Great post, Julie. Sorry about your car. Hope the bill isn't too high. Also hope you and your energy are reunited soon! ;)

Susan said...

Urgh that sucks about your car. Although I empathize with that pit in the stomach feeling that comes when your oat bowl is empty. It's indescribable.


PS - YAY for the OC reunion. you must check it out.
PPS - I am so glad you are diggin the tune-age!

Therese said...

Open mouth...insert foot. Holy hell girl that is horrible about the professor! I have been known to flap my mouth a little too openly and definitely gotten into sticky situations like that before. I once called me boss lame in an email and accidently sent it to HIM.....

Shrimpies! Get in mah belly!

Katie said...

ICKY! Sorry about the car troubles :-( When I was at school and driving every day, most of the problems were my fault: left the lights on so the battery ran out, forgot to have the oil changed, waited too long to go to the car wash... but glad you worked everything out!

AHHH that kind of foot-in-mouth is totally something I would do. I should be a lot more discrete about things...

Hope your day is full of yays!

Nay: brain-dead tired.
Yay: Sleeping in on Saturday! Halle-freaking-lujah.

Mari said...

The same thing happened to my car last summer and it was the worst feeling ever. I was stranded on the highway =(

Janetha said...

you know i love me some yays and nays! well, more so the yays than the nays. sorry again about your car.. blah. at least it is the weeeeekend. love you!

MelindaRD said...

Ugh, that sucks about the car. Ryan's car (which is more than the legal age to drink in the US) is overheating too, so we hope it can be fixed. He has what is known as an island bomb around here. We could only ship one car, so mine was shipped, and he bought a junker here. It rocks cause it's so old! I am just glad you made it home safe and sound.

elise said...

Jenny said...

ewww, car troubles are icky! though you still manage to look so gorgie despite your redic morning.

Mom on the Run said...

I am so sorry about your crazy week. I would have been in tears on the highway. You can find a positive in anything. That is why I love reading your post.

bummer about the car! my "malfunction" light came on today and i'm paranoid something like that will happen!

Joanne said...

Isn't it sad when bathroom breaks become the highlight of your day? An all too common experience in my life. On thursday I studied 8 hours straight for a Friday exam. bathroom breaks became KEY.

I'm so sorry about the car! that sucks. Cars suck. Two-year-old tow truckers suck even worse.

But it's saturday so all is good right?

Amy said...

Yay: This blog post made me laugh.
Nay: I'm taking economics right now too :-( boo.

Emily said...

ugggh, sorry about the car! i hate car troubles more than anything.

so glad your prof was cool with the bathroom incident. and it was super brave of you to go up to her after class and apologize, too.

my yay: the weather is nice again
nay: spring break is over tomorrow!

insideiamdancing said...

should have read this post first...got they Optimum Whey link :)

Yays of today: gym, amaaaaazing snack (will post tomorrow AM), coupons for free Starbucks

Nays of today: running out of tofu, salad dressing and vegetables, and discovering that the raisins in my TJ's pumpkin granola have gone stale. Not a huge deal since I can now go back to Bear Naked granola but I almost chipped my tooth. Rawr.

insideiamdancing said...

another NAY...optimum sample pack is sold out. Girl- how many did you order?! LOL.
