TODAY WAS A WEIRD DAY!
So I am driving to school, (Not to late, but not exactly with time to spare.) when my car dies.
I start it back up and continue on (babying the HELL out of it and praying to everything) when I notice I have very limited steering capabilities, my battery light is on, and my temp gage is rising faster than a prom dress. Not to mention it's trying to die on me every two seconds. NOT the greatest of circumstances when you are trying to merge on highway 405. 
So . . . I get to the Everett exit and was able to pull over on a side street. I pop my hood and check my fluid level since it had overheated. (No, I did not open the radiator, 
I opened the overflow tank.) This of course proceeds to spew hot radiator fluid all over me. So I procced into the local hardware store to use the phone. (My cell is dead.) My honey informs me that it is probably the serpantine belt, since that would cause my alternator, water pump and power steering pump to stop working. I pop the hood again . . . . sure enough.
So . . . .I wait till my honey gets there, takes me to school,(reeking of radiator fluid) where I am now 40 minutes late.
The teacher was cool.
After my first class I indulged in a grande almond mocha, sushi, and a B complex smoothie to make myself feel better.
Then I took my WS mid-term. I did NOT need to study as hard as I did. I was conflicted on one question, but other than that I ROCK.
Thank goddess for boyfriends and little brothers, because my car was fixed by the time I got out of class (it ended up being a shattered bearing that threw my serpantine belt. For those of you that don't know cars . . . if your serpantine belt ain't runnin, your Ford ain't movin.) and now I am at home enjoying a big pot of spaghetti I made for my brother as thanks.
Now . . . off to study for my anthro mid-term in the morning.
Blow me kisses.

Do'h! I'm going to have to chalk that one up to Wishful Thinking.
