REJECTED!

So, with all of my family abandoning me to exotic parts of the world like Kentucky and Houston, I have been really valuing blogs so I can hear from everyone. With this new appreciation, I think I may start blogging again, so here's the first in several months.

Yesterday was the most bipolar day I've had in a while. It started out bad because I had to get up early and take my car to the shop to fix the defroster and the emergency flashers. You see, the registration on my car had expired in November, so I had to get it inspected again. I was worried that the brakes were going to be the problem because they'd been squeaking, but surprisingly they were ok. However, when the car guy came back, he handed me a stack of official looking papers, the topmost labeled with a huge REJECTED on the bottom. Truly, it was unfathomably large. It's almost enough to set your self-esteem back a few years. And not only do you have to stare that huge REJECTED in the face, you have to sign it to say that you didn't miss the 12-foot letters at the bottom of the page. As if a person could possibly miss those if they tried! I was surprised I didn't have to take it home to show my parents. Really, I've enclosed pictures so you can see that I'm not exaggerating...at all. :)

Anyway, I dropped my car off, went to work where we ended up having waffles for breakfast, took part in a movie, had a pizza party for lunch and went bowling. :) Yeah, work should be like that everyday. I was feeling pretty good about things, despite the REJECTED looming in the back of my brain. I decided to call the shop to see if they'd figured out an estimate yet.
BAD IDEA.
Part #1 - $190
Part #2 - $60
Labor - greater than or equal to $200

Well, so much for my good day. haha. But after taking my Spanish final, I drowned my sorrows in the lights at Temple Square.
GOOD IDEA.
Merry Christmas to all!!!!
