(I think it's laughing at me.) I don't know if everyone has heard, but our car finally won the war. We have been fighting it for months and months. Constant battle. I was benched quite awhile ago, unable to withstand the physical and mental damage caused by going up against this 2000 Oldsmobile Alero. Justin was bravely hanging in there for the both of us, but alas, it wore him down until the will to continue fighting wained under the pressure. We can no longer...go on this way.
Are we defeated? Yes! Are we beat? Yes! Are we bloody, pulpy versions of our former glorious selves? Yes, I cry, yes!
So, we had a dilemma today. Payday was yesterday, and we had no way to deposit the necessary money into our bank account. Bills are calling. Public transportation isn't anyone's first choice to get around but, desperate times! We have a bus stop very near our apartment, so we headed out this afternoon. So...you think maybe you can ride the bus? Let me just advise against it in Cedar City, especially if you get motion sick like I do. Here is why:
Cedar City is spread out.
Cedar City is bumpy.
Cedar City is boring.
Cedar City bus drivers are maniacs.
On our ride through spread-out Cedar City, we visited areas that we have never even heard of. We rode that bus for an hour, and that was including getting off earlier than our stop. Combine a long ride, with the bumpiness of Cedar City, and the bus driver driving very aggressively, and you have the perfect witch's brew for a motion sickness carnival in my stomach. ugh. I don't really need to elaborate on Cedar City being boring, right? I guess this is my very long-winded way of saying that I will never ride the Cedar City bus again. Our car is going down at Bradshaw Chevrolet on Monday. We will take no prisoners.

God speed, sister. God speed.
Does your car qualify for the cash for clunkers? As much I hate that program, I think you should take advantage of it if it is available.
Isn't "Cash For Clunkers" bankrupt? Isn't it asking for a bailout?
Why in the world did music start playing when I came to this page?
Nic, I told you I had another idea for adding music to the page! There's a player on the bottom that I added. Fun, huh?
Yeah, it's fun ... unless you have a gigantic sound system on your computer and are TOTALLY not expecting it! I about wet my pants. See, this is why I don't use MySpace...
It's too bad their bus system sucks. I ride the bus everyday to and from work. And most days it is fine. Most days. Except for the constant time changes. But the drivers here are maniacs as well. I hope you win the fight!
I'm sure that's the reason you don't use myspace, Nic.
