Starting your celebration off the wrong way

I had issues attempting to sleep last night and it wasn't the best evenings to start off one's birthday, but a very inauspicious start to the day at midnight doesn't bode well for the rest of the day.

Car issues: well it seems that bringing one's car in on one's birthday is not the wisest of ideas. I thought that perhaps it was a small leak from the valve covers. Turns out a small leak brings forth a sieve of an engine. The intake gasket, the valve cover gasket, some other thing that I can't remember, and the distributor o-ring are all shot. The work and parts are estimated to cost about $700. My mother calls the mechanic to find out if it's worth all the trouble. She gets a report back, once the distibutor o-ring is replaced, the car only has 10K left on it.

Which all sums up to: a. I can't really drive anywhere this weekend, b. I don't have any expendible cash for a while, c. I'm going to need a new car soon. So, it appears as though Kris and I are going to be collaborating on sending a check to some place every month in return of having a new car.

This weekend's mission: a. buy lots of oil to keep engine going, b. don't excessively drive the car, c. look for a new car.

Welcome to Planet Mofo, Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday? Okay, so we got you a card, a physical card, over a month ago and signed it and whatnot and then I said to myself let me put it somewhere so it doesn't get lost. And now, a month later, it's whereever that place was and i can't find it. So just pretend like you got a card from us and you smiled, because the thought was certainly there. ;-)

Yay!!! Thank you Shawnies and Julies for the awesome card. I was so excited to get one, I just love getting cards! How did you find such a cheeky card with naked Neil Gaiman and Alan Rickman drinking beer out of pumpkins and their members covered in chocolate sauce? You guys are the best!!!! Love, me.
