Well, today has been an interesting day so far. I went to the animal shelter around 11:00 and it was closed (as it was yesterday, and there must be something I'm missing because the volunteer hours they said this week would be 9-5, and it was well after 9 and well before 5), so then I went to the Spectrum and bought Serenity on DVD because I was too impatient to see if I'd get it for my birthday and I had the urge to see it. Then I got some ice cream and went to my car to eat it. Oh, and after I was done, the car wouldn't start.

Yeah. I sat there for 30 minutes trying to get it to start and even ended up calling my mom who I hadn't wanted to call because she was at a memorial service for her friend's mother, and she told me she'd come when she could. So I continued to sit there and finally I tried it and I worked, so I let her know and then drove home. Well, guess what happened on the way home? The car stopped. Just like my mom's car did last week when I was driving it. sigh. So I tried to pull over to the right side of the road, but I was right in front of an intersection, so I was pretty much just blocking the right-hand turn lane. Luckily, I was able to get it to start about 10 minutes later (and I was like... less than a mile from home. Like... I don't even know how to describe how close I was. It's like a 2 minute drive, pretty much) and eventually managed to get home.

There was a light going off on the dashboard though when I was driving and I looked it up in the owner's manual and it means engine malfunction. So I guess we're going to have to take it in to get the engine repaired.

So, yeah. That's been my day so far. Why am I having such terrible luck with cars lately?

Well I dont know what kind of animal shelter the one your going to is... but the one I used to volunteer at, they didnt have many people working.. so they had to put like a closed sign up or lock the door while they were walking dogs... cause we dont want animals to get stolen you know I have a feeling that would be bad. but if yours is like that they may have been like out at the vet or walking dogs or something, so maybe it wasnt closed they were just doing something. Unless they are closed for the holiday break and they come in take care of the animals and leave.

OMG, my moms car broke down last week, we're finally getting it back Thursday, cause it cost alot of money.. the thing they thought was wrong led to something else then something else and so on... so basically they re built the inside of our car lol and my mom gets paid thursday so thats when we get our car back. so your not alone with the car trouble.

by the way, I got a new aim screen name which is why we havent talked in a while, so IM me at >> bias on my side thats my new screen name I want to talk to you again so I can bug you about a tutorial HAHA XD <3

I actually went yesterday around 2:30 PM and they were open then. They had said the hours were 9 AM to 5 PM during the week after Christmas and before New Years, but they may have a lot of people going on vacation or something and decided to make the hours less. Because there really weren't many people there when I went, and usually there are a lot more.

Oh, that sucks. :( My mom's car has finally been fixed, so hopefully it won't break down anymore, and mine is getting fixed so it should be all good soon.

I think I actually saw that you posted you had a new screenname, but I was just skimming my flist before going to sleep and I wasn't on AIM, so I was just going to add you the next day but completely forgot. But, anyways, I have you on now. :)
