fixn' what's flat

so, last night i pulled off the turnpike onto route 18 after a fun night of processing donuts at krispy kreme when. . . all of a sudden i heard metal smacking off my car . . . what the crap!?

i started to see tire fragments and my car pulling to the left -- i was about 5 miles from home -- so -- being bull-headed that i am -- i kept going knowing i may screw up the rim -- but i did it anyway.

so, i get home - pull on the off street since it was stree sweeping - and saw my back tire on the passenger's side was flatter than a pancake!

so - i thought i'll do it tomorrow - or i would bug the geneva guys living next to me to change it -- but i then realized i needed to be at work early cuz a youth group was going. so, i decided to try it myself -- after all -- i've changed one tire before i can do it again! and i was also thinkn' i always have aflac if i get hurt!!! - cue the duck!!

i must say. . . it was easier than i had thought -- i was so cool! - i figured out how to use the crappy jack - was able to break the lug nuts loose and pull the tire off. my only problem was not being able to see to put the donut on -- after a few failed attempts. . . i decided to wait until morning.

i left my car jacked up -- like anyone would steal it with fake christmas trees inside and no tire on the back! i woke up early - went out and bam! - put the donut on with such ease!! - i feel like a woman now!!! - i'm not a dumb girl who needs guys to take care of me -- i can do all things - why cause my Jesus helps me!!

my joy was then flatened by the trak to work -- why is it that daily my forward motion is impeeded by large trucks, slow moving cars, and just plain stupid drivers!? -- i hate route 18!

and the rest of the story later!
