Realizations from saying goodbye to Mazy The Mazda

Today I said goodbye to Mazy (my Mazda). It was actually a really hard time for me. As I was cleaning out all of the different compartments of my car, i began to realize that tears were rolling down my cheeks. Its hard to believe that such a faithful car that traveled the U.S. with me and how she never disappointed me when I just had to get out of time or even offered a place to stay for the night. I found scissors bought from a trip in some dollar store on my way to Missouri with Cindy before our trek across the nation. I discovered bachlorette playing cards from a wild adventure in Denver for Nikki. Bobby pins, cds, shoes, and tire chains that reminded me of the Donner pass and peoples obsession of glorifying that whole tragedy, memories of crazy fun times with Chris. Saying good bye to this car really made me realize that just certain memories of my life are just memories now and sadly I guess its just time to let go of it...considering those memories are just that- memories. New memories will come and go. Saying good bye is hard by letting go is harder...i guess the new chapter really has begun...I suppose Mazy hung around longer then just the college years and I'm thankful for that...hopefully those memories will hang around for longer yet remind me that with Mazy those times have flown out the window. With a new car approaching and being discovered (hopefully soon) new memories of being spontaneous, blind and unwaivering love, friends, and new risks will arise.

24th birthday and a car accident

My 24th birthday went really well this year! I had a really great time hanging out with the gal pals and just hanging out at the library for Patty Fiasco, who sang happy birthday to me. It was also a lot of fun going to the Naughty Pines Roller Derby. It was such a blast spending the whole weekend just having a great time.



Sadly, I was in a horrible accident this past Thursday. A sixteen year old hit me head on, when she turned left into my lane. I found out on Friday my car is officially dead and pretty much can not be repaired. Sage and I are both okay from the accident. I had a pretty bad neck and back sprain which is finally starting to feel better even though it is still painful. Hopefully i will be posting pictures soon of a new car, from the money her insurance will be paying me...hopefully i won't have to get a second job to make payments.
