The fuses blow out one by one, hoorah, hoorah!

My car is either sick, or it's revolting agaist me for refusing to feed it premium fuel anymore, or take it through a weekly car wash.

Lastnight, Brandon and I drove my car out to St. Louis Park to play some pick-up hockey. When we got back, I tried to put the windows up, and they didn't budge. Through his laughter, he managed to call me a gimp, and reached up to close the sunroof. Nothing.

I, ofcourse, freaked out because my windows wouldn't go up. I wasted no time in calling Richard, despite the fact that it was 11 pm, and Brandon was already digging in the fuse panel, assessing the problem. I sat there while my windshield wipers wiped, lights flashed, radio blinked, horn honked, trunk went *CLUNK* as it popped open, all without me touching a single thing.

Finally, the windows just went up on their own.

About a month ago, my radio lights just stopped working. Richard replaced the radio and we called it good.

A week ago, my cigarette lighter decided to stop working. Now I have to charge my cell phone at work, or even the tanning salon while I bask, just so I can keep up my texting habits and it doesn't die on me in the middle of the day.

2 nights ago, my dash lights turned off for like 5 minutes. I restarted my car, and they were fine again.

I'm going to start taking bets on what goes out next!

Current (and Not So Current) Events

So, I haven't blogged in awhile cause I stayed in Lakeville all last week to watch my Aunt's house/psycho cat, and I couldn't get my computer to connect to the wireless connection there! 1 whole week without internet access, except for work I guess.

I decided to go up to Stone Lake, WI on the 4th of July to spend some time with the family. It occured to me that it was probably going to be the last time the entire family was together before I leave for college in August...

I convinced Brandon to accompany me up North, partly so I didn't have to drive :) He needed to make an appearance with the family anyways. For those of you who don't know who Brandon is--he's my boyfriend of just under 2 years, and still going strong. :) The weather turned out to be BEAUTIFUL, and we swam the day away, stopping only to eat or reposition the pontoon on the lake. I, surprisingly, got a bit of a burn on my arms. Correction, my ARM. Yeah, only the right arm burned, not the left. Whatever that means...

I lost my favorite sunglasses in the lake!! I did a sommersault underwater, forgetting I had them on, and *BLOOP*, gone. I would have dove after them, but trying to open your eyes in a murky lake when you have contacts does NOT feel very good. I replaced my lost sunglasses with a new pair when Brandon and I decided to go shopping on Saturday at the Rosedale Mall.

I spent my entire weekend in St. Paul with him, so there's not much to report for that. Just shopping, hockey, and movies.

There is much more that happened between my last blog and this new post...but I can't remember! I'll update later.

Windshield Woes...Part 2

He came back--my knight in shining armor! He was back for a very brief 10 minutes. I moved my car for him, and he proceeded to remove my windshield. I got the phone call 5 minutes later.

Him: "I hate to inform you, but I don't have the moldings or seals for your windshield for another 45 minutes."

Me: "That's okay, I don't plan on going to lunch for awhile yet."

Him: "Well that's convenient, then! I am going to go do a few other jobs in the area. I'll be back in about 2 hours to complete the job."

Wait, what? What happened to 45 minutes?

So my poor baby is sitting in the parking lot, still sporting a cracked windshield, and some bright blue tape.

I had big plans for lunch today. BIG PLANS. I had a hot date with an Italian on regular bread at Potbelly's.

Windshield Woes...

My winshield is cracked, perfectly at eye level. This is annoying.

The glass company came out this morning, right on schedule, only to discover that he had the wrong piece of glass for my car. He had glass to fit a Saturn SL1. I drive a Saturn LS1. Thats like Ford creating a Focus and a Fokus. It's a fine line, you see...

So I have to wait until Thursday morning to get my windshield replaced..

UNLESS

It doesn't rain today.

Last time I checked, it was super humid outside, and there was a nice, dark cloud cover.
