ouch! but nbd, right??

the other car.

on sunday, my boyfriend got my car in an accident.

no one was hurt and no one was cited (it was bf's fault. duh).

after seeing the damage, i was slightly relieved because i pictured it waaay worse than it was.

the bf and i both took yesterday off work and brought the car to a body shop. they estimated $4,800 worth of damage.

UMM. i don't know cars, but i really thought it was going to be under $2k.

weeeell, today we received a call and OF COURSE there is more damage than they thought.

i may end up having to get a new car for under $5k. i didn't love my car, but i didn't hate it!

i want my zoom zoom back.

on the up side, my rental car is a dodge avenger and it's real smoooth.

so much for a mini vaca

show low, arizona

i've really been craving a vacation lately. i just want to get out of this place and relax! i don't have a stressful job, but i just want to go to an island and have some margaritas all day on the beach while reading. since i can't do that, i decided i would drive up to show low to visit my mom for a day or two and at least read the hunger games (i gave in. i'm very intrigued by the world's fascination with it). it is a 3.5 hour drive up through the mountains. i hated the drive. i get there around 3:30 and my mom and i get ready and head to happy hour at the clubhouse. we had drinks, appetizers, and ordered dinner to go. the next morning, we leave for breakfast around 10:30. after we eat, we start shopping and she takes me to a boutique that is owned by family. everything is way too expensive and clearly overpriced just because they can. i refuse to pay $54 for this super cute shirt and i refuse to let my mother buy it either (who had just said 20 minutes ago how she had no money). i literally told her 15 different ways NO i do not want it. i could have let the woman buy it just to make her happy for that second, but i refuse. we finally leave the shop and head to a thrift store. i found a few things to decorate the house with and that cheered me up. after one more stop, we head back to the house because my sister is about to arrive. i'm really not feeling this show low vaca anymore. i wanted to just do nothing in the peace and quiet but i hadn't done that yet. i was dreading the drive back home and knew that if i wanted one completely relaxing day, then i'd have to head back home right then. i packed up my stuff and started my drive. i'm sad that i kind of ruined the afternoon with my mom with my attitude, but she was really driving me nuts over other little things. i got home about 7 last night, and i haven't read once but at least i feel more relaxed. i have a feeling i won't be making another trip up to show low for a while because of the awful drive. i miss seeing my mom more often and wish i had taken advantage of the time she lived just 30 minutes away.
