insert title here

so new years was a bust.

went to chewie’s aunt;s house in the middle of nowhere.

yet another family function where everyone decided they needed to ask me if we were engaged or tell me we needed to have kids.

if you think we need to be engaged, go talk to the person in charge of the engagement department. cuz its not me.

and frankly as i mentioned before, we are not ready. so enough already!

if one more person mentions something about weddings and babies, i am going to scream.

the party was entirely outdoors.

sounds nice, right?

yeah. except for the fact that it was two degrees.

other than that it was entirely delightful.

ha.

they had a bonfire, which was somehow supposed to help. and a hocky rink and snowmobiles.

if i had known i was going to be spending the entire night outdoors, i would have…um…perhaps dressed appropriately.

my new wool coat and high heeled boots didn’t quite do the trick.

i was very sad i didn’t have my camera. because those of you that are from warmer climates would have died.

there were seriously 50 or 60 people running around outside like it was normal.

i hid in the garage most of the night. it wasn’t heated, but it blocked the wind.

happy new year.

the appetizers i made were the only things that got eaten until they were gone, though. that has to count for something.

yesterday we did our annual new years day brunch. we have the longest standing new years brunch reservations with this restaurant. it’s delicious.

then we drove for 7 years to pick up madaya.

her dad is an idiot.

then we drove to pick up isaiah.

spent most of yesterday in the car.

and it pissed me off because i was sleepy and so was chewie. and he told me he would drive. but he was so damn tired i couldn’t fall asleep because i could tell how heavy his eyelids were.

he’s literally fallen asleep while driving with me before. so of course i was entirely terrified. i made him pull over so we could switch drivers. i was exhausted too, but i am never so exhausted i fall asleep driving.

he was snoring by the time i got back on the road.

it’s frustrating because i get sick of always having to be the one that drives on long car rides. he just gets so damn sleepy all the time.

speaking of cars, found some more out about my damn car and title.

drove to the place i bought the car and sure enough they were closed.

called the leasing agent who’s name was in the window of the building.

the conversation went like this:

"let me guess what you are calling for. you purchased an extended warranty on your vehicle and now you are trying to use that but the guy is nowhere to be found."

"uh, no. but close. my title was never transferred."

"i am not surprised. i have gotten a number of calls from people this guy has screwed over. i have actually been sending people over to his house."

"yeah. great."

"this guy is a crook."

"yeah. great."

then i hung up.

sweet.

i have half a mind to go run my car into a ditch somewhere and leave it so that it’s his problem.

i am still making payments on the car. but to my bank, not to the dealership. he already has his money.

so i have been spending my time on hold with the dmv.

i think the best answer that i have gotten so far is that i have to get a court order for them to give me the title of the car.

that sounds like a lot of fun.

and it sounds like lengthy process. so it likely means my car will be out of comission for a while.

my sister just so happens to have a spare car i could borrow if necessary.

but it’s a stick. and i don’t know how to drive a stick.

so i would have to learn.

we will see.

nice car, though. has like 5,000 miles on it.

i’m hanging out with isaiah and madaya today.

they are playing the wii.

i’m going stir crazy.

sorry for the boring entry. hope you all has a wonderful new years!

I think it’s good that you don’t have pictures, they alone might have made me cold. I don’t fully know how it works there but might you be able to get help from your state legislator to cut through the red tape with the dmv. It might save you the cost of going to court and such.

Ugh I wrote an awesome note and clicked and it disapeared. I will try again. I think it went something like this “Oh mi goodness. I hope your car sale is legit. It reminds me of when Benchana lent some guy money and then wanted me to help her steal his dog so he would pay it back, except that your guy deserves it. Except don’t steal his dog because then you have to feed it. But I would totallygo to his house and like..camp on his porch and everything cuz Im like that. I once went into some shady persons house when I was 14 to yell at a lady because her kids were throwing rocks at my dogs across the electric fence. I didnt think anything of it until my grandma got calls worried about me going into that house. I am such a bad driver. Like absurdly bad. I ususally crawl down the road smoking cigarettes…I hate being in the car. I remember one night I was really tired and the thought ran through my head that it would be a good time to take a nap. I remember the words forming in my brain that “Maybe I should just take a nap” Well I snapped out of it and drove home but I never ever drive tired anymore.

I am a horrible party goer. And outdoors..well I never would have lasted. Really though the most intriqing part of that was your mysterious appitizers. What were they? Delicious oubviously I think not naming them is part of the alure. Now I MUST know about the appitizers. I need these appitizers. Although you gotta appriciate that you have options about the baby engagment thing. Its multiple choice. You get to just pick one. It really bothers me when people act like that..maybe a little more about babies then engagments because there can be other reasons for not having babies and if there are no one wants to be reminded every five minutes that they can’t have one. On the other side of that is my Aunt who loves to ask me if I am pregnant, since you know, Im looking a little pregnant. Shes a charming woman. you’d adore smashing her into a pill of snow. I’d pile it on top and not have to worry about her until spring came <3

Hubby and I have a deal: since I drive 10 hours a week to/from work and he only 50 or so, he drives long trips to my parents house or likewise. Sometimes I’ll drive but I’m a good rider too. And I get so sleepy when I ride. I hate the thought that the crook has screwed you to the point of you having to get a notice to get the title. It’s alot of work for a piece of paper, since you already

consider the car yours. Boo lame car companies!

Mns

you need a trip to Benihanas. i’ll buy AND drive. only it has to be in warmer climate 😉

ick. people should be indoors when it’s this cold. and hit a bunch of people and running would really eff him over

Idiotgirl

TWO degrees? OMG. I wouldn’t have gotten out of the car! That’s just NUTS. I’m bummed about your car situation. This is why God needs to let me win the lottery cause I’d SOOOO buy you a new car 🙂

perfectly.imperfect

Stick shifts are the most fun ever!!! I’m so jealous!!! I can’t believe the car dealer did that to you!!! How incredibly rude! And wasn’t there information that this party would be outside? I know how cold it was NYE! We walked home! LOL! What kind of appetizers did you make? They must have been nummy! I always love those wrapped ones with like spicy filling in them! Happy New Year!

I hate those questions about marriage and kids. It’s like, enough with the pressure already. It’s my life and I’m going to live it as I want. RYN: I scrub with three other docs. Becuase I’m currently a student, I’m able to go in and help. Mr. Big could do this with any of the other students.

I have an idea. Kill someone, take the car and the body to the side of the road somewhere far away adn dump them together. Voila! It’s 2 for 1 🙂

RYN: Ihad to read thqt first sentence a second time…it just didn’t sound like you. I thought it said, “sometimes I think I like you…” Then I realized what i had misread in it. Anyway, I’m sure everything about the car will work out, even if it isn’t likely to suddenly get easy. This is just one of the things that makes up our collective body of life lessons learned.

OMG New Year’s Eve outside?! Where you live??!! WTF??? That’s f**king insane~! Damn sorry to hear about the title…wonder if you can file criminal charges?? Hm. Do they have a consumer lawyer at one of your local TV stations? Just a thought…
