The Saturn

This is in memory of the beloved The Saturn.

#1
Bubby, Leslie, Lindsey, and Brandy covered The Saturn with old, fall leaves. And when I say cover, I mean, pilled front to back, stuck with moisture to the sides, and on the roof. Entire car. And then I got to drive it to make them all fly off.

Driving to Bricktown for Lauren's birthday. We went ice skating.

#2
I still have the rock that busted my windsheild. Today it went outside the car for it's first time since entering the car (October 2003).

#3
Racing on River Road. and NEVER losing.

#4
The Saturn moved me from Tryon, to Chicksha, to Norman, to a different place in Norman, to a third place in Norman, to a fourth place in Norman, to Tryon, and back to Norman.

#5
Ultimate mudding vehicle.

Brandon driving. He was ... 13? ish..?


#6
I will always have an appreciation for radio since The Saturn had a radio total of 4 months the entire time I drove it.

Little Praying Mantis on the car.



#7
My favorite trip in The Saturn was when we went to Six Flags. My party was stuck in traffic close to the OK/TX line and the guy behind us would not get off the bumper. Ashley crawled through the backseat, into the trunk, flipped the trunk lid opened, and scared the crap out of the guy on the motorcycle behind us. He stayed off of the bumper.



Such a lovely thing.
Always a dandy.

Adult Day I guess

I went to sleep around 1 last night because I knew I could sleep in this lovely Saturday morning. Instead, I woke up at 6:53 am. I laid there for a little bit, then decided I would get up and run (which I planned to do on Sunday because I could sleep in today). Big funny joke, right?
Then, to continue on in my adult morning, I paid bills. How old do I feel today? I've really had an old week. It's (and I'm listening to "Pour Some Sugar On Me" as a side note) just been one of those weeks. At least I got to go out for sushi and 1 drink this last week. haha. For school, I wrote an outline/bibliography type assignment for my pre-rough draft work (which isn't due until the 27th). I know he's just trying to get us prepared for the 2 year journey, but seriously? Pre-rough draft work? I guess it did get me researching the topic a little and someone gave me some suggestions on what else I could look at. Assuming his (classmates) advice pays off, the peer suggestion part will be nice. In my capstone class last fall, my pal and I bounced ideas off of each other, but maybe the option of the entire class will work? I hate having people (sometimes even the teacher) look at my 'work.' Someone has to grade though, so I suck it up and deal.

I bought new jeans yesterday... in a size SMALLER than what I've been wearing! Pretty ecstatic about that crap! My running is starting to pay off. The best part is? (well, sarcastically so) The better I'm being physically for/to myself, the lower my confidence. What is that all about? Maybe the progress isn't progressing as fast as I'd like, or maybe even expect. I think it's more of the expecting half because lb wise, I've hardly moved, but I su'pose I'm toning enough to make a difference. I build muscle like an ox.. so that's kind of unfortunate, but I guess toning is not bulking.

This is how I woke up today. Rearing to go. Why? I could not tell you, but I guess it's a fairly decent way to wake up. I'll be rockin' my new jeans today.
