Way Too Much Crap Has Happened Today For Me To Want To Fist You In The Ass

Okay, so I have really REALLY wanted to blog about what we did this weekend, but I haven't been able to edit the photos (I forgive you honey, I know you just wanted to be helpful) and I don't feel I could do the awesomeness that was this weekend justice without them. This will mostly be a quick little blurb about the shitiness that was Tuesday... Well I guess in the end it wasn't too shitty. You'll read what I mean.

Yesterday afternoon, about a quarter after four I get a call from Collin. He proceeds to tell me how the engine of the Nissan is spraying oil from a hole (pretty fan-FUCKING-tastic, right?). I asked him if he could make it home, he said yea. So then, being the person that I am, my mind starts running the gambit on all of our options. There's no way in hell we can afford to get it fixed (my money is on it having finally blown the head gasket), so obviously it's time to get rid of Ethel. What are we gonna do for another car until we get Ethel sold and can find a way to get another car? I know the obvious answer, and I didn't care for it much: Going to his parents to help us get a car (I know they would but I don't like having to get help from others, especially not them given everything they have already done for us)... Then my mind starts digging for alternatives... *ding ding ding* We have a winner! Joshua, the only person in this world I know that owns a car but has no license to drive it!! (As much crap as I gave him for not having a license I thank god that he doesn't yet.) I call him up and explain my dilemma, and being the amazingly awesome sibling that he is, he says we can use his car until we figure something out (it is after all just sitting at my dad's with expired tags, they expired June 13 of this year), we just have to insure it and put tags on it. So we take the Nissan off our insurance and then put his car on (it's a 1991 Ford Tempo w00t!) and then take off to my dad's to pick up the car. It had been sitting for about three to four months so I planned on having to jump it, but it started up without having to do so. We said goodbye to my dad, Jenn and Jordan (who says that next time I come over I have to bring him a candy bar), and drove our somewhat relieved but completely exhausted asses home. We ordered pizza for dinner (awesome idea honey, there was no way in hell I was gonna cook!) and then I went about seeing how I can get the tags renewed for his car without needing him there. Well, in Oregon, you can now renew the registration online for up to 75 days after they expire. As I mentioned before, I was exhausted so I tried to do the math in my head and I somehow came up with it being 77 days since the tags expired. "Well shit!" I thought... I redid the math this morning after having rested my poor brain, and realized that TODAY was day 75!! So I called my little brother and got the renewal access code from him (he had the renewal form), and went online and renewed the tags, paid with my visa and now they will be mailed today to my dad's house. Now I just need to call him and let him know to mail me the tags as soon as they get there. I will prolly have them by Friday or Saturday. So yeah, it's been fun, now I am going to eat my lunch. And, I promise, tonight I will get the pics up from this weekend.
