I smacked the shit...

...out of my dinner last night. What a great stress reliever! I was beating my steak with a meat tenderizer and it was going really well, until I hit the plate by mistake. I broke the edge off and sliced my finger open in the process. It's cut open on the top of my finger where my index finger bends.
Do you have any idea how irritating this is? Everytime I bend my finger I open it up again! So sore.
Oh woah is me!

Is it possible to still be recovering from the weekend? I am exhausted and with the week I have in store for myself, I am suffering. It's only Tuesday. Why is it that when you need weeks to fly by they wont.
Unfair.
I'm having a real bitch session and whinge session. I'm a complainer today. There's no real reason. I just feel like it....because I can.
I know it's really annoying to read, but tough shit. I feel like throwing a tantrum.

The man and I are trying to clear out the garage. It puts me in a mood...hmmm...maybe this has got something to do with why I'm bitching today. I can't handle seeing spiders, feeling their spider webs cling to my fingers and sneezing every 30 seconds from the dust. I can't believe how quickly our garage became so messy. It started off as: "Oh shit, we have some people coming around in 10 minutes. We need to put all these magazines and general mess somewhere....the garage...Go, go, go!!!"
It was so easy to do that, that we are now sitting with a garage full of stuff we need, but don't have place for. Ok, we don't really need stuff, but the truth is we're hoarders. Dangerous combination.
We have both decided to get big black bags and be ruthless. Admittedly, we totally suck at this, but we're getting there.
Slowly.

Wow...aren't you glad you read this post? Probably the most enlightening, positive and interesting post all day! Dude!

Oh what a night!

Well, what a birthday indeed! I've had a problem with my car for some time now. I'm just in denial and out of pocket to even think about getting a new one, as necessary as it is.

My indicator stick that has my on/off light switch attached has come loose. The indicator works but the headlights do not. My car was scheduled to go into the shop this morning.

Last night I'm driving home in that horrific storm when my windscreen wipers stopped working. There they were stuck midway on my windscreen.

All the electrics in my car packed up. I was stranded on the side of the road and called my dad to come follow me home. He arrived and off we went really, really slowly. There 2 cars in between my dad and I. I went around a corner and waited and waited for my dad to follow. Nothing.

I call him and I get voicemail. Ok, this is weird.

10 minutes later, stuck in the emergency lane, my dad calls me: "I just had a car accident. I was so busy watching you, I didn't see the car in front of me stop so I went into the back of her."

Luckily, there is no damage on either of the cars. Sometimes bumper-to-bumper traffic can be a blessing. Kind of.

We eventually arrived at the restaurant at 8pm and had an awesome time, BUT I have never come across such BAD SERVICE. It's just getting worse! We got our dinner at 11pm. 11PM!!!

It was a great evening though. I got a free bottle of wine and a discount as an apology. It just proves that it's the people who can make or break a night!

Today, I finally got my car fixed but that just scratches one of the twenty problems off the list.

Oh and my best? As I drive out of the service area, I drive straight into a hailstorm. Hail the size of small pebbles came crashing down and chipped my windscreen, so now my list is back to square one.

I'm sitting eating grapes now, that are slightly warm from the car, browsing through car websites...lovely huh? *Sigh*
