reading the manuals

cuz nobody is bouncing up and down with me all excited to drive around in the new car... jackson is finally able to drive so she went out on a date last night instead of enjoying my new car with me the first night i had it and today she has a funeral for a friend, which is sad and has her bummed and grumpy and preoccupied so the universe did not choose the best weekend for her for me to buy a new car but i bought it finally cuz i could no longer use hers and wanted to give her back her car with it as good as new which is why we took it to the car dealership to get all sorts of maintenance done (tune up, oil change, belts changed, alignment, balancing, rotation, full servicing and more... almost $900 in service work which ultimately helped with the sales and financing for my new car because i pointed out that we now have two toyotas and obviously spend money to take care of them {and service and extras is how dealerships make their money much more than the little profit they make on the car sale itself} and jackson will probably be looking for a place to buy a new car in the next year or two and all that good negotiating stuff) and i really don't feel like calling too many others (helena knows but she has family in town and is busy all day and night) and harpo knows (but he can be such a worry wart and spent our brief telephone conversation cautioning me about using the right oil and not liking the dealership i went to, but that's ok, i don't like the dealership he goes to {and we both have toyotas} so it balances out) and happiness and curious know but i don't think i want my first passengers to be a wet dog and cat with muddy paws and it is a chilly nasty raining day out there, so i am enjoying myself by myself as usual (alone again, naturally)...

the little sad doesn't last long when i start reading the car manual and sitting in the car exploring all the toys ya know...

yay for new toys :)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
