So I was on my way to WSU this morning to lay blankets out for the fireworks tonight...yeah totally hit a massive pot hole and it flattened my tire...so I called Triple A and as I sat there I thought...why I am calling them I know how to change a tire, and I am women enough to do it so I figured I would attempt while I waited. So I got out the spare which was greasy all around the underneath part of the rim so within 10 seconds I was already a greasy monkey... already manly huh :)
Then I grabed the jack and when to jack up the car and remembered that you have to loosen the bolts before putting the car up...so I pulled out the "bolt loosener" and put it over the bolt and pushed....and pushed....ummm and pushed...yeah I did not have enough manly strength to loosen these things. By this time the guy called me and was like..ummm where are you at? I said I am at 4600 and Harrison on the North East side in a Silver Passat....he responds...ummm I am sitting in the middle of the intersection and I don't see you..I turn around to look at the intersection and I think..huh? no he isn't. Then I look up...Yeah Pauline you are at 5600 and harrison NOT 4600 and Harrison...yeah total blonde moment considering I have lived off of 5600 for like 3 years now! So he came to my rescue and change my tire.
Well, then I think...what and interesting morning...time to head to Weber State...I turn my key....and I turn my key again...yeah my car was dead. I kind of laughed to myself. Luckily AAA policy is that they don't leave until the customer has left...and luckily they also jump cars!!! :) so he pulled out his batter pack thing and jump my car...
I can honestly say that AAA was a blessing to be on this earth :) I did make it to the gigantic quilt of blankets to put ours down and home with no further problems :)

Pauline? Really, could it be you? Remember me, your room-mate? I just found your blog and am so happy that I found you! I have often wondered what happened to everyone and have missed you all, and guess what, evidently we live pretty darn close! Crazy, I know. At any rate, I am glad to see you are doing well, and that you have two wonderful cats (I have always loved cats!) I am not going to be a blog stalker, just so you know, but I will comment lots and lots. Geeze, girl, I miss you!
