Car Update

I will miss my little Grandy Am, red duct tape and all....however I'm still in the fruit world. I now own a Chevy HHR. Looks like a big 'ol orange in my drive way. Great gas mileage. Reminds of a hearse--yet it's all mine---well, mine and the bank's!

It's funny--years ago--I was about 10 or 11, my mom and I were in a shoe store. She liked this one pair and I thought them ugly. Different sort of look than I usually went for. Mom said that's what made em cool--they were different. I look at this car the same way. To me its ugly, yet it's so different it makes it cool. After that day of shopping, I wound up buying those shoes. And I recall girls in my grade school really liked them.

And today, my car purchase reminds me of my mom, who passed away in 1971. The memory makes me smile, because I know her hand was in this car purchase. Today is her 80th birthday.

Now I need to finish today's episode of Young and the Restless-get rid of Chloe...now!

I am blessed.

Painting Part II

...so much for thinking I did not paint myself last night. Imagine my horror, when I got into my car-AFTER-work, looked down and saw four splashes of red-orangish paint on my right foot and calf. Yep. Even with my complexion, my black and white capri pants---the red-orangish paint was visible.

Why didn't anybody tell me?

* sigh*

Oh well. My feet and calf are now paint free.

Just confirmed that paint is too orange....

I'm still glad there's ice cream in the freezer.
