Wren's New Year New Life New Thread

I may have found a good car for a great price. My dad and I are going to see it at 11:30. I need good thought and prayers!

If I have wheels, I have a better chance at finding a decent job. I have been searching for a job and a car for months!

Maybe since I was laughing at the stroke of midnight on NYE, this is the year of good things!

Wish me luck, my friends.

whatever it is it is great - at the end of the day it is these 'mundane' things that end up getting us out of our predicaments - literally and metaphorically -
hope you are driving down the road right now feeling freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Good luck! On New Years, after midnight, I was in a bathroom stall and found $7 on the floor! I took it as this is going to be my lucky year

Love this new post, Wren.

A few weeks ago I got an oil change at Walmart. They cracked the cap that goes above the oil filter and my car almost ran out of oil. Luckily my friend's H was able to fix it with a $14 part. However, I was without a car for 2 days.

I made up a mock invoice on how much parts and labor would've cost had I taken it in to a regular shop, which was about $233. I took my fake invoice into Walmart and complained about their service and told them my story. The store manager came back with a wad of cash. They gave me the $233 without asking any further questions!

Maybe I looked like the frazzled divorced lady and they were afraid to mess with me. Either way, I'm toasting my good fortune to a better 2010!

We are taking charge! This is our year! I can feel it in my bones.

And I got my car and made it to the DMV just in time to get my plates, tags, etc. Today, I will drive my car and take myself to therapy to brag about my accomplishments.

We can DO this. We may have moments of grief, anger, or exhaustion. But we can and we will survive and thrive!

J finally picked up the rest of his belongings and his cats. I miss my furbabies but I feel better that at least this aspect has been settled.

I've seen G this week and we had the " what are we?" conversation. We're friends that enjoy spending time together. We are both running scared and overanalyzing everything. But when we get together, we laugh and laugh.

He asked me out for this evening. and I am going to exhale, let go, and enjoy damnit!
