The fiasco comes to an end (I hope)
So after getting my car back, guess what it does again? Yep. So back to the shop it goes. Fortunately, my boss lets me know that the church has a car I can use, so my uber-awesome roommate drives me to Springfield to pick it up. The good side: it's a freakin' Crown Vic, so you know EVERYONE got out of my way while I was driving, thinking I was an unmarked cop car. The bad side: the alignment was so out that I had to hold the steering wheel at 11 o'clock to keep it straight. *sigh*
Finally got my car back, and just in time too: as soon as I get to work, my boss calls again to tell me he just blew his transmission out, so now he needs the church car! So I end up picking him up at his house (and his wife made me dinner, which was awesome) and then taking him back here so he could get it. Kinda cool to talk to him for the almost hour drive about various things. I got a chance to voice some of my concerns and views about things, and that was a good thing. He's a good guy.
So my car seems to be fine now, and somehow, my parents decided to help me out with the payment. When I had called them earlier to talk to them about it, my mom said they'd send me a bit of money. What I didn't expect was for them to pay for the whole thing. That was really, really cool of them. I don't say that a lot, but seriously, that was awesome. I don't have to rely on Ramen after all.
And then Jeremiah came down to visit for a few days, so that's been nice. He got here last night (after blowing a tire out...seriously, what is up with all the car problems?!?!) so we spent the evening chilling out and watching Star Trek. It was awesome. Today we went to the mall, and I got a few pairs of thigh-high stockings in preparation for me and Corrie's next shoot, coming up this weekend. This afternoon me and Jeremiah did a shoot, and it came out really well! So here's one picture from that, with me and my new hair...
Good times! So life seems to be returning to normal faster and better than expected, so that's cool. Tomorrow I'm meeting one of my friends from church for lunch, then heading over to Strangeland to hang out / work on street team stuff for an hour or two...
