Lemons

You know that old adage, when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade?  Well, I don't want any lemonade! I want life to be fair, but life isn't fair and never will be.

After work yesterday, I had an errand to run. After I went to the Super Target, I was driving home on the freeway. I looked up in the rear view mirror and saw smoke.  I looked down at my gauge and my car was overheating.  I called Eric and pulled off into a parking lot to let it cool off. Luckily, it was only 100 degrees yesterday and overcast, so it wasn't super hot. Hey, it could have been 118!  I sat in the car and waited for it to cool off. After about a half an hour, I tried to start it up to make it home and it wouldn't start. It was just too hot. So, I called my best friend and she came to my rescue and picked me up and took me home. After work, Eric and a buddy of his went to get the car. Long story short, my radiator is cracked and needs to be replaced. This summer has been a rough one for my car. We have had to deal with no AC all summer and now this. Sucks!  But hey, it could be much worse! I just wish that I could get a new car, but we can't afford that right now! 


I went to the Indio Super Target to get some back to school deals.  I got some really good deals!
