Hello? Is this thing on?!
Wow. Lookit me ignoring you guys. I totally suck. It’s like I have 18 blogs to keep up on, and I’ve been letting them all slide! No more of that! Here, let his cute picture of my kid make up for it!
See? Don’t you feel better now? Of course, now you can make all the jokes about dogs farting and all of that. I’m a giver, what can I say?
So, that beat up old jeep of mine? Well, my son was a doll and bought it for me, so that he could have a car of his very own. Amazingly enough, this allowed me to turn right around, borrow a little bit more money and get myself a better running version of the car I just unloaded on my son. Oh come on – he’s gonna tear it up anyway! Stop looking at me like that!
Anyway – i’m now the proud owner of a 93 Jeep GRAND Cherokee. Yes, it’s two years OLDER then the other one, but was literally driven around by a little old preacher man for 30 years, and he took much better care of it then we did mine. And it has heat. And auto windows. And auto locks. AND CUP HOLDERS. I’ve spent 10 years carefully balancing my large diet cokes against the e-brake! I now have CUP HOLDERS!
And it’s red. Just like my other one. See?
Isn’t she PRETTY? Course, on the way to swim practice, the kids asked if Papa had been in the car because “it smells like little old man!” so now it smells like “Vanillaroma!” thanks to the scenty tree hanging from the review mirror -a mirror which I totally have to learn to use again since mine fell off in the old one 3 years ago..
But all that pales compared to the the best feature – because OMG.CUP HOLDERS PEOPLE!
Ahem.

Ford MyKey
I have one teenager who’s THIS close to getting his license, and another that’s already nagging for her learner’s permit, despite the fact I made her brother wait longer than his friends before getting his. So clearly, driving is a regular topic of conversation around these parts. And it’s terrifying. I mean, I’ve ridden in […]
Respecting our Elders.
When I was growing up, we had an elderly preacher live with us for 11 years. The story goes, Mama decided to pray for patience once, and God delivered by giving her an old man who’d try the patience of a saint. And he did, daily. Grandpa S was, well, he was something. He was […]
Babies having babies.
Mama always said that she was a ‘baby that had a baby’ when she got pregnant with me a mere WEEK after her wedding to Papa. She and I still look like sisters (I’m the YOUNGER one, dammit!), and we often joke that we grew up together, because, well, we did. Ok – so SHE […]
Planet Ahead – Get it?
So, in my many many hours that I spent bopping around the internets, I come across some pretty interesting sites sometimes, and this one is no different. I don’t even remember how I got there, but in one of my random link-clicking sprees, I happened upon PlanetAhead.ca, which caused me to instantly ask the question […]
