CRAZY START TO THE MORNING!! (I'll have pictures later!). I had an early morning meeting today and I went to hop in my grandma-car, light blue Grand Mercury Marquis, and when I started it up, there was a strange sound and a pop, and then some smoke started to shoot out from under the hood, and then . . . FLAMES!! I freaked out, and yes, probably screamed like a girl. (I'm still a little jittery, even as I write this!) I couldn't get out of the car fast enough. I ran inside, grabbed the fire extinguisher and was able to put out the fire, although I think I used the whole tank (first time ever using a fire extinguisher!). But, it scorched some stuff pretty bad, and the initial reports are that this is it for old blue.
Meanwhile, Jen was wondering what I was doing running in and out of the house, but she just closed the door and went back to bed. Of course this is going to affect her more than me, as now she'll have to either be my chauffer, or I'll be hers. Old blue had a good run, but what a way to go out!!!
That's life, though. Things, they'll come and they'll go - don't hold them too tightly, because they can be gone in a moment. Have a great April Fools Day everyone.
