Damn motorized vehicles!
Thanks for all of the ideas and support for my car, so now I am going to explain a little about my town.
Okeehchobee is a very small town (but we're getting there!!) The biggest place we have to shop is Walmart. We don't have public transport since we don't have the population for it. Walking and biking isn't really out of the question for me since it never gets cold (god I love Florida!) but I live probably about 2 Miles from work and there are no sidewalks. There aren't any sidewalks until you get into city limits. People here drive like maniacs. They see a 30 speed limit, they think that means "hey, let's go as fast as we can and try not to get pulled over!" There are so many bikers and such that get hit by crazy old people it's not funny. Then as far as taxi's go, I couldn't get around. The company only operates when it wants to and charges crazy fares.
I did get my fuel pump today for less than 200, and the guys are trying to put it in now. Even though they are more looking at it like it is a part off of a damn gundam or space age robot("what the hell do I do with this piece??"). So over the weekend I got a little stir crazy without a car and found a 63 Ford Fairlane that I might buy. it's only 1500 because it needs work, but I need a new hobby. And if it means I have a cool ride in the end, I will definately take the time to do this stuff. There is also a Nova that a friend told me about that I am going to look at this afternoon. If you knew me personally, you would know that the Nova is my dream car. If I had to, I would live in that damn thing if I could just buy it. This one is in much better condition than the Fairlane is, so I might go for that one. I have dreams of hot rods running through my head right now ::drools::
I hope everyone had a good weekend! Mine could have been a lot better, but I got a lot of cleaning done so there is room to move in the bedroom. I am in the process of going through my old DVDs and CDs and giving things away. I want to do everything in my Marilyn and Broadway stuff, but I doubt Blas would be ok with that. So I need to get my own private computer room if we ever find a place of our own so I can have my little library/office/dolled up room. I guess we can barter. There is a house we are looking at and he wants to paint clouds and stars on the bedroom celing, so I'll barter that with the computer room. I want to hang all of my posters, lol. I am such a broadway drama nerd!
I feel so fab today, so I am off to be my happy self and clean the shop up the best I can! Squirt (Sito) isn't feeling too well today, so hopefully he won't get sick all over the place and give me more to clean, lol.
And thanks for my button, Reno. It's so cute XD.

Hugs,
V.
