A New Car

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

So we have our new car! It’s a nice little Honda Civic. We didn’t wind up with a hybrid this time, but I think this car will be good for my long drives to UCI and other places. It’s an automatic; my right knee really despises the clutch when I’m in traffic, so this is [...]

Driving to AVAC

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

(where I exercise), gas was $2.39. Driving home 1 1/2 hours later, when I planned on filling the tank, the same two stations were now charging $2.41.
Sigh.

Car Update

Monday, June 27th, 2005

… and the winning car looks to be the Honda Civic! I know I’d talked about a different car quite a bit, but the little hybrid dream will be put on hold for the time being; we don’t have time for waiting lists and the Prius, from all we’ve been told, is close to a [...]

Cars

Monday, June 27th, 2005

We are car shopping. A week ago I never would have thought we would be car shopping already. But our Mazda has an awful lot of miles on it, so it’s not a bad idea. Add to that the fact that Brandon will be living in Seattle for a bit over a month, and the [...]

Rest

Sunday, June 26th, 2005

Today has been a day of total non-activity.
I was planning on church, but while I half-woke several times I wasn’t fully awake. Then, I did finally get out of bed, but had an atrocious earache. Of course it went away somewhat quickly once I took Tylenol, but it was too late for me to [...]

I Can See Again!

Friday, June 24th, 2005

I picked up my new glasses yesterday. I’d finally had it with not being able to read my music, so I ordered a pair of music glasses as well as the regular ones. What a HUGE difference! Suddenly those notes on the page are in focus. How ’bout that? My computer is easier to work [...]

Days

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

Yesterday was “Stupid Guy Thing Day” … but since I know no stupid guys we didn’t observe the day.
Today is “Let it Go Day” and, believe me, I need this day. Badly!
1) My oboe is misbehaving.
2) The cat Jameson is feeding escaped the house and won’t come out from underneath the shed.
3) My email [...]

Overheard

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

… while Brandon, Jameson and I were walking in downtown Willow Glen:
“Oh yeah, and I’m having a girl.”
It was just funny the way the woman, who was perfectly pregnant*, said those words on her cell phone. It was as if she said, “Let’s see, could you pick up some milk and eggs. And, oh yeah, [...]

Poor Potatoes

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

British farmers are up in arms. They want the term “couch potato” to be nixed. They are requesting that it be removed from the OED. They think “couch slouch” would be better. Potatoes have been getting a bad rap. Isn’t that sad. I know I was moved to tears when I heard the story.
