I'm looking outside at another autumnal snowstorm. I wonder if they'll cancel school tomorrow. Even if they can get the plows out and revving, where will all the snow go? Still, the last time we had a snow day, hell did too.
The other guy's insurance company offered me fair compensation for my totaled car, which floored me. Now I need to further narrow my list of small wagons I want to buy. I've driven a couple Toyota Matrixes (Matrices?) and been mildly pleased but not left with the feeling that I was in the car. I also like the look of the Subaru Impreza but have never sat in one. Maybe I'll surprise even myself and opt for the Jetta.
My dad calls it the car disease, and I definitely have it. On Saturday I was up until 2:00 AM scouring the internet, comparing car reviews on different sites. The part of my brain that tells me it's time for bed actually fell asleep, which of course meant trouble for the rest of my brain. I need to buy a car so I can stop obsessing about cars.
Julie did not give birth today or show any signs of impending birth. I told my classes that I could be gone for five days at a moment's notice but that, if the baby were a steak, at this point he would only be medium. Let's all hope for medium well or well done, I told them, or better yet crispy like Lyla was at 41 weeks. I'm glad I'm modeling for my boys, particularly, how to discuss pregnancy with class and maturity. Maybe tomorrow I'll give a mini-lecture on the cervix door.
Dan has the same car brain disease. If you find a cure, let me know. Because with him, it doesn't stop if he buys a car...just slows down temporarily.
ReplyDeleteooo I'll sell you my car... with a family discount, even! ^_^
ReplyDeleteMatt has been doing a lot of car research as well - even though we are not looking to buy a car right now and I don't agree that we need a 'fast' car but that doesn't stop him. Anyway, he has his eye on a Subaru as well so it might be fun for you two to chat. :)
