alliancesjrI was doing so well, too.
I had hoped to keep up my recent streak of being on-time with these, but I had a bit of a car emergency yesterday. It's still in the shop, actually; the mechanics don't know what's wrong with it. This is not a good sign, both for the mechanics and for my wallet. I only wish I could have taken it to my regular guys, but it was too much of a hike for the tow truck and this was his favored garage.
John says I may need a new alternator and/or a starter. Neither of these is cheap.
On a completely unrelated note , on to the next question!
Your first kiss, in great detail
(How's this for a non-sequitor segue?)
Due to my status as a social pariah, this did not happen until halfway through high school. My best friend at the time was this short, spunky redhead, and one day she took me up to just outside the unattended wrestling room. I honestly don't remember how the conversation had begun, but that started a bit of a short-lived relationship which ended heatedly early the next school year. I didn't see her again for another six years, but we reinstated our friendship as if it had never ended. To this day, she remains a good friend who I unfortunately do not get to see as often as I'd like, but she's very busy and I don't pressure her.
(She's actually getting married sometime soon. I know she wants to keep it small, so if I don't get an invite, I'll just send a card.)
