I know many people have done this, but today was my first time and I am very proud of myself! Our car had passed the number of miles that were on the windshield sticker (yes very technical I know) so we needed to take it in for an oil change and a couple other things. Now I have taken the car to a shop before, but Jared had done everything. All I had to do was drive it in, give them the keys, then pick it up again. Jared took care of everything else. But this time, I did everything. I called the place this morning, set up an appointment, told them what needed to be done (I tried to be as technical as I could, i think I pulled off my facsade of knowing what I was talking about!) take the car in, answer the like 10 calls I got from them asking if they could do all these different things, pay for it, and pick it up! I know its probably not as big of a deal as I think it is, but give me a break here, its my first adventure into the "big grown up car world" without Jared! Although I must be honest here, I did cheat once. One of the times they called me I had no clue what they were talking about or why they wanted to do some stuff, so I tried to call Jared, but he was working and couldnt answer, so I asked some of the wives, and they didnt really know, so I made the best decision I could. Later Jared called me back & then called the service people to find out what was going on. But it turns out, my decision wasnt that bad! Yay!! So thats my little car story for the day. I feel so grown up taking car of my own car and talking about it! =>
My friend Danae was nice enough to come with me to drop my car off. The shop is just right on the corner from my apartment, probably a 10 minute walk, so I figured I could just drop off my car then walk home while its being worked on.
Yay we did it! I dropped off my car & explained things!! Woot Woot!!!
We dropped off my car at 10:30am, and I got a call at 2:30 saying my car was finished (mind you they said it was only going to be there until 12:30). The other wives were swimming at the pool so I embarked on the journey to pick up my car on my own! But don't worry, I came equipt with a popsicle!! =>
There is my precious little car, all fixed and ready to be driven!! =>
I made it through the car ordeal alive and
kickin!!
Yay!!! (can you tell I am a little excited?)
Yay for fixed cars and adventures!!
