You know that saying, “Life is what happens while you’re making other arrangements?”
It was definitely in full force yesterday. I thought I was going to have a nice, relaxing lunch with my parents, then send them on their way. Instead, their car broke down on the Beltway, stranding them, my brother, and an eight month old overgrown shaggy dog of a puppy (yeah, try getting him in teh back of your miniature car!) for the majority of the day. Since my apartment doesn’t allow dogs, we’re in the midst of packing, AND Sailor Boy is in the throes of final-studying-before-bar, it meant I entertained my family (and the puppy) for all afternoon in a local park.
Then came home to discover we may have a few issues with the secret stuff going on. Big issues. MAJOR ones.
In between, I worked. A lot. And am still working now and will likely be working again at 6 a.m. this morning.
My other brother and his wife are also in town, so at least I get to take a break from all this work later today and go to lunch with my sister in law.
Right, and get my oil changed. And write 10 pages.
Is Jiffy Lube really “jiffy?” I need to know.
In other news, the rumors contest is still going strong. Check it out below.

Jiffy Lube tends to be “Jiffy”, Merchants does not. It took an hour and a half to get my oil changed this week and I had to go back later to get the tires on my van rotated! I was running really late to get my kids by the time they were done with the oil part of the program and the daycare charges in 5 minute increments

Jiffy Lube is pretty Jiffy where I live. You should be able to get in and out in under 20-30 minutes if you car only needs an oil change.
