on the road again...

just can't wait to get on the road again
(everyone sing)
goin' places that i've never been
seein' things that i may never see again
oh i can't wait to get on the road again

so here's the deal...on thanksgiving my car started acting funny and strange lights came on.  on friday i was told that i need a new engine.  yes, a new engine. 

i'm not sure on the details because we found this out late friday afternoon and haven't had time to ask a lot of questions (that will come tomorrow a.m.) but $4500 was mentioned.  my guess is we can find a cheaper solution but that it will still be in the thousands of dollars.  

my car isn't paid off.  

i don't have a job. 

i've cried a lot this weekend. 

we have pretty much sat around the house this weekend in a serious funk...i don't want to be social and i could pretty much stick christmas in a box and forget about it. 

i have my dad on the case and i will be talking to the dealership and my personal mechanic tomorrow so hopefully i will have more details and better news. 

everyone cross your fingers.
