unfortunately, i'm not referring to a fax or email or that type of transmission.....i'm talking about the transmission on my mini-van.....grrrrr
saturday morning, after delivering 1 of 2 cake orders for the day, i stopped by starbucks for my morning coffee (that's so not a usual thing for me - i just hadn't had my morning coffee yet and had some time to kill).....in attempting to pull out of their parking lot, i found out that my van wouldn't go into reverse......thankfully, my parents were nearby and with jaden's help, my dad pushed me out of the parking spot.....i was still able to drive it home, and even deliver the 2nd cake order (i was only 10 minutes late getting it there).....but then pulled it into our driveway to sit until we can get it to the shop
we hope to get the transmission replaced by the end of next week, but as i'm sure you know, this is a pretty costly repair! we've had plans to travel to NC this weekend for my BFF's daughter's 1st birthday (of course, i'm helping out with the cake) for quite some time, and this unexpected expense couldn't have come at a more inconvenient time! i thank God for my aunt Tracy and her extra car that we are borrowing in the meantime - it'll be a cramped trip with the 5 of us in her light blue Buick, but at least we're still able to go.....this too shall pass! :0)

Oh no! What a pain! Thank goodness you have another car to borrow in the meantime. Good luck getting the van fixed quickly and cost efficiently!!!
