The dukes of vicksburg

when i woke up this morning, i had no idea that today would wind up quitethe way it did. i figured it would be like an other columbus d. Nothing big to report. i was wrong.
this morning i worked around the house, big surprise there. i got the first coat of paint onto the trim and the vanity. it looks nice. it needs one more coat, but it is starting to look good. then, i went over to jackson. all was well, i went to the new mall, which isthe nice part of town. it was a little rainy, but all was loking good. I droped a bunch of money at the petsmart buying dog food a new dog bd and toys (how spoiled is she). The good news,I shouldn't have to go buy food until t-giving if not christmas. i wnt to the car, and it woulnd' turn on. arg. what the hey. so, i thought i needed a jump. i walked over to target, did my target shopping and got a set of jumper cables. a nice guy helped me out, and we jmped my car. it started up and all seemed well. i'm a dumb girl when it comes to my car, but i know to keep it running for 15-20 minutes. so, i went over to hobby loby (my last stop) and sat in the parking lot with the car running. it just stopped 5 minutes after being jumped. so, i went into hobby lobby to find out where the nearest auto zone was and to get scurity to jump me again. well, this strip mall had no security. but, a nice woman heped me out. we jumped it and i was about to head out. i put the car in gar and it just DIED. so, we tried again. disaster ensued. it wouln't start up. it kept making this bad noise, and not the type of noise i associated with trying to turn over. so, i wound up haning out at the strip mall for a whlie longer while my friend kirk came to pick me up. he and his roomate brought a trailer and we brought my car back to vicksburg. right now it is sitting at the shop. it may just be the battery, but i want to get it checked out since it went from having no problems to being unable to take a charge.

the best part of the story
we had to jump it to get it on the trailer. then, when we got back to vicksburg, it was dead again. so, we had to uhook the truck from the trailer and re-jump it. note that the car is about 12 inches smaller than the trailer, so kirk had to do the dukes of hazard thing to get in and out of the car. we jumped the car. then they started to re-hook up the trailer so we could get the car off. as soon as the trailer got hooked up the car died AGAIN!!! so, we were going to have to unhook the trailer, pull the truck around and d it again. we wound up "engineering" it and hooking my jumpers and their jumpers and getting the car started. what a disaster!!!! i feel like only me.....
OK, hopefully that gave y'all your laugh for the day.

Tuesday's Update: My car is fixed. It was just the battery. We so could have just gone and bought a new battery and not gone through all of the trailer issues. But seriously folks, that MADE the story.
