So, here is my question. We can make cars that run on electricity instead of gas. We can make artificial hearts for people! We can do surgery on babies that are not even born! (I was going to add we can put a man on the moon, but that's so cliche' to use). So WHY, my friends, can we not make a tire that does not go flat?
I had 19 theaters to go to this morning for work. It was pouring rain, so I wasn't too excited, but it was going to be a very good morning money-wise. So, I got to the first theater, picked up the tickets, and then as I walked to my car, noticed that my rear tire was totally flat. Like a pancake. Like Kansas. Like a 32AA chest. Like a piece of gum you left in your purse too long. Like a... oh, you get the point. Flat! And did I mention it was pouring rain? Yeah.
I made my way to the closest gas station, and found out that I didn't have fifty cents to air my tire. Yes, I didn't have fifty cents. Do you hear the guy playing the violin? That's for me. I had to call my house and ask someone to bring me fifty cents. (I was only five minutes away, so its not THAT bad!) Of course, since my dad came, it took him almost 15 minutes to get there. In the meantime, I called work to ask if someone could do my bank run this afternoon so I could get my tire fixed. Esther came and picked up the rest of my tickets, as well as my bank bag, and let me trying to figure out how I was going to pay to get my tire fixed when I was missing out on $58 worth of work this morning. Stupid tires.
My plan was to take my car in to Ford to get the tire fixed, as well as the mirror and the transmission, which they were supposed to do today anyway. Well, my mirror won't be in until tomorrow, so screw that. Mom volunteered to go get my tire fixed, so I'm waiting to find out if she will make it home in time for me to do my bank run or not. I kind of hope she doesn't, because I'm really sleepy and don't feel like driving in the rain. Then I hope she does because I could use the money, and need to go to the library to return a book before my late fees outweigh the national debt and they send the Library Police after me.
To make up for all of my whining, here are some painfully cute kitten pictures! While grocery shopping last week, I discovered that the grocery store was having a $1 sale on kitty toys, so I stocked up! Here are the results:
Lily thought this fuzzy thing was pretty cool.
Trinity thought the camera was pretty cool.
These little white mice were a HUGE hit! I got like 5 for a dollar!
Pippin took his off in the corner and growled if anyone tried to come near it.
They had fun pushing them under the door and then reaching under to pull them back. One of the mice managed to end up in the laundry basket, and mom found it at the bottom of the washer after doing a load of laundry. It was so fresh and so clean-clean! I decided that if it could survive a spin cycle in one piece, it may actually have a chance of surviving the kittens!
Finally, I have to show you The Shoes. They are The New Kenneth Cole's. I am in LOVE. LOVE! I am considering selling a kidney to raise the money to buy them. LOVE! Did I mention that I love them?
I love them so much that this is my current desktop:
leave a comment- or a pretty black pair of Kenneth Coles?
