Now, today...

I've GOT to get some of the paying work done. In addition to calling the insurance guy, and going by the bank and getting a check, and all that other junk that's got to get done.

The kids are all excited about getting to go to Georgia tomorrow--not for the car, but just to pretend they're on vacation. We had to make a Wal-Mart run last night (baby shower gift for a couple at church, plus make eye appointments, plus get some shoes for Rebecca) and in order to fully bring the entire family in on my dementia, we made a quick side trip to the Mercedes shop at the foot of the hill. Yep, sure enough--an electric blue 240 was in the back lot awaiting attention, so I drove around there to let them know what my new pet was going to look like. Except not electric blue. They were suitably unimpressed, although Reba quite liked it. "It can be our date car!"

Heh. My evil plan continues to bear fruit.

Anyway, let me get some stuff done, and I'll try to come out and play in a bit. IN THE MEAN TIME--all of you go see what all's to be seen up in the blogroll!

Wow. Having a date car would mean getting to go out on dates. Maybe. Truly you are an genius.

Well, she hasn't actually SEEN it yet--there is still the possibility that I will have to be even more charmingly moronic in order to make this work.

I'm sure it will be okay once you explain that the underhood noise is not squirrels escaping.

Oh, no--I sure hope it doesn't attract squirrels...

I think that car is adorable. I'd go on a date in it.

Doggone it all! What have I gone and done!? I DONE BOUGHT A CHICK MAGNET! And here I was thinking all the anti-hipness of it would shield me...

It only attracts a certain geeky type of chick -- the kind that likes to read things like Possumblog.

I guess I just can't help myself. I think it's the same thing that Chet the E-Mail Boy has to put up with.
