Just Pass Me By

I recently got a new Mini van it’s a ’92 Chrysler, I like it. Everything is digital, never had a car that everything was digital. I can’t help but laugh at myself. I had the Mini Van for 2 weeks, and one day I lift from work. I was going 20 and thought wow this seems really slow. I got onto the side street, which leads to the highway I got on to the highway and right away got up to 60. Boy 60 is slow, and everyone passing me by. I took the first exit which I always do onto the next highway with is 45MPH. I decided I would just go with the flow of traffic because I just wasn’t going fast enough to keep up with traffic and was worried I might be pulled over for impeding traffic. I pulled over on a side street. I decided to head home, was trying to figure it out. In my family, I am the car person. My husband calls me for help when he has car trouble.

Well I concluded something was wrong with the Timing belt, or the thing that sends info to the numbers in the Dashboard. Well I was going about 70 to 80 in some parts to keep up with the flow of traffic. I got home and got busy doing other things, forgetting about the odd problem with the car. The next morning I lift for work, and it seems like my speed was really way to slow to be 45 MPH. The problem was no traffic, which means I can’t go with the flow. I was seriously worried about getting a speeding ticket….. Probably in this, case a ticket for going way to slow. People must have thought I was senile. I got to the Stop light and just happened to look closer beyond the numbers and realize the stupid van was set on KPH not Mile per Hour. Some how it must of changed. I laughed all the way to work feeling rather stupid. I guess I had better learn about all digital cars now.

This last week I order Harry Potters Collectors series. I decided to trade in three of my games because I was missing the first one and then get the collection. Surprise, surprise when I picked it up tonight it was the same three games I already had. When I was in the Game store ordering the Collection, I made mention the only reason I was getting the collection was so I could have “Harry Potter” One. I wish the person at the counter had told me that it was only the three games, because I would have kept the games, and worked on getting the one I need to finish my collection of already available games. I guess I need to work on getting the first one again, and I was hoping my collection would be completed tonight.

My husband gave me the games as a “honey I love you gift”. He knows I like action based games, enjoyed the books and so far have liked all of the movies. Had I known I was still going to come up short with the first one, I would have wanted to keep my games it’s like we were charged twice. I guess I have learned my lesson next time don’t buy in advance and don’t trade in my games until I can see what I am going to be stuck with.

I have been driving for over 13 years. Over the last few years, it seems drivers have gotten more foolish. This weekend I went out with my best friend to pick my mini van to get the breaks adjusted. We were on a minor highway here in Minnesota and this stupid truck driver decided he had to be in my friends spot, with us still there. It seemed he was going to hit the side of the car by the door; she got out of the way. Then He decided he had to try to lane change again and just about ran us off the road again, had she not hit the breaks it would have been a mess. Why can’t drivers just wait for their turn or just pass us by.
