Being without a car has made for a very long six days. Car problems suck and mine just keep going. I don't like relying on other people so having to ask for rides to and from work has driven me absolutely crazy. Luckily for me, I have some very nice co-workers and a great boss who have all helped me out. But unfortunately, my car keeps acting up. I picked it up this afternoon, and things seemed to be going well. And then I saw smoke. This time instead of overheating, it appears that my brakes are locking. So tomorrow I'll be taking my car back to the shop to see what's going on. Considering that they just put new brake parts in my car, I'm hoping it's an easy fix. I'm also not holding my breath.
I'm hosting Easter lunch/dinner this year at my apartment. Being without my car has meant that I haven't been able to do the grocery shopping I need to do or go to Target to pick up the Easter-related things I need yet. So far I have my menu planned, and nothing I've picked seems to be too complicated (and yes, I know I totally just jinxed myself again. You'd think I'd learn my lesson this week). I'm making a slow-cooker cranberry pork loin, mashed potatoes, crescent rolls, and a ricotta cake. My mom's bringing green bean casserole. I'm excited (and a little anxious) about cooking for everyone, but I think it'll be fun. At least I hope it is. Keep your fingers crossed for me. If all goes well, I'll post the recipes here Sunday or Monday.
I'm so glad this is a short week. My firm is closing for Good Friday. Yay! Let's just hoping I'm going to get my car back tomorrow and that I'll be able to run my Easter errands and to get everything together for Sunday.
