Ugh, so not Chubby Friendly!

Hello, Hello, Hello

So I was at a junkyard yesterday, or what I lovingly refer to as an Automobile Graveyard. Have you ever been to one? This was my first time and it was, um, an experience. Though I must admit that it was laid out well, no car piling at all. Like a classy junkyard, if you will.

First off the "warning" sign simply states this:

No open toed shoes

Que, que?

Now, what did your girl have on? Well I was rockin' some capris (navy blue) a tank top (Baby Blue) layered under a brown tee and slip-on shoes. Suffice it to say that I was dressed totally wrong.

Anyway, I was searching for an alternator because, #1, I am a poor Puerto Rican and #2, I also refuse to buy a brand new anything for a car that I am almost surely selling in a couple of months.

Anywho, get this, after a million years, I found what I needed, right make, model and year. I actually found 3 of these cars, 2 had alternators and one looked almost new. I was like, score!!! However in true moi fashion I didn't have the foresight to bring any tools and the auto cemetery employees will NOT LEND TOOLS, sucios. I was so pissed at myself, hello, how smart is it not to bring tools? And so with a bowed head and empty hands, I left.

Cut to me hoping that they are still there today when I go back, armed and ready to get that damned part. And by "I", of course I mean my sisters boyfriend. lol

And in case you’re wondering, those places are so not chubby friendly, especially on a hot day. Ay nena, I was constantly taking off the slip-on’s because rocks kept slipping in. And the heat! A sistah was sweating and there is no respite for the weary. It's like being in the army and trying to get back to camp safely. The place was so big that you could loose your way with one wrong turn, I am SO taking bread crumbs today to be able to find my way back :)

And oh yeah, I am sporting my kix (not from New York? that means sneakers- Note: “kicks” also used :) I needs me some grip. Plus I may have to fight for my car part, you should see the guys that were there. This is how they make their living, they buy quality parts off of totaled luxury vehicles and then sell them online. Smart:) But I'll still throw down for mine, ya know?!

'Kay, well, wish me luck yall,

Laterz

Hi, I read your question in the help groups about the poll not working. I was having the same problem and I found this....

If your polls are showing the "Oops" message and you can't delete it
from your Template | Page Elements tab, then you can remove it by
going to your Template | Edit HTML tab. Simply find the code for the
problematic poll, remove the code, and then save your template. This
will work as a workaround until we fix this issue. :)

I did this and it finally deleted my poll so I thought I would pass it along to you. Good luck!

Peace!
Chelle

PS
I am 200 pounds and I wonder if its a coincidence that I stumbled upon your blog! I will be reading your blog from now on! Thanks!
