Yup, pretty sure if I make it through the next 30 hours without getting a $500 ticket or heading to jail, I will be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!! In Maine, once your vehicle registration expires, you have a 30-day grace period, and since mine ran out May 31st, driving around with an expired registration in June didn't really worry me. Now that it's July, I pretty much have a mild stroke every time that I'm on the road. Why don't I just register it, you ask? That would be because my inspection sticker ran out in May too, and The Bird (yes, I STILL have it!) has a cracked windsheild and an ever glowing engine light, therefore it won't pass inspection, and therefore can't be registered. So double whammy for me if I get pulled over...expired inspection sticker and expired registration. Awesome!
And that leads me to the next topic...car shopping!! Oh where oh where do I begin? Let me start by saying that I totally love my Dad...he has my best interest at heart and is a very smart man. HOWEVER, the whole car buying process with him has been, ummm, a little frustrating. I find something, he doesn't like it, he finds something, I don't like it...too much money for what it is, too many miles, buy used, buy brand new, buy an SUV, buy a car...I want a Honda or a Nissan, apparently he's in love with Pontiacs! Yes, that's right, I said Pontiacs! They're good cars, dependable, last forever, reasonably priced...what's that?...you don't like Pontiacs?...oh, that's ok, just buy one anyways. I swear to God, Pontiac has become the dirtiest word in my mind...because I DON'T LIKE PONTIACS!! No offense to anyone that drives a Pontiac, but they're not for me...and Pops just doesn't get that! Good news is that he's at the dealership as we speak and is working out the final details on my new car...if all goes as planned, I'll be picking up my new baby tomorrow night!
I'm doing ok today on the whole can't concentrate at work cause of Kenny thing...feeling a little better than I did on Friday, but that's probably only because I'm stressing about the car situation. My Mom did her best to try and add to my Kennyitis last night when she FINALLY found out about our seats for the NY show. A friend of hers made a major score for us a while back and he let my Mom know that he'd get us tickets for the NY show, they'd be good seats, and he'd pay for them! And as awesome as this is, all this time has gone by and I havne't known where my seats are. I knew they'd be good, but I didn't know how good. So anyways, she found out last night that they 3rd row, so I'm pretty damn excited over here! 3 weeks from tomorrow folks, me and Heidi will be headed on our Kenny vacation...can't freakin' wait!
Not much else going on over here...just trying to recover from my dinner of fried goodness last night. Me, Emily, Miss Cupcake and Allie headed to the Lobster Shack. The Lobster Shack is just that, a shack, located on the beach at Two Lights State Park...you get there, wait an hour in line, reach the window and order your food, wait another half hour for your food to cook, then eat outside on the lovely picnic tables, amid the beach, rocks, and the lighthouses. It really is quite lovely, and Miss Cupcake and I have been wanting to go for a while now. I ate (devoured!!) a whole plate of fried clams, french fries, cole slaw, biscuits, and polished it off with an apple pastry! Yeah, feeling pretty gross today, thankyouverymuch. Although I gained another chin and spent $35 on dinner for me and Emily, it really was quite enjoyable.
That's all for now folks! I'll keep you updated on the new car situation, and I'll need suggestions to name her. I'll post a picture, and you guys will have to help me come up with a name. Send me your positive vibes so that I don't wind up in jail, PLEASE!!

Your a freaking riot, I swear you could win contests w/ your writing skills! That stuff we were just talking about on the phone may have been the kick in the butt that I need to get my crap in order. Kind of like a reality check, letting me know that I can no longer ignore my problems and look the other way until they disappear, cause they don't! They magnify into a huge monster that is even harder to deal w/. I might just end up in a jail cell w/ you. One things for sure though, you can be damn sure I won't have to pay the electric bill! (don't think they'd allow my cats though :) ) Have fun w/ your new car!! I think you should have a farewell ceremony for the bird though!
You forgot to mention how you saved bits of your pastry for later...on the front seat of my car, in your bra, in the wallet you opened the next day, and on your jeans there must have been half the dessert :)
i heart you!!!
