The Sudan team is cursed and why I love AAA!

So on Sunday my car broke down--randomly--on Interstate 95 between DC and Baltimore. I called my mom's house and my step-dad promptly agreed to come rescue me and Lily from the side of the highway! Then I called AAA. Despite the frustrating wait time while she called around to see if people were open, they were super helpful and it only took about 20 minutes from when we hung up for the tow truck driver to arrive. I had it towed to the place where I bought it, north of Balitmore, near my mom's and will now hand over about $700 for repairs. So brutal. I mean, seriously, some small child probably made that part for $3 in Taiwan. Urgh.

But after towing and transfering the birthday quiche and cheesecake from my car to my step-dads, all was well. A mere two hours that I'll never get back, but at least I'm healthy right?!?!

Then I got to work and found out that my colleague had been evauted from Chad and my other colleague had her purse stolen with everythign in it--planner, check book, house keys, wallet, etc. Blugh. That would suck. And lastly--someone else on my team has pink eye. Seriously?? I've got to transfer off of this bad boy!!

Hope you're all well,
Jane
