I just got back from Houston, visiting family, actually I went up there to meet my father, from New Orleans, to get my kids. I visited my cousins in Houston and my uncle, who is back from Africa and bought me some artifacts. I hate Houston--it's big and hot and spread out. My cousins kept telling me: right down the street and right down the street would be like a 15 or 20 minute drive. When I lived in Memphis it took me twenty minutes to communte from the suburbs to the city! After a full day of down the streets I was smelling like a man, hot as it was.
So I'm back from Houston as of Sunday but today, this morning infact, I am headed to Austin for 4 days. I'll be training for my new part-time job.
But since I've been back from New Orleans a lot has happened. The day I got back, and I should have known this was going to happen, my car started acting up. Everytime I rent a car my car gets jealous, I guess, and starts acting up. Well, before I left for out of town my husband asked me to put a little oil in the car. Well, I went out and bought some but when I got home I realized that we already had a half of quart so I put that in instead. He came in and out the entire quart that I had bought, and I watched him without telling him I put a half a quart in there(I forgot). The next day the car is smoking, oil is spilling. I took it to the oil change place because it was due and they told me that there was too much oil in the car ( I knew that). They changed the oil, got the level right and sent me on my way. SO I went out of town and came back, turned in my rental, turned the ignition of my car on--nothing. I had the battery checked and it was perfect, the alternator...nothing wrong there. Nobody knew what was wrong with the stupid car. It did have 137,000 miles on it, and the dealer said if the tires had any skin on them at all he would take it...so I traded it in...for a new car....and boy does it feel nice.
Now I guess my computer missed me as well because It started tripping when I got back home and all of my work was on there and if something happened to my work I would cry, cry, cry, so I had the work backed up and traded that puppy in for a new one as well.
That's all for now. Oh, I can't spell check this for some reason so bear with me...I am the worst speller.
