Yay new car! Boo broken puppy.

Consuela, that food sounds DELICIOUS! This may be affected by me getting up at 730am and only having had eggs and coffee. Another hour or two of class. Then food.

Emmett's struggling to pry some coconut out of the shell and Matilda just helpfully suggested, "Why don't you flex your sixpack at the coconut, Emmett?"

LOL. No, I really did laugh out loud.

I'll post the final pic of 3-D Tetris the Home Game.

Quite looking forward to this.

Scrappy, have fun with your new car! Will you name it?

Steph, I am living vicariously through you today.

Poor broken puppy toe! May it heal well and quickly.

I took a nap and slept hours and hours. My tummy is upset, so maybe I needed it. Luckily there wasn't anything else I needed to do today (NOT!).

Yay new car! Boo broken puppy.

This! I actually got a new car Friday night, so I share in the new car glee. Hurray! Hurrah!

Steph, your vacation sounds glorious. Enjoy!

Thanks for the thoughts, everyone. I really am fine. As far as I know, he did not know about me, but he was alive longer than I thought. I am more fascinated with the detective work/genealogy stuff.

What car did you get, Pix?

Yes, we always name our vehicles and always with the initial letter "M." Our 4-Runner is Moose, motorcycle is Manny and my old car was Mildred. I am thinking "Michi" which means pathway, but haven't decided yet.

Woo hoo - new cars!

And poor little pup with his broken toesie.

I’m leasing my dream car: a 2012 Chevy Volt. Dudes, I don’t even know where to start with my glee about this car. Not only is it amazing in terms of the environment (and will allow me to drive in the HOV lane, which will make my commute bearable again), it’s got so many gadgets and gizmos that I don’t even know what to do with myself. It’s going to take me awhile to figure it all out.

There are so many incentives right now between Chevy, the feds, and the state, I can actually swing the lease payment, which I never thought I’d be able to do given how expensive these cars are normally. I am full of SQUEE about it.

I should note that I paid off my student loans last month, which is how I’ve found the extra cash to do it.

2 loads of laundry.

listed a dvd game for trade on goozex, have another ready to trade if I can get the address resent to me.

cleared out half of a bag of stuff, and started a bag to go to goodwill this week.

ideas of what to do with CDs with no cases?

List 'em on eBay anyway. Or Craigslist. Maybe list them as a lot instead of individually.

I've done two loads of laundry, and sort of cleaned up my front room. (This room needs a name. It's the room that you walk right into when you walk in the front door. It contains a desk, filing cabinet, bookcase, table, electric keyboard, and coat rack. It's also where I store my bike. The best I can come up with is "front room.")

I also went grocery shopping, and I thought I bought all the ingredients for dinner, but the stew I was planning to make has beer in it, and I realized after I got back from grocery shopping that the only beer I have is Strawberry Wheat Ale, which I don't think will work too well in a Mexican stew. So, heating up frozen stuff for dinner tonight, and buy beer to make stew tomorrow.

I'm also thinking about sewing new curtains for my bedroom. The ones that are there now are a really boring neutral print. I want a print that has some slate blue and some dark pink, but the only ones that I can find online are way too expensive, so I figure I'll try sewing some. I do know how to sew, and I have a sewing machine, though I haven't really made anything in years, but I figure curtains are just giant rectangles, so I can't screw them up too badly. I think the worst that could happen would be that the lengths of the panels don't quite match up to each other, but that's easy enough to fix, and these curtains are behind a bunch of stuff so that you wouldn't really notice it. I'll go to some fabric stores tomorrow and see what I can find.
