What a day!

I don't think anything else could possibly go wrong today! It is kinda funny! So, this morning I woke up like normal and went to check my email and get breakfast. I wanted to run out today and visit two ladies from my church who are in the hospital, but had to stay home until the flowers my parents had odered for me were delivered. So...I am just tryin to be patient and all, but can't stand being cooped up in the house. I had to use the bathroom real quick around 11:35ish so I went in and did my business, flushed, washed my hands, turned out the light and left...well, I had hardly gone out the door of the bathroom when I hear what sounds like Niagra Falls in my bathroom! I turned around and turned on the light and sure enough my toilet had decided to spill over and was working on forming a mini lake on the floor! Ok, so my parents are out of town and I wasn't quite sure how to fix this particular problem except to plunge the tiolet to death! So, I ran upstairs, grabbed a pair of heeled shoes (I was not stepping in that water bare footed, ick!), and grabbed the plunger. Once back downstairs I couldn't believe the mess! It was so gross! So, I waded through the lake towards the possessed toilet and just started plunging my little heart out. Didn't work. In fact, I think I made the stupid toilet even madder. More water started pouring out! I didn't know what to do so I looked at my watch and decided to call my boyfriends cousin Chris to see if he had an idea of how to stop the evil potty! He had no clue....so I looked at my watch and decided to call my Wonder Boy (my boyfriend, Drew). He was in chapel still when I called Chris and knew he would be out now and hopefully in his room! So, I called Drew and sure nuff he was there! I asked him what to do and after laughing at the funny little predictament I had managed to get myself into he took me step by step through the process of defeating my sinister potty! After cleaning up the mess in time to answer the door and recieve the beautiful bouquet of flowers from my parents, I was finally ready to run into town! Thank the Lord for life's simple pleasures!
Little did I know that the day was only beginning. After visiting the ladies at the hospital, I needed to run by the bank and deposit my paycheck. So, I parked in a parking space and filled out my deposit slip and all and then went to drive to the drive up teller window. I put the key in the ignition and turned and nothing happened. No clicks, no anything. I couldn't believe it. So, thinking that it was just being stubborn and not really wanting to deal with the problem just then went inside to deposit my check. The lady asked me how my day was going. I couldn't lie so I told her it was pretty bad. And briefly shared with her the Potty Problem and now my stupid car problem. NEVER BUY A FORD (just wanted to share that with ya!). So, she told me she had jumper cables in her car and that this guy who worked there could help me. Well, we got everything hooked up and I went to start the car and there was still nothing. The guys (there were now two, and they both knew way more about cars than I will ever know!) told me that there was no way for it to work and that it was really truly dead. So....I called our mechanic who called the towing company, who finally came to my rescue. He cleaned off the battery and told me to start the car. It started! It was fine. All I have to do is replace the erroded cables and all will be fine. So....finally, I could breathe and go home. I was so tired by this time and only wanted to go home and work out. So....I drove home and now I am safe and sound and hope that I never have another day like today! lol!

Well I just want to clarify that the Ford that Jess said never to buy has 213,000 miles on and has never had any major problems. For the battery cable to go bad after 213,000 miles is a testimony to the quality of Ford (at least the Exploror). Just wanted to clarify that.

Oh Jessie! I'm sure it wasn't then, but that's all hilarious! Why didn't you tell me about this? Killer potties and zombie cars... whew....
