Update

Well, guess what? Still waiting to get my car back. It was supposed to be Friday, then it was supposed to be today, now it will be late tomorrow or early Thursday. I have had it up to my ears with this thing.

In other news, my great uncle passed away last week, so I had to go to Campbellsville and then Elizabethtown for family stuff and the funeral service over the weekend.

I also got an iPhone on Saturday. (Yay.) And, possibly most important of all, a release date for Stevie Nicks' new album was announced. It's available for pre-order, and I got a free download of one of the new songs for pre-ordering. I have listened to it over a dozen times since Thursday, and I even created a ringtone from the song. I am so pumped. In fact, things over the past several days really seemed to be going my way until the news about another delay on my car, so I guess I should just suck it up and stop complaining. But I'm pretty sure the Earth would actually stop revolving if I were to be completely happy for more than a day. Something had to ruin my mood for the good of the rest of the human race. I suppose that's a sacrifice I can make.

Oh! And remember when I got runner-up on the D-Listed CAPTION THIS contest twice in one week some time back? Well, for yesterday's contest I was the mutha effin' winner. See the brilliance here.

Well, still waiting to get my car back after my accident. I've been in a rental since December 20th. I am feeling slightly less frustrated with my situation today than I have been. I mentioned the change in our pay schedules in an earlier blog. Today was the first paycheck out of this new schedule. This particular check was actually larger than usual, but due to the changeover, this pay was for 12 days instead of 10, so that was why. Checks that follow will be for less. But I can't complain. $100 extra bucks on my first check this month, and no car payment to come out of my January pay. I'm using this extra money to pay down some money I charged on my second credit card. Also, I only have a little over three months left on my lease at my current apartment, and I plan on moving somewhere with lower rent, so I can't wait for that.

A little less than two months left until the Lady Gaga concert. I have that to look forward to, at least.
