Update: My car hates me.

First, I'd like to say sorry that I've been kind of MIA for the past couple of weeks. It's been a long and somewhat strange week....I had my first trip to Disneyland, which was fun, but a little exhausting. I mean, think about it: 4 days, 7 hour car ride there and back, hotel room shared with two kids, keeping up with said kids in a very crowded theme park...it was a little stressful, to be honest. But, like I said, it was a fun trip. I was very happy to get back to the house on Wednesday evening. Unfortunately, I treated the vacation like a vacation. I ate lots of bad things and a lot of it. I'm not proud and I've had a hard time suppressing my inner-fatty and getting back on track. That girl is really hard to make shut up when you let her out for too long....So, really it's best to just not let her out at all. My mistake.

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to find an affordable ticket online to the Giants' home opener and I had a great time watching my boys in person. But, what started out as a great day (I mean, I even found a free parking spot...) unfortunately took a turn for the worse as I was leaving the city. Just before the entrance to the Bay Bridge, my car (Fiona) starts smoking from under the hood...so, I pull to the side of the road and wait for AAA to come tow me back home. I had to wait for about an hour and then I'm informed by the driver that we have to go pick up another car and drop it off somewhere on the way to Benicia. What should have taken about 45 min to an hour took about 3 hours. Buh. So, my Friday night plans were ruined and now it looks like the rest of my weekend plans will be altered or canceled, as well. Definitely not the way I saw my last weekend of this Spring break going...

Some good news I've received, however, is that my parents, and possibly my sister, will be visiting at the end of May for a few days!!! I'm so excited and can hardly wait to see them! I'm starting to get to a point now where I am missing everyone, especially my family. I am still loving everything here, but I'm just feeling down lately because of the issues with Fiona and other things. BUT I will buck up and continue looking on the bright side of things! No boo boo kitty faces here, just me pushing through and not getting down.

So, there's my update. Nothing too exciting, just life. A few first world problems, but in general, I'm doing well.
