What a night!

Headed to Disney with my sister, Monica, Heather, Debra, Daisha, and Marissa last night. Went on all the major attractions; Big thunder (twice!), Pirates, Indiana, Space Mountain, and Matterhorn. We even hit Tarzan's Tree house! Cute but minimal excitement for the eye. It offered a great view of the park from above. We had fun taking photos and chatting with old friends, but the best part was watching the entire fireworks show on Main Street. We stood to the right of Cinderellas castle and saw all the fireworks as well as heard the story. I've never done that before and I've always wanted to. SO excited we did!

We walked into pirates and one of the characters thought he'd be cute and take Candice's charm off her purse. She didn't realized it but noticed only when I told her. She reluctantly went back to the short, male, 19-year old, bottle-cap wearing pirate and tried to get her charm back. She had to reach around him, "you trying to get fresh?" and yank it out of his hand. People in line couldn't believe he did that, "You get his number?". She came back to Monica and I thanking us for standing there and watching her. But that wasn't the only surprise of the night.

We left after the parked closed, climbed into Candice's car and started for home. That's when the trouble started. The car made a funny noise and moved 10 mph even though she put the pedal to the metal. We didn't even make it out of the Timon parking lot before we put the emergency lights on. Determined, and stubborn, she decided to see if it would make it out of the parking lot, it proceeded, she didn't stop for the sign and when we hit the first light to the main road she tried for the freeway. God was using his hand to push our car along cause neither of us knew how the car went from not running faster than 10mph to hitting 70 on the freeway. We almost had trouble when we had to slow down to merge. Candice kept on asking God for help and I kept holding my breath waiting for it to explode on us. When we exited the freeway we got a green light and charged ahead, thanking God numerous times for His help. But when we stopped at the corner of Trabuco, and that wasn't our first stop off the freeway, the car pooped out. It wouldn't move. It only rolled backwards. Then it started to smoke so I told her we needed to get out and admit defeat. She was happy she didn't have to pay for a tow from Disney.
So if you happened to see two chicks on the corner of Bake and Trabuco last night, why didn't you stop and help us out?! Luckily Dai and Mariss came by to take us home but poor Dai got a call from her boyfriend to pick him up at Fashion Island cause he didn't have a ride! So Candice is car shopping, poor thing and what sucks is that this isn't the first time it's happened. The first time was in the fast lane on the freeway to LA! Luckily we got a tow off the freeway and in the midst of waiting we waved to all the looky-loos on the opposite side of the freeway. Candice has pictures for proof!
