New Blog!

I totally abandoned this one, the new blog is http://babyizaak.blogspot.com, stop on by :)

Home Alone

The title refers to my current situation, not the movie. My honey is in San Diego for work this week, dropped him off at the airport before I had to go to work Monday and I'll pick him up after work on Friday. Neither one of us are good about being apart from each other. I should be spending this time wisely, catching up on art projects and such but I feel kind of depressed and just don't really feel creative. I hate that I'm so co-dependent. My 15 year old self would kick my ass.

I ended up getting a new car to replace my other car... which I still had considered "new" since it really was brand new 10 months ago. I had an '09 Nissan Sentra and replaced it with a '10 Nissan Sentra. The new(est) one has more bells and whistles and I had to start over my loan and put down another two grand out-of-pocket. There goes the tax refund that I had intended on using for *practical* things such as more tattoos and a palm tree for the front yard. The car is pretty sweet though and I guess things could've turned out worse.

My best friend from high school just had a baby. Her baby's daddy is now in jail and from what I gather, it seems that her and the offspring will be better off for it. It makes me wonder how people get in that situation, she used to be so self confident and carefree... then I hear her dude beats on her, even when she's pregnant with his child. Really, how does that happen? I have lived so far away and we've fallen out of regular contact so I only heard things were bad through her sister via facebook. How sad. Even if I were close by, I severely doubt I could've made any difference to the situation. I sent her a bunch of baby stuff from Target and wish her the best!

Another irritation: I can't find a McDonald's that has Shamrock Shakes in SC. LAME! I was craving one around lunchtime today when I was working on a project and realized the color I was using is similar to Shamrock shake color. I then realized St Patrick's Day is tomorrow so I figured I could stop by our local Mickey-D's, ask for a small Shamrock shake with my Happy Meal and be on my way. The woman at the drive-thru wasn't familiar with my request. At least my meal came with an R2D2 keychain.

Car SMASH 2010!

My car got smashed up last weekend. Not my fault. It had 9 miles on it when I bought it last May. No major injuries, mostly just a pain trying to get the other person's insurance company to ante up and take care of the problem. I'm in a crappy rental car right now - at least I got the option I suppose - and my car is at the dealership's bodyshop, waiting to be appraised for damages. More on this, with pictures, later.
