meh

tire went nuts today. thank goodness for AAA. i really need to learn how to change a tire myself, since it didn't look all that hard. now i've got the tiny spare tire (which means no freeways!) 'till saturday or so, when i can figure out where to go to get a new one. blah.

in better news, my niece nicole turned 1 yesterday! and took her first steps! cuteness! and i had a really nice evening yesterday...the setup went pretty well and then i met up with melinda and we had dinner and desserts at tart to tart and good conversation, so that was happy. so yeah, life's good, even if my car is messing with me.
