The other day I had further proof that my car is on its very last leg. Remember how I had blogged about how thrilled I was that my right tail light started working out of the blue after a year of being broken? Well, on Saturday night I found out that my left head light was out. It made sense because I had always thought about how dark it seemed at night despite having my headlights on. I just never bothered to check so I never confirmed that one of my headlights was out. Then again, I usually don’t drive by myself at night and when I do, it’s usually just to and from school. We live relatively close to Wichita State<\/font><\/a> so night driving hasn’t been too much of an issue. Last Saturday I needed to get gas so Brian and I decided to take my car to Neighbors. After poker, we all decided to convoy to IHOP. Corey led the way, followed by Dill and Becca and then Brian and I. Corey was apparently lost. We didn’t know this until Dill and Corey started playing leap frog. Tired of the show, Brian finally pulls up to see what is going on. This took Dill by surprise because he didn’t realize we were in the car behind him. He thought it was some other random vehicle because it only had one headlight. News to me. I absolutely had no idea. So like the whole time at IHOP I was thinking about having only one headlight and how long I had survived not knowing this was the case. After IHOP Corey, Dill and Becca went to Sharky’s to try to get in the game. They were almost 30 minutes late because it was alright 12:30 am by the time we left the restaurant. Not sure if they ever got in. Brian and I decided to head on home. We went to stop at a Quiktrip for gas. While there, Brian decided to check out my headlight problem. He shuts the headlights off, taps on the part of the hood where the left headlight is, and then turns the headlights back on. Lo and behold, it starts working again! My poor fall-apart little car. It makes me think that this is foreshadowing for when I am older and my body parts start falling apart. Like when I start going senile and forget things. Oh, just tap her on the forehead a couple of times. That ought to jog her memory. My dilapidated car is kind of symbolic of the rest of the things going on in my life. I think the more stressed I am, the more my car acts up and starts falling apart. It must be a reaction to my stress levels. Anyway, speaking of depressing things. Sarah gave me a pair of jeans today. She said she could no longer wear them because they are too short. While that in itself is nice. It’s always nice to get free clothes. The fact that these jeans were a size 6 and they fit me perfectly totally depresses me. I mean, you’re talking to a girl who can’t let go of her tattered size 0 jeans from Abercrombie & Fitch no matter how many holes they develop because they are size 0! By golly, I’m going to squeeze my fat behind in those things until they fall apart!<\/font><\/a> P.S. In case you haven’t noticed, Brian is going to start blogging with me. I want this blog to be more like Brett and Hiromi’s<\/font><\/a> (minus all the panty pics, of course) and Goose and Gander<\/font><\/a> where we’re both blogging as a couple and the commentary isn’t just one sided. Brian’s posts will be distinguished by a subtle gray box container. Anyway, I thought I’d give you all a heads up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
