Research tidbit via Laura Hillenbrand:
Fun with World War II: On the coast of Britain in June, 1944, a little British ice cream truck took a wrong turn and got caught up in a stream of tanks and other war vehicles being loaded onto ships for the massive D-Day invasion. Unable to get it out of the way, the Americans loaded it onto a ship. On D-Day, amidst the carnage, the little ice cream truck rolled onto the beaches at Normandy.
...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on?
Sure, I walk around hungry all the time! Then I get home and top myself off with a Green Machine smoothie.

My life is quite full enough with disasters that have no warning lights.
When the light comes on, I have about 15 miles left.
Just finished putting together the trivia game for tomorrow. Should be fun! For a good 3/4 of us anyway. The rest will indulge. There's food and drink; it's all good.
I will print in the morning. I am tired.
I ran out of gas twice in my first car, both times in the middle of nowhere on the highway (pre-cell phone). The first time I had my car packed full to go to college, so I didn't get the mileage I normally did. The other time my transmission was failing, which also screwed with the mileage. Anyway, I don't tend to let the gauge go too far under 1/4 tank very often.
Allyson, she's adorable as WW.
Today has been a DAY! We had to go box store shopping wherein I spent $200 on things like protein powder (for Grace) and a new dish drain and lotion and food. Then Noah's soccer game. Then lunch and a trip to Lands End so I can have semi-professional clothes. Then an aborted trip to laminate at Lakeshore. Then Grace's soccer game. Then a 5 mile walk (!!).
In between was putting up all the folded clothes and dealing with kids. ARGH. Tired.
I just received a present that might be more frightening than Belinda. OMG.
It's a purse. Supposedly. Or a backpack. But...it's a fake leather BDSM mummified person thing? With a ball gag and blindfold? It's FREAKY looking. And not in a good way.

We're going to need pictures. Because that's some freakass shit.
Send it to Nicole! Maybe Belinda needs a carrier.
OMG! Perkins is the meanest!
