Muphy's Law says...

If anything can go wrong it will. He must have been talking about my car. Yesterday, I was taking Deanna to church, and my car decided that it didn't want to go to church with us. We were driving along, minding our own business, when my temp. guage started dramatically increasing. Right about the same time, I saw steam coming out of my vents. I decide pulling over might be a good idea. Okay, maybe panicked was a better word. I felt the hood, and it wasn't hot, so I opened the hood and nothing appeared to be wrong underneath my hood. So I went back and turned on my car... more steam. So I looked under hood again. No steam. I got back in the car and looked at Deanna. "Do you see the steam?" I asked.

We established that both of us saw steam. I thought, I'll turn on the heat, that should cool the engine down. Um, no... Steam billowed from the vents and fogged up my windows, and I was so glad I wasn't still driving. I waited for the car to cool down and drove the half mile to her church, half expecting the radiator to blow, but if i was going to be stranded, I'd rather it be at a place I was trying to get to, then in a place here I didn't want to be.

I called Dad, thinking he could help. My sister's car was going crazy too. The lights weren't working. Well, they WERE working; they were flashing on an off like a Christmas tree, and she couldnt' stop it. So she couldnt' drive that home in the dark; and she worked late, so my parents had to take their car up for her and take the van home (THIS is what happens when you buy a Ford; nothing works).

So I went to church with Deanna, which was cool, except for the fact that I promised my friends I'd see them at my own church. They probably all thought I was sleeping in. That was one thing I did not do. But I will sleep in tonight.

My Dad was busy yesterday taking my Mom to the laundromat - they had my sister's van at this point and had to be home before dark. So they couldnt' look at my car. So I walked to school this morning and braved the four lane highway.

Hope my car gets fixed soon. If it doesn't, I'll have to dust off my broom and use that, although its getting a tad bit chilly for broom travel...
