This weekend ROCKED! I think this is the first weekend I've had since I started this blog that I can actually say, ROCKED! Right now I'm like sooooo bouncing off the walls. That's cause I bought tons of stuff this weekend. So here's an update that wraps a few previous blogs up. First, I bought the latest *NSYNC CD, Celebrity. I know I said I hated the divergence from their original sound, but now I'm forced to take eat my words. I LOVE the new album. Well, maybe that is too strong, but it is certainly up on my list right now. There are some songs I still am not that into, but I love "The Two of Us", "Up Against The Wall", "Selfish", and "Something Like You" that features Stevie Wonder on the harmonica. The photos in the liner notes are neat too. But you ain't gonna get me to scan them. Go buy the album!

Next, is un update on the truck. I got it. I think that's why I'm so hyper. That beautiful green truck is parked in my space down in the lot right now. I kinda feel like that guy in the Lexus (or maybe it was Infinity?) TV ad where he runs down to the garage at like 2am just to open the door and see the car. I feel like doing that right now. I'm just in awe that I finally got my dream car. Of course, not without a little help from my parents who contributed $1500 for a down payment. (Thanks, Mom and Dad!) (And if you're reading this, I guess we have more to discuss than the thank you, huh?)

But here comes the only downer to the weekend. You knew it was coming right? Well, I ain't gonna disapoint you either with a lame one. The brand new truck is already broken. Yes, you heard me B-R-O-K-E-N. It has less than 5000 miles on it and there is something severely wrong with the steering on it. I think it's just a loose joint, but I have to take it in to be sure. We you apply the brakes, it always pulls to the left. At first I thought alignment. But then why, when you accelarate, does it pull to the right, or sometimes to the left, or sometimes not at all?!? It's funny, you hit a bump in the road and you instantly pull the opposite direction. Then also, when backing up into a space, you hear a loud THUD coem from under the driver-side wheel well, when you straighten the wheel after it has been turn to the left. (Specific ain't it?)

Anyway, I already have an appointment to take it back to the dealership first thing in the morning to get it fix. It's still under manufacturer's original warranty so everything should be covered, especially since I just bought the thing!
