Car trouble

Well, Wednesday was just the beginning of my car trouble. On Thursday, my engine light came on and my radio stopped working on the way to work in the morning. On the way home, my oil light, and my gas light came on, my power steering went out and my car died halfway in the road and half way into the gas station. I was in that position for about five minutes until 3 very nice guys came to push my car safely into the gas station. So, my sister came to sit with me, Gary came to look at my car, and Matthew called AAA to get my car towed. Gary and I tried to go to Auto Zone to get the part to fix my car (a tensioner), but they don't have it since my car is too new. So, we waited in the Sunoco parking lot until the tow truck came. They came and took my car to Gary's house.

I was unable to get the part until today, when Gary called the dealership and fixed for me this morning, he's such a good guy! It is all fixed, and it was only a mere $30!!

Saturday, we threw my Grandma a surprise party. It was a surprise, we love you party. I am glad it is over, I put a lot of work into it. I did photo boards, picture frames of all the children, grand children, great grand children, and poems. It turned out very well. She was very surprised, we made her cry (which was my goal!)

My cousin, JoAnna, the one that lives with her, was supposed to be the lookout, she thought my grandma was home. So, we were all quiet with the lights off, meanwhile, my Aunt Zeny came, so I went to the other room and yelled at her to hurry up, she pulled into my parents house and was fiddling around with the food in her trunk. So, they ran over, and to everyone's surprise, the door never opened. So, JoAnna went out with the dog to investigate. Turns out there is more than one Impala on Grafton Rd. So, finally, Gram arrived. We were all super quiet, JoAnna was in the kitchen. Grandma came in and wondered why the blinds were shut, JoAnna told her that the sun was in her eyes, and she had a headache, Gram was VERY confused. She walked into the kitchen, we all yelled SURPRISE, and she was even MORE confused, so I explained to her the purpose of the party, and she started tearing up.

It was very nice, my cousin Ryan came down, who hadn't been home in a few years, so that was really nice. We had a photographer come and take family pictures and we are going to make a photo album for my grandma so she can have all the pictures.

Sunday, I slept for 16 1/2 hours, it was SO nice. I slept from 12:30am to 5:00pm, I am well rested.

Tomorrow I get to take Shawn to court....again, but he is supposedly in Florida, maybe he will not show up, then we can all visit him in JAIL!!!!!!

Well, that is all for now, I will go back to twiddling my thumbs for another 2 and 1/2 hours until I am done with work!!
