Help Me, Honda

"And could you stop at the bank too?" I asked Hot Guy, feeling only slightly guilty. 

"Really? All I'm going to do is run around in the car all day!" he replied, exasperated. 

My car is in the shop. I think they need to rebuild it or something. Since we can't get a new car and the one thing I forgot to research when originally looking for a minivan was how well they last, I shouldn't be surprised. But 2 days without my own car is starting to get on everyone's nerves, let me tell you.

Bit of advice: Do not buy a Kia unless you want a cheap, safe car that you will only use for two years.   

Anyway, Hot Guy is sick of running errands and my mom has other stuff to do besides pick up the kids twice a day. Not that they are saying so, of course. But I can tell that my deep appreciation for their help is not making up for the fact that filling in for me is apparently kind of annoying.

Bonus: They're going to stop wondering why I don't accomplish more during the day. 

This is one of those times that I wish I was a famous blogger so that some car company would give me a car to blog about. Does that happen? Do people get cars? Can I pitch Honda to give me an Odyssey to blog about every day? Because I totally would. Every. Single. Day.

Thought: This is probably why I'm not a famous blogger. Only a car could get me to post every day anymore. 

Look at that face, Honda (or Toyota or Chrysler. I love Hondas, but I could totally be swayed). Wouldn't you love to use it to advertise your product? I will totally let you. . .as long as you give me a minivan. It can be used. You can even give me one of those horrendous gold ones, I don't care. 

Do you think that's a good start for my pitch letter? 

Is being dependent on others for rides starting to drive me insane? 

Was "Help Me, Rhonda" the worst Beach Boys song ever? 

Errr, Some Stuff I Was Thinking About

Updates and other info that I'm too lazy to turn into cohesive posts:

1. Go over to Anglophile Football Fanatic's blog and vote for her niece's blog pseudonym. The poll is on the right. And the name you should vote for is Ainsley, since that's the one I suggested. :)

2. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the advice and suggestions you gave me about the Verizon problem. I am happy to say that thanks to the Better Business Bureau the early termination fee has been removed from our last bill. Unfortunately, we still have a last bill. Ah well, nothing's perfect.

3. The people across the street didn't have anyone come over last night. They weren't home. Is it sad that I was a little disappointed?

4. How come it's okay for the government to bail out huge corporations that screw up but this same government looks down on people who have to declare bankruptcy or go on welfare?

5. So this website I write for pays me to write lots of LAME articles (but they PAY, alright?) and some of them wind up on eHow.com. I have NO COMMENTS on eHow. None. So if you could swing by and say something (you don't have to actually read the articles. In fact, I'd prefer it if you didn't.) I would really appreciate it. Like owe you linky love appreciate it.

5a. Do you think I should have a link to my lame articles on the blog here? I'm not sure.
