I'm gonna laugh at my dads's exasperation from the first 3 days (out of almost a month!) of his grandsons, 12 and 8.

I'm an awesome daughter.

I think magic seat is what Honda calls the ability to reconfigure the seats in so many ways.

I do enjoy my RAV4! It's a pretty old one though, 2001. Is she only looking at used cars, then?

Posting medical pictures? That seems...fraught with HIPAA violations.

I am super excited--my roommate showed me how to use her grill, tonight, so I made some delicious pork loin chops, and she had grilled veggies, and I plan to eat off the grill for the next several days while I am home. Also, I bought an ENORMOUS watermelon (and several pounds of cherries, and two pounds of strawberries, and....) NOM NOM NOM.

I was setting up a small electric fan next to my desk and wondering which direction to point it in. A small voice said "How about pointing it directly at you?" To which I replied "Because that's decadent and shows lack of character. I don't need cool air being aimed directly at me, cooling off the whole room will be enough." And that actually seemed reasonable for far too many minutes.

Monday I moved a giant standing fan to the opening of my cubicle, with its air stream running right across the back of my neck. I don't care if it's decadent, I like not dripping sweat while I'm working.

My cousin seems to enjoy driving her Fit, though I don't know any of the specifics about mileage and such.

I love my Fit (2008, base model). I have the stick version, and it's surprisingly zippy for 4-cylinder. I average 32-35 MPG, in non-highway driving. It's not a great highway vehicle, though. It lets a lot of road noise in and feels unhappy at anything over 70.

Tsk, Connie. Cool air right on you? Next thing you know you'll be lolling about on furs, letting oiled, semi-clad young athletes feed you foreign chocolates. [thinks] [thinks with mental pictures] [thinks with mental pictures, safe search set to "off"]

It does, but I bet they're pretty funny anyway.

The microwave works! Breakfast is saved! it was my Pancakes of Fail, so not an especially good breakfast, but that is hardly the microwaves fault. And t was the last of them, so the next batch can be better.

I've got a day of testing ahead of me, and my lunch "break" will be filled with the tailgate luncheon (so, free food but no free time) and I have at least one actual My Job thing that must get done today, so probably staying late. I think I will swing by the farmer's market after work and rectify my no fruit situation and maybe even hit the Thursday evening wine tasting on the square.

Yay microwave?

I'm in the office again. Got lured in with the promise of getting my laptop back - this is week 4 post-tea-incident. I sent a note yesterday asking when she gets in the office and have not heard back. So I'm here. Working and waiting. I'll probably head home once I get it though.

So, my new house, needs new windows. I have two that leak and one with broken glass. I'm not replacing them all. Yet (too expensive), but my HOA has approved the replacement plan and the windows are being made - installation will be the first week of August. Damn windows are expensive. There goes my hope for buying a new car in the near future.

My sister is on her 3rd Fit. She drives a lot and on mountain roads. Loves the mileage and the seat options. She also has a dog that occupies the back area daily and she has no complaints.
