May she rest in peace...

I was driving to school this morning thinking about how much I hate my car! Not a minute later, I felt a lurch and the car started making a terrible squealing sound. I pulled into the Rite Aid parking lot and called Doug (our very favorite mechanic). He got himself out of bed and came down to rescue me. He checked the car over for nearly an hour and then announced "Rachael, do you know that your car no longer has reverse?" I was like "Ummmmm, can you put it back?" LOL The short answer is NO, he can't, not for any reasonable amount of money because it's a transmission issue. :( We had it towed back to my house and now we need to figure out what to do to get something else. Thankfully we have an extra car or two hanging around right now so it's not a crisis but it certainly isn't what I planned right now. *sigh* So, service will be held soon and in the meantime, donations in her memory may be made to the "Rachael Giallongo Transportation Fund", LOL (<----- Thanks, Lesley, for a great line!)

In happier news, within the next 24 hours I should be an auntie again to my third nephew! Ruth is going to be induced tonight at midnight! I am so excited for them to become parents! :)
