staredown

April 25, 2008

I visited my brothers’ house last night, and even though it is a total bachelor pad, complete with ping-pong table set up where the dining room table should be, there are two things there that could keep me amused forever: Bentley, the puppy, and Hampton, the hamster. Both are just way too adorable!

Bubba’s On His Way Out

April 22, 2008

I posted yesterday about my ignition problems with my car before leaving for work. Then I went to my car to leave, and my key wouldn’t turn at all. Short story: my wonderful fiance picked me up and took me to work, I had my car towed to the shop, took the bus home, and my car needs a part replaced and won’t be ready until Wednesday or Thursday.

Scored a free Sirius satellite radio. David’s brother’s girlfriend wasn’t using hers and the subscription is paid for lifetime! Decided it’s probably best if I get a new car once I start working. My ignition nearly broke, and it’s at the point where it’s not really smart to put a lot of money into it. Things like this keep happening, so I guess I’ll just bite the bullet and get a new little fuel efficient car. Returned home and was reunited with Cleo. I celebrated by taking her to see her friends Eddie and Sydney at David’s house. She also got a cow hoof to take home, which my roommate isn’t too pleased about because it smells pretty bad. Didn’t…
