i am with you on this one! let's open up a shop...
Does it make me a total dork that watching my not-so-magical mini van get towed away (to the shop for repairs) ACTUALLY made me want to cry?
Before you answer that...
It was because I was afraid she thought I was abandoning her...

Haha I wish I could get a tax write off! Your poor van. And yep Frederick's does fittings as do most department stores (Nordstrom, Macy's, probably even Sears and JCPenny's!)

That sucks, but hey.. at least it's a minor problem..
I had a 1984 Cadillac Fleetwood (2-door) which I affectionately refered to as "the beast" and when the beast finally died, I was REALLY bummed! Everyone thought I was insane for putting as much time and money into keeping it running as long as I did, but dammit that was a great car!
So far having this list sitting here right in front of my face is doing little for my motivation.. I just keep ignoring it while babysitting servers and typing away on instant messaging.. Oh well.. It was a nice idea..

It's been an eventful but unproductive couple days...
I successfully ventured down the hill to a friendly gathering of fellow hot rod chicks for Thanksgiving...
Pulling up to the house...was the exact moment my magical flat black minivan decided to NOT be so trustworthy... Nope, the engine shut down, the oil light came on and she called it a day. I had to throw her...

Practical Magic is on my DVD shelf. I love that effing movie.
Well ladies and gentlemen...in true hardworking redneck fashion Moldy and I DID get that motorhome on the road.
We arrived at the lake bed of El Mirage sometime around 5pm or so...only after discovering that apparently I get sea sick in land yachts, but not on the actually SEA.
We couldn't find our friends out there in the dark...and after a brief crisis where I...

Did I mention that I'm the proud partial owner of a 1977 Titan motorhome?
Oooooh yeeeaaaah!
We drove it off the guys lot where it'd been sitting unused for six years, on Wednesday.
We had big plans to drive it out to the dry lake bed of El Mirage Friday...to set up camp and watch the drags all weekend long.
HOWEVER...as you can see, it's...

Now that's a good one!

BTW.. How did it go with the motorhome?
Well...luckily for you sg decided to eat the long spiritual blog entry I'd spent all this time writing...so today, you'll be spared...but...just for the record, you can run, but you can't hide...so prepare yourself...it's coming...oh yes...it's coming...
Instead...I'll bore you with pictures of my weekend excursion down into LA...not partying like the rockstar I once was...but the lessor known character I've now become...

You know, every time SGOC Brunch comes around, I always say I'm going to get the stuffed French toast, or at least something other than the stuffed croissant. Nope! I once got the stuffed French toast because GangstaSwan usually orders it, and I did so in her honor...but for some reason I just end up getting my usual. I'm so boring!
Are you coming to Disneyland with everyone on the 18th?

I pretty much hate all things to do with winter other than how pleasing it is to the eye. Nice to see your having fun again.

How did the weekend go? Feelin better?
r0nin:
DOH!! I hate when that happens! It seems to ONLY happen when I write a real big update.
It seems that changing my perception created the small miracle I needed...at least well enough so that I'm not miserable anymore.
My biggest pet peeve? Is that he doesn't seem to get what my upset is.
For him...the situation we're in is paradise. He's in love with being in love...he's in love with the quiet, solitary life he's built up here. I can't blame him...

If only I could find a woman in Illinois who likes drag racing and whiskey... Life would be sweet! 
papawheelie:
I have to look through his eyes for a minute and say I can't blame the guy one bit for getting all gooey over you... you are totally the "dream prize" for a guy with that kind of lifestyle.
I'm tired of being miserable and I'm looking for a miracle...
I once heard someone say that a miracle was just a change in perception...and if that's true...does that mean I can give up being miserable? Just like that? Just by changing the way I've been looking at things?
Let's see...instead of saying I've lost all my independence...I can say...for the first time in my...

You have that fabulous, glamorous '40s look that I could never accomplish - it's worth it to cut your hair for that look!
As for changing your perception...I say trust your instincts. Consider the positives, consider the negatives, then - trust your instincts. Always.

ooo, drag strip sounds nice... as fir the suffocation part, sounds like you're not ready for the 24/7 relationship and you should not force yourself if you are not feeling it... finish the car, then distance yourself - let it be known you're not into the whole needy partner thing..
do youl ike this guy at all, or are you just hangin in ther for lack of something else?
anyway, remember that for a hot chick like yourself there are many options as far as "dating" so go ahead sample different "relationships" and decide what works best for B]YOU.
well, enough preaching - i think you're awesome, but i know that prob don't mean much to you since you don't really know me in "real life"..

It's 9:21pm....
All I really want is for him to go to fucking sleep...as if he hasn't been dozing on the couch on and off for more than an hour or so...
I miss the days when I could have a conversation on my phone without wondering who's going to hear it....
I miss being able to mix up a bowl of my favorite low-fat...

I think you're right because as much as I'd like to be able to hate him, I just can't... IT SUCKS!! I guess I just need to be grateful for the fact that I was at least able to rebuild a relationship with one of my parents and stop wasting my time with him..
Anyway.. Enough about me... How are you?

Until about a week ago I was as happy as a pig in shit.
I'm living in a real pretty house. Work my own hours. Have an adorable gimpy dog and my own two cats up here. The moon and stars here are beautiful... The sky always clear and the atmosphere relaxed. My friend/roommate/business partner is...

Youre an amazing women! I'm sure that youve removed yourself from far more difficult/complicated situations. Just do what you think/feel is right.
Hotrod/custombuilder, I like that.
