oog. i want a redo. i want to start Sunday at 3 p.m. again. can we do that?

so, i finally get my butt motivated and head over to mamala and pop’s to do laundry. yes, i have two weeks worth of dirty clothes loaded into the allegedly newly fixed clyde. yes, i say allegedly. because you would think that after paying someone $418.03 to stop your car’s chronic overheating problem, the problem was fixed. you would think that and you would be wrong. yes, yes, you would actually be driving the whole 12 miles to mamala and pop’s to do laundry and your car would, in fact, overheat like crazy. yes, your car would get so hot (even though the windchills in minny are something insane like -20 degrees) that it would stop running. yes, even after you paid $418.03 to get it fixed, it would still do this.

so, i’ve come to the conclusion that smoochie, cutie mechanicboys named Jake might not be the most qualified to work on my car. yes, mechanics should not be judged by smoochableness alone. the next time clyde has to go into the shop i want someone named mac or al to fix him. someone whose hands are so grease stained that boric acid would not get them clean. someone who wears a belt-buckle has some hockey hair and loves ac/dc. i want nudie calendars in the garage! i want greasy, stained workshirts with named tags! that’s who i want fixing my car. maybe he should be missing the tip of a finger or have a gastly scar on his hand. . . something to show his dedication to the profession. that’s who i want monkeying under clyde’s hood. no more cutie smoochie-looking boys named jake. i will have none of that.

yes, i’ve got the up too late playing scrabble, trying to sleep on the floor at my parents with sister #4’s silly kitten she named Brainerd, worked for the first time in a week rambles going on.

i will spare you the gory ordeal of taking the broken and overheating clyde BACK to the mechanicplace. yes, i will spare you the details of calling and nagging and nagging and pestering and demanding my car get fixed after i paid $418.03 on friday. all you need to know is that clyde is back with me and allegedly fixed. we will see about that.

i also think that you should know i have 19 unanswered e-mails in my inbox. one is from nov. 28th. one is from famousauthorguy who e-mailed me back and i just don’t know what to say. in fact i never told you about famousauthorguy e-mailing me the first time. remind me to do that. i think i need to get some shut eye. i gotta go to work tomorrow and go to buca’s for dinner and do a bunch of other stuff i don’t wanna do. someone should really e-mail something to make me smile. because i am a big whiny baby.
