Apparently the car wash I got him on Wednesday wasn&#8217;t good enough for his picky ass. I think he must&#8217;ve read my last post about wanting a new car.<\/p>\n<p \/>So I did what I always do in times of car trouble: 1) cry, 2) call AAA, 3) call my dad for advice. The tow-truck driver was awesome. He had a blonde ponytail, days-old stubble, and a dirty baseball cap. He had good repair shop advice, and on the way there he told me his theory about why women can multitask and men cannot. He also yelled &#8216;SHIT!&#8217; about 10 times, for no reason I could determine.<\/p>\n<p \/><a href='http:\/\/www.chocolatemussolini.com\/cm\/images\/waitingrm.jpg' target='there'>waiting for my car<\/a><br \/>Turns out Chico decided to melt his ignition discharge module. If you&#8217;re in the market for one, expect to pay $700, including labor. The repair shop was really great, so I&#8217;m gonna go ahead and recommend you visit Car Care Advanced Service Center if you ever have a dead Saab in the hinterlands. I&#8217;m always impressed when they field my million probing questions and don&#8217;t treat me like a stupid girl.<\/p>\n<p \/>I know what you&#8217;re thinking.

I couldn&#8217;t believe the crashing of the very heavy planter didn&#8217;t wake me up, and I expected to find a mess. Then I saw they had somehow orchestrated it so the tree fell into the padded cat bed. The dirt didn&#8217;t spill or anything.<\/p>\n<p \/>I should rent them out for stunts.<\/p>\n<p \/><a href='http:\/\/www.chocolatemussolini.com\/cm\/images\/shoes.jpg' target='there'>walkin&#8217; shoes, r.i.p.<\/a><br \/>My walking shoes finally died. I estimate I got close to 1,000 miles out of them, what with the training and the 3day itself. It&#8217;s sad to see them go.<\/p>\n<p \/>We attended the 3day expo this morning, and it was so great to be back in that environment. I remember going to the first orientation and thinking all the excitement was cheesy and cringe-worthy, but having been involved, I&#8217;m totally won-over. This is a life-changing event, and I can&#8217;t say enough good things about how well it&#8217;s organized. I&#8217;m excited to be on the crew side of it (twice!) this year, but watching our 2004 video made me want to walk again. Next year!<\/p>\n<p \/>Team Plinko would like to organize some sort of fundraising event, and it would be awesome to have other 3day walkers\/crew involved. Wendy, I&#8217;m talking to you, girl.<\/p>\n<p \/>OK, I have to rush now because I&#8217;m going to see the Kings of Leon tonight at the Fine Line, which seems to have recovered well from its burning-down.
