I decided to call Katie, who lives in Indy, but often comes to Blgtn. It turns out she was considering coming to Bloomington to attend a birthday party for one of her former charges as a nanny. So with double motivation she decided to come and attend the party then come get me. I will take her out to dinner and we will go up to Indy to get car and it is on her side of town even. So for the small price of dinner (+ $300) I get a fixed car, right? And good company on the way too. Pat would have talked my ear off, and probably about politics this close to election day, and Will, well Will would have been some different kind of story, probably, that I won't tell here.
I feel a little guilty - (I know, Erin, you said I need to get over the guilt!) because I haven't done as much around the house today as I would have liked. I have been wasting too much time online. Debbie told me about a new singles site I should try called "Plenty of Fish" so I went on there and made a profile and messed around a lot. I usually work in 15 minute increments instead of ten when I feel like the house is messy, but I have only been doing 10 minutes at a time today and taking many breaks. I made a hamburger for lunch and my tummy has been in a little bit of rebellion since then. I hope it feels better by dinnertime.
I am thinking of adding another daily facet to my blog - like daily interesting things about Michael. It can kind of illustrate my life more to see how we live together and the things he does. For example, I think it is really interesting that he had EXACTLY the same idea today, that he should go to Farmer's Market for the garlic and then go look for clothes. I had already thought it, but he proposed it first. Sometimes Hippie Boy and I are on exactly the same wavelength. I wish I had had more cash to give him, because if he finds clothes he will wear I want him to buy them! I only had about $15.00 in cash, however, and I didn't want to give him the card to go get more money because of the uncertainty of my plans for going to get the car, and him with no cell phone if he goes somewhere unexpected I might not have been able to find him.
Happy today for Good Hippie Boy, Good friends and all kinds of good things, anticipating my winter garlic supply and I will love having that rope of garlic hanging in my kitchen.

Happy this morning thinking you have your wheels back at home. Bless their mettle and metal, our cars. ...wonderful things when the rubber hits the road.
Same with running shoes, except that my car travels far distances with greater ease. ;-)

Far distances?
Yes, I noticed that one. Go ahead and laugh.
