One more day!!!

Oh, thank goodness! I only have one more day of work! Today I only had to work 6 hours, too, so that was a nice change. Then this weekend I will be doing bunches of packing. Everything except the bed and my desk shall be packed and dismembered. I want to get a new desk, 'cause this one is a hand-me-down from my sister and is wobbly and doesn't have enough space on it, 'cause I need some place to put my printer, too.

Wes gave me one of his 'Tennessee' shirts when he visited so I could have something to remember him by, and I wore it today, and had 2 people ask me if I was from TN. Tee hee.

Went to the Ford dealership today to redeem my $500 shopping spree, but they were OUT. And they were STILL trying to sell me a car! I don't want a damn car, I want a hood for my car! Okay, I guess I should back up, as I haven't explained any of this.

I get this thingie in the mail the other day. It's a remote entrance clicker for a Ford Explorer. You take the clicker down, try to open the Explorer, if you do, you win it. Well, I don't really want a new Explorer. But they also have these other prizes that you are guaranteed to win by calling in this phone number and putting in a code that is given to you. So I called it and won a $500 shopping spree. I was like, "SWEET! Now I can buy a new hood for my car!" 'Cause I thought it was a shopping spree of Ford stuff, and my hood's dented and chipped from this big hail storm we had last summer.

I go down to the Ford place after work and talk to some of the salesmen down there, inquiring about the shopping spree, asking what you can buy. "Anything and everything," the guy tells me. Sweet, because I want a new hood for my car, I tell him. So he assumes that means I actually need a new car. No, quite the contrary. I just got that car a year ago last weekend. So he's trying to sell me a car.

Ford Guy (FG): Are you making payments on your car now?
Me: Well, my Dad is...but yeah.
FG: Well, I'll get you into a newer, better car for the same payments.
Me: I don't need a new car, I have a new car. It's only a year old and doesn't even have 20,000 miles on it yet. I just want a new hood. I thought the shopping spree was for Ford stuff.
FG: Oh no, it's for this online shopping mall. What kind of hood do you want?
Me: A blue one?

So I go show him my hood, and he tells me I can either buy a new hood or take it in and get it fixed and repainted, but I'm SOL if I want a new hood. For free, that is. Drats.

Wes' mom has invited Wes and I out to Charelston, North Carolina sometime in late September, possibly. I'm excited if I get to go. We'd have to buy a plane ticket for me to get out there, but otherwise, everything else will be paid for. So I thought that was really cool and nice of her. She's a really nice lady.

Also, either today or tomorrow is my parents' 22nd wedding anniversary, so congratulations to them for having never fought in front of us children. I still have never ever seen or heard of a fight between the two of them. They act like they're still madly in love, kisses all the time, it's cute. And sickening. Oh well. I can only hope I have something like that when I'm in my 40s.
