And the good news is...
Ok For all of those of you strolling through from the randomizer or linking from the NaBloPoMo list, I'm doing a question of the day to answer via leaving a comment.
Question du Jour: What kind of car do you drive? Does your car have a name? What is your dream car?
I have a purple saturn sc. I bought it because it is purple and no other real reason :) I have always wanted a vw bug (preferably in purple). Youd think I was a purple freak based on this, but although I do love it, I just think it's a great color for cars. My 4th grade teacher (who I loved) had a Purple Dodge Dart and I thought it was the coolest car ever. (give me some slack, I was 9 or 10) I guess I never got over that purple cars are cool thing. My current car is named Barney.
So the good news is that there is no bad news. It's a shame that it's the best I can do, but it's not bad. My appointment did not go badly yesterday. I didnt get exactly what I was hoping for, but I did get hope and that is a good thing. Im frustrated, but not down or done.
More good news- my car has not been acting up. About a month or so ago it randomly decided to stall on me while I was going about 40 mph. It started right back up again and no issue after. Of course I couldnt get it "fixed" because it was showing no signs of broken. Then about 2 weeks later my service light came on. I looked in the book to see what that meant and it said that if it wasnt blinking I should ignore it for a day or two if it had rained lately or if I just got gas. Now THAT is my kind of advice! Im a huge proponent of the "it'll either get better or it'll get worse" method of deciding what to do about something. If it gets better, Im off the hook, but if it gets worse, then I'll deal with it then. Works for everything from headaches to car trouble. And fortunately it usually just gets better.
So anyway, apparently if it's rained and this light goes on it can be just a wet wire. Or if you got gas and your gas cap isnt on right that'll do it to. Well fortunately I had just gotten gas in the rain so I was happy to ignore this for a while and guess what- the light went out!
I am still waiting for something to go wrong with it though. I feel like it's been testing me or something, seeing if I'm ready. I dont want to project these bad feelings on to it though. Good thing it doesnt have internet access and can read this post. Maybe me being a dumbass and locking myself out of it last week was the bad car thing that Im fretting over and now it's behind me. Yeah that's it...
Ok so the other good news is NaBloPoMo is just about to a close! And I know it sounds weird but Im actually going to miss it. I hope that the randomizer doesnt go away because I love it. Ive tried doing the "next blog" thing on blogger, but I always end up with foreign languages, and that also does get me to all these other great non-blogger blogs. Anyway, in alphabetical order, here are 10 more that Ive marked as worth returning to in the future!

I saw a Purple VW bug at the dealership the other day. I nearly slammed into someone because I was rubbernecking it as I drove by.
I would KILL for a purple bug, LOL.
(I have a bug, I want to paint it purple someday when I can afford it)
I drive a minivan. After swearing I never would (according to my sister). Love it. It holds the kids, their crap AND the animals.
Blue Dodge Grand Caravan. It just screams mom. LOL
Dream car: Volvo Turbo Sedan. Vroom.

I drive a Hyundai Accent. It doesn't have a name, but sometimes I call it the Silver Bean, because it is small and roundy. My dream car is a sleek black Bentley - so classy, ooh la la!
Thanks so much for reading! I am JUST finding this now - technorati - yeah, they're on the ball!
