Wednesday

My mom and I had made plans to do some Christmas shopping in Destin on Wednesday. Before leaving town we went to Grease Pro where I got my oil changed, it was due. They had coffee in the waiting room.


Coffee?


I was afraid to drink it, no telling how long it had been there. After the oil change and a full tank of gas we were on our way.

We ate at Hard Rock for lunch, where I attempted the Legendary 10oz. Burger.

Big Burger


I think I put a good dent in it.

The aftermath


Then we went next door to Books-a-Million and quickly spent $120. And that is where our luck ended.

We didn't find anything even worth trying at any other stores, but that's nothing compared to the trip home. I had told my mom a little earlier that I thought my car had been acting funny and she noticed it too...while trying to get up to 65 on the highway, my clutch gave out, we were able to roll across 3 lanes an intersection and another road and park at a gas station. There we waited an hour and a half for a tow truck and my sister to pick us up. The whole time my mom is going "At least it's not a big deal like the transmission," and I'm like "trust me, it's a big deal." And I am proved right with $1300 to pay in repairs. Merry Christmas.
