Car Trouble

QUESTION! What's the funnest thing to do on a Monday night? If you said "Stay home and watch Dancing With the Stars" you're wrong, although I do want Laila Ali to be my new best friend. Nope, the funnest thing to do on a Monday night is come out of the Jewel to find that your car is deader than the nerves in Joan Allen's forehead, try for three hours to get the hood open so you can see what's up with the damn battery, then give up and pay a tow truck driver $60 (borrowed) to haul your stupid dead car six blocks to your house. Wooo hooo! I told you! The funnest!

Ladies, listen to me. If your car is going to break down any place pray that it is a Jewel. Several men of the mechanical persuasion stopped and tried valiantly to help me, and if my car were less of a stubborn pig I'm sure they would have had it up and running in no time. And I didn't even look cute! And my boyfriend was standing right there! You think any of the nancy-boys who shop at Trader Joe's drive around with tool kits in their cars? Doubtful.
