Redskins and Murphy's Law

So yesterday started out fantastic! I got license plates for my car and everything was legal. I could drive it all around town with no worries. Katie invited me to watch the Redskins game with her friend Melissa and her. We had spinach dip, pizza, and cupcakes that Katie and I made. It as a good night.





Very fun... until... I hit a curb while trying to figure out which way to go on the highway. As soon as we get to Katie's parents I look at Katie and was like, "did you hear that hissing sound?" she said, "yes I hear it, I think your tire is leaking air." It was indeed leaking air. So, we went to the gas station and filled it up then proceded to drive on the highway. We get about half a mile and I feel the tire is completely flat. So Katie called her boyfriend Tom and we had to drive about 10mph to the closest exit (about 2 miles away.) It was a high stress situation, and I had a spare which was good, but no wrench or car jack. So, after and exchange of not so friendly words with Katie and Tom I decided to leave my car where it was and I had to go there this morning and pick it up... after buying a car jack and wrench. It was hot and gross while changing that tire. Amber was nice enough to take some pictures for me.






I now have two new front tires and "Susie" (my car) is back in business.

Gen you Crack-me-Up! Good going changing that tire..Now you know how to do it! Farrah and I had that experience in the Mall parking lot. The only difference was lifting the tire up, it was heavy and a nice guy helped us!


Love the sweaty pictures!
