My new car

My new car is... expensive.



A week or so ago, I noticed a big flap (for lack of a better word) cut into the wall of a tire. It didn't look good, so Josh took the car to a tire shop. Indeed, it was bad. And apparently, there is some rule about replacing tires in even numbers, so he bought two. They are "low profile" tires (I have no idea what this means, just parroting the information as I have received it), which means they were pricey. Ouch.



It didn't really bother me about the tires until this last weekend, when Josh managed to spray paint my car. With spray paint. With all of the spraying of paint that involves. Onto my car. To put it simply, HE SPRAY PAINTED MY EFFIN CAR. It was an accident of course, he tells me. He took it to a car person of some kind (spray paint-scraper-offer?) where he was given an approximately $200 estimate.



Between the two of us, with running over things and reckless painting, we have racked up over $550 in car repairs.



Lordy.











Megan and I are once again hitting the road. This time it is the bustling metropolis of Stillwater, OK (pop. 20,000-ish), where Karin will be taking up residence. (If you are thinking to yourself, my, I don't know who this Karin person is, but she sure moves alot, I understand. Megan and I are nodding our heads in agreement.) Again, we are dragging a baby along (hers) and riding in the same car (mine). We don't typically have good luck on vacations, so start crossing your fingers for us now. As long as no one dies, almost-dies, or throws up, I will consider it a success.




I have been putting some serious thought into updating my blog more frequently, but that is as far as I have gotten.

Ideas:
1. Post daily
2. Post on a schedule
3. Post infrequently and apologize alot

So far, idea 3 has the most momentum. Why try to stop a train that is already rolling, ya know?
