I broke his brakes. Part TWO

After thinking about the car situation tonight and talking about it with Tim, the bigger picture appeared.

 Mark and I rarely switch cars, we have no reason to. The way the incident unfolded, is not a coincidence.

 You see, my drive to class is less than 5 mins away and my speed doesn't exceed over 40 mph. Mark had to work today, hence why he was taking my car, to kill two birds with one stone. His commute is roughly 15 minutes and depending on what route he takes, his speed could get up to 70 mph.  I hate to think of what would have happened if he attempted to stop the vehicle at such a high speed, while his brakes were going out.

 Like always, God had a plan.

I broke his brakes.

I broke Mark's car today. The ONE day I drive it and the brakes go out. Why did I have to be driving it today, why? I feel horrible. The worst part? The reason we switched vehicles is so he could take my car to get my tire fixed and my oil changed for me. He was being nice and I ruined it.

Sigh.

Let a little love into your heart...

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope that all people are feeling some love today, whether it be from a significant other, child, animal, or perhaps maybe a bottle of wine.

 Everyone deserves a little love.

Music and Lyrics. They get me every time...

Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I Love You



Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense


Never let your prayin' knees get lazy


And love like crazy

aimless ramblings

Today is Courtney's 23rd birthday! Happy Birthday!

School is going okay, still lacking real ambition. So far I love my classmates, which is always nice.

I have been going to bed early (well earlier) and getting up early. Kinda like it, not complaining.

Made amazing Cheeseburger soup yesterday. Much better leftover, when none of the work is required. Mark was able to eat a couple bowls of it, so it must have been okay..

Hitting my monthly depression associated with raging hormones. Men have it way too easy.

Missing family like crazy. Especially, the nieces and nephews. This is not helping my biological clock either. Tick Tock.

Speaking of family, my mom is still working two jobs. I hate this. She is 55, she should be working less and relaxing more, not the opposite.

Again, with family, I found out my Uncle Michael's Memorial Service is at the end of the month. It is in Illinois, but I think I am going to ride down with my sister, Vince, and nephew Gabe. It will be rough, but I will be able to see my Dad and how he is really dealing with this loss.

Okay, my blogging ambition (what little I had) is now gone for the moment.. Dang.
