More car drama. BIG drama this time.

MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE WAY HOME! *holds head in hands* Actually, to be more accurate, I think my clutch finally had enough of my abuse and gave up the ghost. I'm still learning, and it really isn't pretty sometimes! So it decided to stop being able to accelerate and make loud grinding noises instead, so I had to pull over. I burst into hysterical sobs and called my dad, probably giving him a heart attack. I'm lucky I had Michelle there to calm me down or I would have completely fallen to pieces.

In short, police showed up, called a tow truck, my dad came to pick me up (luckily I was only a half hour from home instead of, say, four hours) and the truck took my car to a garage. In all the ordeal took about an hour or so. It was stressful, but the policeman was really funny and sweet, and I got to see my daddy. I'm rather wracked with guilt because I'm pretty sure I ruined my car, but hopefully (*crosses fingers*) it won't cost too much or take too long to fix.

Then we went to an AMAZING restaurant that was recommended to be my [livejournal.com profile] lyra_wing called The Melting Pot. OOOOOMG SO GOOD. Three courses of fondue: cheese, meat in oil, and chocolate. MMMMPH. It took 2 hours and... a lot of dollars, but it was *delicious* and wonderful and fun and went a long way to taking my mind off killing my car. We went for my daddy's birthday.

I'm glad to be home for spring break, it's nice. I miss my daddy and my sister when I'm at school. So, yay. I think today on the whole balances out.

And I have my shiny new SGA S2 DVDs! YAAAAY!

Good goodness, Anne! I'm glad you made it home okay. :)

ISN'T THAT PLACE GREAT? Never let it be said that I don't know food. ;) True, it's pricey, but it's great for special occasions. Happy birthday to your papa!

Thanks hon! I'm so exhausted from today, man. But I am home in my own bed :)

IT IS SO GREAT OMG. Quite pricey (*cringes*) but we all agreed that it was worth it. We weren't gonna get a cheese course, but we changed our minds, and OMG. SO AMAZING. And my dad and I got one of the entrees for two with shrimp, pork, duck, sirloin, potstickers, and chicken. Hooooooly crap. SO AMAZING. And then the DESERT! We got the s'mores one. Oreo-covered marshmallow + melted chocolate/marshmallow/graham cracker crumbs = HEAVEN. Jaysus. Amaaaaazing. Thank you so much for the rec, honey :D We had a great time.

Aw, honey. I'm so sorry about your car! I know how vexing and upsetting it is. *hugs* I'm glad that the end of your evening worked out so pleasingly in contrast.

*hugs tight* Thanks for the kind words, honey. It was QUITE the day! I ended up sleeping 11 hours to top it off :)

Sorry about your car, they just have a head of their own some days no matter how smooth a driver you are ;)

Have a great spring break!
