I'm sorry, but what did I do to piss off the car gods? No, seriously? My front right tire had a slow leak for a while. Turns out there's a nail in it. And how did I find this out? When driving on the Beltway, just after 270 and 495 merged, my tire just decided to quit and went flat. Whee! The AAA guy got there very quickly--apparently I was a priority, as I was on the Beltway. Hey, at least it was early afternoon and traffic was fairly light. I would've changed it myself, except...I was on the Beltway. No way I was trying that. So I got to get a new tire for my car. Hurrah.
On the bright side, I got quite a bit of Christmas shopping done. I'm now done with my mom and Kathy and Robert, and have gotten something for my dad. This leaves the grandmothers, another for my dad, and whoever I get in the Secret Santa exchange. Of course, this means that I spent a boatload of money today, between presents (and some shoes) and tires.
Current song in my head:
