More Meanderings

So its Saturday morning and I am just chilling drinking my coffee before I start cleaning my house and finishing laundry. You see, there is nothing else I can do today because my car is broken!

Thursday night I work at the library and Casey has class so since my clinical is temporarily over we have been car pooling. This means that we have also been stopping for a few drinks afterward. Thursday night is 1/2 price margaritas at Pedros and they have karaoke! This week we also had an ice storm, maybe we should have went straight home.

On our way home I was driving carefully because the streets were slick and I didn't want to get in an accident. We live out in the sticks and there are some major curves in order to get to the house. I guess I underestimated the roads because I got to one of the curves and lost control of the car. I was still going around the curve but the car was also sliding to the other lane. I overcompensated and the next thing I knew I was turned completely around and sliding into the ditch. Once there I was stuck and Casey and I had to walk about 1 1/2 miles to the house on those slick ass roads. I only slipped once, Casey was not so lucky.
I called the tow truck yesterday and when he pulled me out we discovered that I had broke a few things on the tire. I got the car towed to the garage and found out it will cost me a little less than $500. Thank god this is tax season!

So now I am home because Casey has to "work" at the Fishing Expo and I do not have a car to get anywhere unless I take him there and pick him up. I do not want to do this so I am going to use my afternoon alone (the kids are here but they are cleaning too, little do they know) to clean my house. After all I am having a Tupperware party here in a few weeks and there is no way that anyone is seeing my home in its current condition.

(P.S. No one was hurt when we went in the ditch, just the car, so no worries)
