) who lived in the area and who had room for four people (my older sister, my brother, me and herself) in their car (and weren't busy that day).  So she said yes she could come and rescue us.  What I didn't know was that they brought two cars with them because their son and daughter wanted to meet us (which was pretty cool).  Her husband also came along (well, someone had to drive the second car lol).

So we all (except my father who had to stay with the car to get it towed) went to my grandparent's house and everyone ate spaghetti.  My mom's friend stayed late enough to drink coffee before she and her family left.  But in the time they were there, I doodled some pretty dresses which at some point in time I'll show my blog fanatics.  I showed my doodles off to my mom's friend's daughter (whoa, if she's going to pop up in the story anymore I need to give her a blog name) and anyone else interested in my dress drawings.  I really should show you my drawings sometime.  I'll take pictures of them for the future.

Maybe after I finish with my nail blog posts, I'll start blogging my dresses for you all to see.  I promise you'll like at least one of them (except if you're a guy, you might not be interested).  But the bottom line of this post is that our car isn't working and I met some cool new people.  And we ate spaghetti lol.  And ice cream.  But that was later on after people left.  When we got home we watched the next new Doctor Who episode.  I still laugh when I think of the line, "Dinosaurs...On a space ship!"

Well today, I'm going to be busy at my Youth Group's kickoff and since I'm part of the Youth Ministry Team my job is to make people feel welcome.  I just hope people will show up.
