ready to hit the road.

Last summer I sat around and didn't do anything. I didn't work. I didn't go to school. I didn't travel. I did, however, recover from four long years of working at a stupid agency full of stupid people. This summer I plan on not working. And not going to school. I am, however, going to travel. Tomorrow I go on my super secret surprise escapade. I freaking love alliteration although I suppose 'escapade' is a stretch. I will give you one hint. And that is: IBHOF. But that is just a small part of the trip. I'm almost ready to go. The snacks are all purchased (meat sticks!) and I'll only be gone until Friday or Saturday so I won't have to take many clothes.

Yesterday I spent four and a half hours at the Volkswagen dealership getting a check-up for Jesse's car that I will be driving on my little trip. Unfortunately they broke it so Jesse had to take it back today so they could fix it. Of course they are denying they broke it but really now. When I drove it in to the lot, it worked fine. When I left the lot, it wasn't accelerating like it should. When Jesse called them, they said to give it about 50 miles to break in the new fuel filter and stuff. When he returned it to them this morning after driving more than 50 miles, they said it was broken and would cost another $220 to fix it. This is after the $440 check-up yesterday. Luckily Jesse talked them down and it didn't cost quite as much as they said. But it still pisses me off that they think we will really believe this part just happened to break during the time it was at the dealership but they had nothing to do with it. I might have been born on a Monday but it definitely wasn't yesterday. Assholes.

We see the Tigers play the Orioles tonight. I kind of wish I was there last night to see the drama with Tejada and Bonderman... and Cabrera and Sheffield... and the Orioles bench and the Tigers bench... and the Orioles bullpen and the Tigers bullpen. I giggled when Sheffield hit the 2-run homer and Cabrera just stared him down while he ran the bases. So fun!
