So, I was just combing through some of my old blogs, re-reading and trying to get back onto what I intended the blog to be, when I noticed that I never explained what happened to my car. I had my Buick until around June. Then, as we were pulling into the driveway after a visit to a friends’ house, the brake pedal hits the floor. I figure, no problem, I will get the brakes fixed. We get the car to the shop, and a day later, the shop calls and tells me that they can’t fix my car. Apparently, the driver's side rear axle bracket had disintegrated and caused the axle to fall, breaking the brake lines. I figure, just put another bracket on, right? Not so easy, as the frame that the bracket is fastened to is rusted through. Thus, the guy said it was unfixable. A week later, after managing to get the vehicle back home, I said good bye to my “Blue Bullet” and sold her for $350. I had $900 in the bank, and with that $350, I figured I would buy a beater cheap to drive. Then, Hubby’s truck went wonky. Considering Hubby was the “breadwinner” and looking for work, I decided I would use some of what I had left to fix Hubby’s truck. Little did I know that the repairs would cost $960. All said and done, Hubby wound up getting a job shortly thereafter and fixing his truck was the best option. I still miss my Buick, though, and hopefully will be able to get the funds together for a vehicle soon. So, that is the story of my vehicle’s demise. Well, a little add-on…When they went to strap the car down onto the flatbed, the other side’s bracket gave in and the entire rear end dropped. Hubby says to me, “Well, looks like we sold that just in time.”
I cried.
Like a baby.
I mean it, I bawled my ever-loving eyes out.
My obsession has started to wane. I think this is because reality is setting in that this guy would take one look at me and probably run the other way. I mean, my picture is great, but it’s just of my face. I have to face it; I am not the “norm.” Not to mention, this week has been a total bust for the diet. Between parties, leftovers, and just overall being broke I have had little options left for me. I weighed myself when at my parents’ over the weekend and I have gone from 333 to 331lbs. It’s still a loss, but I was a little disheartened. On a brighter note, I have started each day anew, telling myself that “today, I will stick with it…” So far, I have done well today.
I am now on my summer session for school. I have to go part-time, because BVR doesn’t pay for summer classes. So, I use the summer sessions to catch up on what I failed in the other sessions. Right now, I am retaking my “Advanced Life Drawing for Animation” class. It’s only week one, but I am doing well, despite the fact I had the internet go all wonky on me yesterday, when I had an assignment due. It got better right around 1am-ish, so I was able to make the deadline. I like this teacher. The last time I took this class, I told the teacher I had a hard time finding models. The teacher did nothing. This time, when I mentioned it, she gave me a link to an AWESOME website for art poses. (www.posemaniacs.com) Thanks to her, I am having an easier time and can focus more on the drawing and less on “How in Hell… AM I GONNA DRAW SOMEONE WHEN I HAVE NO MODEL!!!?” Yeah. I used mostly Caps. It was intentional. Deal with it; it is because I freak out.
Pimpin’ my blog….I have noticed that I have reached over 1000 hits! YEAY!
