It has been an interesting week.  I had some really bad luck with cars.  Last weekend, I took my car in because I needed to have my transmission serviced and also my check engine light was on.  I have to go through emissions this month so it was time to get that fixed.  I actually had a problem last year at this time and I took it 2 different places to see what it was - they both said it was the cadalaic (?) converter.  One of the places reset the code for me so that I could pass my emissions then without getting it fixed ($600 it would have cost).  But eventually I would have to fix it before this year's emissions.  I was sure that was why my engine light came back on.  However, the place we took it this time said something different - that the fuel oxygen sensors needed to be replaced.  So $450 later my car was supposed to be all fixed and they were pretty confident that I did not need the converter replaced.  It drove really well for a couple of days and then Wednesday when I started my car after work, I immediately knew that something was wrong.  It was shaking a lot and just didn't feel right.  As I drove, it got worse and my engine light came back on.  I got to a stop light and it was much worse, when I hit the gas pedal my car jerked and then would not accelerate so I rolled through the intersection (was making a left turn, but luckily no cars around me) and was able to pull off the road.  I tried to call Rudy and his phone died.  He was also just getting off work and was waaaay on the other side of town.  At first I could not get ahold of anyone and I was sooooo frustrated!  I finally got my mom, so she came to pick me up but we had to wait for a tow truck.  Basically, I left work at 5 and didn't get home until 8:30.  The next day, I took one of my parent's extra cars to work and when I got off, the CAR WOULDN'T START!!!  I couldn't even believe my luck!!  It was just the battery and I was able to get a jump and made it home much quicker than the night before.  Something or someone was trying to keep me from driving!  I was going to try not to drive all weekend, but that didn't really work out.  I have my car back and it is fixed - turned out to be water leaking and being sucked into the distributor which caused it to malfunction.

This morning I had to get up and go to the dentist to get some fillings.  My face has never been so numb in my life!  I think they gave me way too much!  My eye and my ear on that side were numb!  And I accidently bit the dentist because I couldn't feel anything!!  Oops, haha!  I absolutely hate that numb feeling.  And the drooling all over myself, haha.  I was totally freaking out for awhile.  I came home and tried to sleep it off.  After a few hours it finally started to wear off and I am not completely back to normal, but almost.

That's about it for now.  Rudy and I went to our favorite chinese restaurant for dinner tonight and I am so full I think I will get in my pj's and go to bed.  Tomorrow I will be cleaning and grocery shopping.  My usual Saturday routine.  My friend Stevie and I have been trying to get our big dogs together for a play date so maybe we will get to do that.  I am so glad it has been cloudy and cool - unlike the 90 degrees earlier in the week!  I hope it stays like this for awhile.  I am soooo not ready for the heat!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
