Cars are a PAIN!
My plans for tonight was to come home from work, wait for Ernie to come home, have some quick dinner and head to watch the BCS Championship with friends. Insteeeaaadddd.... I get a call from Ernie about 7:15 (after he should've been home) saying he was stuck at a gas station in midtown waiting on a tow truck for his car. It was over heating and when he checked under the hood there was radiator fluid sprayed everywhere. Boo. So he walked to a nearby resteraunt & grabbed a beer while I jumped in the car and drove carefully in the sleet to get him. The funny thing is that we ended up having a great time. (BTW, hummus at Marlow's Tavern is uh-mazing) I guess in a bad situation all you can to is find a way to laugh. We finally made it home at about 10, just in time to heat up some leftover Brunswick stew, pour a glass of wine, and throw on some sweatpants. I hate that we both are stuck with older cars right now that sometimes give us trouble, but not having a car payment is glorious and where would we get such fabulous stories from? So how did you guys spend your snowy/icey evening? And what are some of your rediculous car stories?

Ha! The first night that Allen and I moved in together, it snowed, and iced, and the power went off. We had no furniture except in the bedroom and now no tv to watch or lights, or heat or radio. We lit candles and played cards and drank some beer that we left out on our back porch to keep cold. We slept in layers of clothes in blankets. It is one of my favorite memories. So fun!!
