"She prayed too hard"

Admire my dream car, the Dodge Charger.

So, after my car once again stopped starting, my mom decided it was time to take it back to the dealership. Because it wouldn't start, she called my cousin, Frankie, who said he would take it up to Sour Lake for us. Mom and Katie (my 7 yr old cousin) said they prayed for it but, alas, nothing was happening. Then, around ten, my grandma came and prayed for the car...she turned the key...and the thing started. My mom, beyond elated, jumped in the car and drove off to Sour Lake while calling Frankie to cancel the tow. After talking with the mechanics who needed it to repeat it's lousy starting habit, we agreed to leave the car there until they can see it happen.

Now, as a reminder. My car has not consistently started for over a month. It starts about 1/3 of the time. We brought the car in on Friday last week. Today is Tuesday. It has started EVERY time they try it. Every. Stinking. Time. I asked Mom about this and her response: "I guess Mawmaw prayed too hard." lol. This is just a small picture of what my life is like on a daily basis.

In other news, I'm recovering from a nasty sunburn. It's in the peeling phase and driving me crazy. I'm also still searching for a job. The other day the phone rang and I eagerly picked it up. Here's what followed:

Me: Hello?

Caller: Hi Christy?

Me: (Thinking: O my gosh, it's a school! Job offer! Woohoo) Yes, this is Christy

Caller: Christy, this is Linda.

Me: (Thinking: Linda? Mom's friend? Or a job offer? Sounds nothing like Linda...) Oh, hi, how are you?

Caller: I'm good. I've been trying to get ahold of Matt all day, is he home?

Me: (Thinking: Oh that Linda! My mother-in-law) Yeah, he's here....

See? Every caller could be a potential employer, and yet everytime, it's my mom, or matt's mom, or my grandma. It's driving me CRAZY! All of you college students griping about going back to school...THANK GOD you're still in school. This is the worse economic time to graduate. lol. Other than that, though...I'm good. I'm going to shower and scrape off dead skin.
