Cars...
So sometimes I think cars are more trouble than they're worth...this morning while driving in to work my radio kept cutting out. I just thought it was the radio signal until all my gauges dropped to zero! Then I started to get worried...for those of you who don't know what my drive into work is like...about the time this started happening I was in the sticks with no cell signal...so I kept driving hoping I would make it in to town (Clayton) without anything bad happening. Well I made it in to town and thought maybe I could make it to work...but no such luck. About 3 miles from work I stopped at a light in a left hand turn lane and about 30 seconds later the engine quit. So I called AAA for a tow...meanwhile I was trying to wave traffic around me. I figured it was probably the alternator...and after running a diagnostic on the charging system they found out that was exactly the problem...so an alternator, battery and an arm and leg later I got my car back just in time to go home. What an exhausting day!! That is definitely enough car trouble for me for a LONG while!

Was this your Civic? I swear, you have the worst luck with cars, period!
Yep the little civic. It's actually done fairly well considering it has 110,000 miles on it and is only 4 years old :) With that amount of mileage things are unfortunately bound to happend.
Yeah! Anne has a blog! I'm excited to see you at Trishas shower, thanks so much for opening up your moms home again!
Sorry about your car issues, you really don't have good luck.
I agree with Trisha you have the worst luck with cars...I am glad you were able to make it to town though.
