Happy Birthday, Mom!

She would have been 52 years old today. Wow. Can you believe it? Its ridiculous how fast time actually goes when you're not paying attention.

I have to pick up Andrea at the airport at 2PM today, but after that we are going to spend the day together. We may, or may not, make a cake today. We haven't really decided on what we are going to do to "celebrate". Perhaps it will just be a movie. Who knows!

So I got pulled over last night. Second time in two weeks. Reason: My plates. Apparently they aren't registered to me. (!?!?!??!) I've been trying to register my car for MONTHS now but never could. A lot of phone conversations like;

GMAC -"No....Wisconsin residents hold the Title on the car"
Me- " I understand that, but the DMV is saying I can't register because you are withholding the title! "
GMAC - "Ma'am, we don't hold the Title"
Me- " I KNOW! ITS IN MY HAND! "
GMAC - " The DMV is lying to you "
Me - " GAAAAAAH!!! "

After many, many, MANY phone conversations like that, I found out that they just needed a Death Certificate for my Mom.

That's it?

I now have over $400 in tickets over a simple Death Certificate. Luckily, both cops said I could probably fit it in court. So I have my first court date (ever!) on Wednesday.

Grr.


Anyhoodle, I should probably probably get going now. Lots to do today! (I like how I make it sound like I am going to get up, walk away from the computer, and carry on with my day. When in actual reality, I am going to continue to sit here at the computer until my butt goes numb. How ever long that takes.)

Just one of those days

Seriously one of those days.


I was driving to work today on the interstate. I was just minding my business merging over to the far right lane (I am not the speediest of drivers..moving over to the far right lane is a common thing I do) and all of a sudden I hear shattering.

WHAT THE!?

I look over and my right side passenger window is shattered. I don't know how it happened! I freaked out and pulled over to a gas station and called Andrea. She came to help me clean it up and get it to a window place....but seriously. What happened!?!?!?!?!

It just seems that when things are going well for awhile, all must come to a vicious end. I know its the circle of life and we ALL have to go through ups and downs. I get it. But stuff like this I cannot afford. I'm broke. I'm moving soon into an apartment and need to save all my earnings (who says earnings?) and now I have to pay $200 to get my window fixed. What the?

Perhaps this just means some really great days will be approaching!!! =)
