However, upon reflection..violence isn't always the answer...If my prior plan does not work out I will bring them over here to discuss telecom bills and spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are the bomb! Hahahaha. Not. The boredom alone will kill them! That's how I roll, in case you forgot! People are animals! I am seriously on the brink of losing respect for all humanity. (and a back-up plan never hurts!)
When we arrived at the shop, the first quote was $995. I told 'Mike' if that were the case I would steal one myself. (I'm sure there are instructions somewhere out there...the Google can do amazing things!). Luckily, he found one for $285.50. Still, the last thing I wanted to do was buy something for my car. I wanted to buy something for myself. I may just need to sell my kidney on Craigslist....unless any of you are interested. It is slightly used of course, but I am willing to consider all reasonable offers...
For the record, I have spent so much money at that shop they are naming the renovated lobby after me. How do you think they paid for the amenities they offer. I am the only person in possession of a super-expensive, 16 year old used car as well and a perfect example of why women should not car shop with other women... I did speak with the leasing office and they generously offered a garage spot for the price of courtyard parking. So the 4-runner is safe and sound in spot number 36..and I have an old-school garage door opener. I feel so lucky!! Although I would feel more lucky if I were sporting that new Coach bag on my left shoulder. Again, people are jerks!! And this ordeal has been quite 'exhaust'ing. hahahhaa. Couldn't resist.
Also, my "things happen in threes" theory is right on point. The first break-in resulted in the loss of a bag of clothing for Goodwill. The second, my spare change and a pen, and lastly this...That's the big ticket item. OUCH!
I managed to get over it and move on...I was much calmer after a Slurpee. They can do that to a person. Yum, delicious and triple yum! Thanks as always, 7-11. I couldn't do it without you.
"Mama, I really could use my own Slurpee...where is it???"
I did cook this evening. It was my mission. I needed a positive focus and I will not be cooking tomorrow evening. My sisters have graciously volunteered to take me out to dinner. After all, it's my 21st birthday celebration and one needs to celebrate in style. I am sure the city will never, ever be the same!
"You gonna take me, Mama...I want to go. Can I do a keg stand???"
She's outta control! But, yet, what can you do with a teenager...and for the record..I never did one of those. Well...maybe this one time back in 2001...long enough ago so it's as though it never happened! Hahahahahha. Just kidding. I have no balance so it is impossible!
Anyway, I did cook this evening. Spinach and chicken cannelloni with lemon cream sauce and cantaloupe. This is the first fruit I have consumed since mid-July, unless you count Hawaiian Punch...which I do not.
Here are the crespelle...AKA crepes...
Fortunately I had some left over to make berry crepes. They're sort of tricky. I typically need to make 4-5 disasters before a few turn out.
Here is the chicken, spinach, onion, parmesan and garlic filling.
Shredded chicken, garlic, onions, spinach and cheese!
I prepared a lemon cream sauce. You can't really ever go wrong with cream...or cheese for that matter!
Here was dinner...Yay for food!!
I continue to sit here at my computer listening to Good Charlotte. And throw in a little New Found Glory..YAY. I tried. I really, really tried to find another song, but I'm hooked!
"That's OK, Mama. I still love you!"
Isn't she just the sweetest pea, EVER!?!?!?!?! I'll be back, with a vengence on Wednesday, much to your chagrin. Hahahahha. Just kidding..but again, I'm good at that. That's how I roll!
