I Might As Well Just Buy A New Car When I Need New Tires...

Why?

Lets just say me putting new tires on my car, whether its all 4...or just 1, somehow ends up in me getting a new car.

My first car needed new tires - alll 4. Okay got that done....not to long afterwards - I get in a car accident and total my car (thankfully it was just the car(s) that got damaged, the other driver and I were fine).

Now the car I have now, had gotten a flat tire. Of course I had to get a new one.

No this one has not been wrecked, instead the engine is going in it. I could just buy a new engine, but have decided that it'd be just as easy to get a new car.

So the new car search is on! Looking for 2007 or later - any suggestions??

(Hopefully, the car has really good tires too...or that the third car is a charm??)

My New Rival...as in Phone - Not Enemy

My phone drama-rama is over!

After having my phone replaced twice, buying a new battery and trying a new charger - it still wouldn't hold a charge for longer than eight hours, which was rather annoying. So last saturday I took it into the Verizion store in C-Ville, and they were just going to replace the phone...yet again. So this time I asked if I could use the upgrade on my grandparents phone and get a new one. They said yes. :)

This made me happy, and I now have a new phone - the Rival.

Oh, and it actually holds a charge!

Flat Tires and Caring Co-Workers

First of all let me explain that I had a tire that was not holding air very well, Daddy had refilled it a couple of times, but it was still getting low. I, however, apparently am not good at watching my knowingly low-aired tires.

While I was getting ready to clock in at work yesterday one of my co-workers said that my car's front driver-side tire was low, I was like, yeah I know, but she said it really flat. I didn't do anything about it, 'cause really what was I going to do then anyways.

The night went on as usual, until about 5 minuets until closing time I get paged over the intercom. So I call up to the person that paged me and my previously mentioned co-worker said that her son happened to stop by and she had sent him out to look at my tire. Well, he insisted that it was no good to drive on any longer than I had been and insisted that he change it. So I went and got my keys, and they went out to start changing my tire, while I finished a few closing duties before leaving. When I got out to my car my co-workers son was in the process of jacking my car up so he could actually get the tire off. Well he eventually got the car up and the tire off and the spare on and I was good to go after of course thanking him about 3 or 4 times.

Turns out I had barley any air in my tire at all after Daddy checked it. I stopped by Wal-Mart to get some Slime (tire sealant), and got the wrong kind - of course that wasn't totally my fault because I told the guy I needed it for my car's tire, and he directed me to one for tube tires...so now Daddy has to go exchange it and fix it in the morning.

At least it'll be fixed, and I can drive my car again! :)

The Phone Issues Continue

Okay...so back in October, my phone started to not hold a charge, so I went and got it resolved...or so I thought.

Since then I have, bought another battery from Verizon, and gotten the phone replaced...again.

Still that did not work, so I took it back in yesterday and they gave me a new charger to try. I told them that my phone would get hot when I charged it, so they said it was probably the charger...I don't think so...

I get home, my phone dies later on that night, I put it on the new charger - first time using it, it does fine charges, I'm good to go. I had charged right before bed, so I put on my "night stand" (I don't have a real night stand, I'm using a blow-up foot stool that came with a chair someone got me...) and went to bed. OBVIOUSLY I didn't use it all night- unless I was using it in my sleep and didn't know it (HIGHLY unlikely).

So what do I wake up to this morning?

Yep. My phone, chirping telling me it's about to die... Oi! This is driving me nuts.

Guess I'll be taking it back in again...

Oh and to top it off...my car charger went ka-put too, but it's not from Verizon.

2010, A New Year, with New Possibilites

It's now officially 2010!

2009 came and went. It was filled with many good moments, and some sad moments. There were some good expriences, some of which I wish would've had a different ending. I made some new friends, while still keeping connection with old ones. It was a difficult year for me, with the loss of my job, and being unemployed for most of the year, and with the loss of my Grandma R., that was a very difficult month. However, God was with me through it all, and thankfully that will never change.

Now it 2010 - a New Year - full of New Opportunities and Possibilities.

I have many goals and ambitions that I would like to see accomplished in 2010.
I'm starting one of those by going back to school for a couple of certificates in Web Desgin...with those I hope to finally find a job in my field.
I also have a goal of completing at least one art project a week, and have a few projects that I am going to try and finally accomplish, and maybe possibly even sell.
One of my more important goals includes cultivating a closer walk with God, and being better prepared for my Sunday School class. I also want to memorize Psalm 139, my prayer group my senior year of college tried to do that...but I only memorized a few verses, and it's come up alot lately, so I decided I'm going to give it another try.

So there are some of my goals...I have others, but I'll have to see how those play out - this year anything is possible and I'm going to try and make this "My Year".

Happy New Year, Welcome to 2010!
