I Wasn't Kidding...

... when I said I pack too much into the end of May. Let's start with last Friday, shall we?


MAY 21
Mom's birthday. Go to work and corral the family into a big dinner party/cook-out at our house. After, bust ass getting the dinner things ready and laid out for guests. Mom's friends come over as well. Success.

That night, Molly's farewell party. Did we ever get tipsy. I may or may not link to the video where I reenact how she will be mauled by bears. Success.


MAY 22
After the recovery from the previous night's shenanigans, there was another social gathering. Some of the party people opted out in favor of nursing their hangovers, but the rest of us had a nice evening. Success.


MAY 23
Spent the day car shopping with dad. Found the car I fell in LOVE with. 2010 Jeep Compass. 5 speed, silver, powerful. Also found out that Mazda doesn't make stick shift vehicles. Success.


MAY 24
After an extremely stressful day at work, decompressed with friends over dinner and drinks until late. Success.


MAY 25
Day off spent on the phone with banks over car loans and credit ratings. Spent time on-line surfing for best breakdown of my choice. Success.


MAY 26
Was approved thru bank for loan. Went to Orlando with mom to finalize car deal. Airport Jeep tried to screw me over, saying OTD was 16,000 and wouldn't be able to find that car for less. Second dealer found the vehicle I wanted in another color for way less. I agreed and put my down payment. SUCCESS.


MAY 27
Dealer called with bad news. He quoted price on the WRONG VEHICLE. One I wanted was a thousand more. FAILURE. Argued price down to $200 above the original agreement. Success. Found out that the car they would be getting was from Airport Jeep and was the exact car the prick dealer wouldn't agree to go under on. EPIC SUCCESS.


MAY 28
Finalized on all car deals - bank, insurance, tag, title, etc. Drove to Airport Jeep to shake hand of manager thanking him for getting the car to Greenway Jeep, and told him I wouldn't recommend their services to anyone. Escorted from dealership by security. Brought car home. Success.

That night, birthday party for Seb! Nerdy shenanigans.


MAY 29
BFF's birthday. Party plans unsure, but it should be guaranteed to cause some form of a party hangover.



Whew! So there you have it. My crazy week. Pictures still to come. Hooray!
