this has been one of Those Days.

[enamoured]

To file under Things That You Don't Want to Happen on a Sunday Morning (Or, Actually Ever): waking up to hear your dad tell your brother that the SUV is gone.

Since my dad's car got totaled in January, he's been driving my mom's Yukon. And apparently, it is Gone. I don't even know, guys. I think about half of us are about this close to having a nervous breakdown, and when I get angry, I do weird things, so I cleaned the kitchen and cleaned out our silverware and knife drawers. I found three old D cell batteries in the knife drawer, and one was corroding. And when I finished that, I crammed stuff into the dishwasher and washed the other things.

I hate feeling like I have zero control over anything.

To counter the crap news: the other night I was having a Discussion about cover songs, and I ended up making a very big mix of some of my favorites. Individual songs can be uploaded upon request, just so you know.

Wow. What a crappy ass start start to your Sunday. Sorry to hear about all that, Candice. I hope the rest of the day will suck less.

Also, those are some awesome cover songs. I've got half of those already, and I look forward to hearing the rest. I was actaully just listening to the Bird and the Bee Hall and Oates cover album yesterday, so there's a great coincidence! :)

So far, I think all we've been able to do was file a report, and we're going to have to see where it goes from there.
