(I freaking love that movie.)
So…Who else has the cause for Ultimate Suffering? Wait, wait! I can answer that question.
The answer would be ME.
The check engine light is back on in my car.
I would say that the popping sound you just heard was my brain exploding, but to be honest, it exploded so many times last week, it really hasn’t recovered yet. My husband said that he talked to the mechanic about this possibility and that it probably isn’t a big deal and something that can be fixed at our leisure but we have to get it scanned (again) and I have to look at the damn engine light being on while I drive (again).
SuckasuckaSUCK.
Since I don’t want to just concentrate on car suck a duck, here are some other random bullets of yada yada yada.
- I get to see one of my college roommates for lunch and and a manicure/pedicure today. I have to have my nails done for my role in Thoroughly Modern Millie and I have to say that I am really a fan of it. I NEVER paint my own nails. I always end up looking like Lizzie Borden after her big axe workout with the folks. They look horrible. Having someone else do it is pretty awesome.
- Since I only get paid for doing the show at the end of the run, I will have a nice little sum of money. It will probably be put towards debt but I would LOVE it to be put towards a Nikon D60. I like having a little money of my own. It makes me really keep thinking about how I wish I had some skill that was actually profitable. Everything I’m good at is usually low or non-paying. Yippee.
- I’m getting freaked out about BlogHer. Mainly? I AM FRIGHTENED I WILL BE A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS WHEN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND I WILL NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE OR RECOGNIZE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE OR REMEMBER YOUR NAME. Because most of the time I call people by their blog name in emails, conversations and in my head. I am scared that I will just draw a big, fat blank when put in social situation.
- Mid-July is going to be an experiment in travel hell. I get back from BlogHer on the 20th. I have a show on the 21st and I leave to Seattle for a family reunion on the 22nd. Did I mention I will be driving in a van with TWELVE OTHER PEOPLE? It is almost enough to make me want to walk the pier and give $5 blowjobs to come up with airfare. (Except I live in a desert, so there is no pier. And that pesky TMJ issue I have probably wouldn’t jive with my master plan, either. Freak. I can’t even make money at the world’s oldest profession. This doesn’t bode well for that whole “Career plan” that I’ve been thinking about. Crap).
Well, this post has been rather random and inappropriate. What can I say? I like keeping you on your toes.
Stumble it!

Hi there! Sorry about your car. That is a bummer.
Love mani/pedi! I need one too.
No worries about BlogHer. You will do great! I do not recall you calling me The Chronicles once during our lovely time together. Everyone is going to love you.
FYI, blowjobs should cost much more than $5. In my house they cost like $1000. Now a handjob on the other hand….
Can’t wait to see Wall E. Maybe this weekend.
This is why it is fortuitous that BlogHer lists blog names on the ID badges as well as regular names. Just get used to thrusting your badge at people who ask who you are and vice versa. :)
And… I’ll know who YOU are, that’s the important thing. ;)

(I love that movie, too).
So sorry about your car.

Walk in there and say, “hello, my name is Enigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
I LOVE that movie. Anybody wanna peanut? No more rhyming now, I mean it!!

The check engine light comes on in my car when the gas station attendant is lazy and doesn’t screw the gas cap on all the way. It drives me completely nuts (who wants to see CHECK ENGINE when they’re hurtling down the highway?) but it’s easy to fix. I will hope that yours is for some equally simple to remedy thing!
Greet everyone at BlogHer confidently, with a smile and, “Hi, I’m Loralee!” 90% of the time, the person you give your name to will give you theirs right back.

$5 blowjobs on the pier? That’s how I got myself to EFY back in 1992.

That really sucks (no pun intended.) I really am sorry you have a TMJ problem. On the other hand, it probably saves me a trip.

Sorry about the suckiness with your car. I hope you’re able to solve the problem once and for all without too much cost.
Princess Bride is one of the best movies ever made. I quote it on a regular basis. Almost any situation in life can be summed up with a quote from the movie.
Sharons last blog post..Loving the laziness!
LOL–I linked you from June Cleaver Nirvana and got a laugh out of the blow job/TMJ thing. I guess you know a loser when THAT’S no longer a last-ditch effort to save yourself from starvation ;-)
I have the same fears about BlogHer. And about people who leave comments and say they can’t wait to meet me…and I have NO IDEA what they look like.
Awkward.
Angellas last blog post..Justice Denied
I’m totally paranoid about not knowing who anybody is at BlogHer, too.
Christines last blog post..Where I whine and complain
the check engine light was on in my Ranger for 3 years. It would just come on after being reset when I filled up the gas tank. Nothing else wrong: check engine light should have been a “check engine light” light.
And I know you are going to want to recognize everyone at BlogHer. But, get used to disappointment.

I’ve always wondered how many words you could pack into a title before the browser crashes . . .
And you always are good for a laugh (sorry about the car)
A van with 12 other people!?
You are CRAZY. You better start blowing. ;-)
My name is SIZZLE. I am the short, round one with retro glasses. Cheers!

Maybe you could set up a blow-job booth at BlogHer? No? Not okay?
The Over-Thinkers last blog post..Calling All Jane & John Doe’s!! Time to spill it.
Oh I had to bolt to the bathroom, I was laughing so much from this post. TE HE HE HE thanks for making me laugh, I so needed it.
Big hugs,
Love Toni
$5, really. What can I get for $20, i just got paid for mowing my grandmas lawn(im 29LOSER).
I will not recognise you. Or anyone. But I will get mega excited when you (or anyone) tells me their name and I recognise their blog. I plan to do a lot of reading name tags.
Missys last blog post..How Did This Happen?
After several days, my husband’s car is STILL in the shop because they can’t figure out why it won’t start. Should be a pretty penny.
And BlogHer? It’s allllll about deer in headlights!
Ambers last blog post..Happy Canada Day and the Story of "Eh!"
My Check Engine light came on over the weekend. Are you sending me your bad luck vibes?!? I just dropped my car off this morning and fear what’s wrong. Given I just bought a house yesterday, I’m not exactly rich these days. :-)
I also got a manicure and pedicure over the weekend. Such luxuries should be required all the time!
Nilsas last blog post..Closing
omg! you have tmj too? i feel sorry for you. my tmj is a cross between my mouth hurting, my cheek and ear hurting and a headache beyond all reality. and that’s only slightly numbed by really good drugs.
funnily enough, i was rearranging some books in my closet and i came across the book the princess bride. strange cowinkedink.
I’ve been driving around with our check engine light for over a month now. I’m just pretending like its not on.
Sounds like your busy.
