A Reward
The cold weather has finally paid off. A nice snow is falling outside and it looks really pretty. I like how the snow here sticks to the roads. It seemed in South Carolina it would never stick to the road. I actually really like the snow. If it's going to be cold, I would rather have it snow than be the dry, windy cold. I like it cold and snowing better.
It's fun too being "guaranteed" to get snow. It's just going to happen. In South Carolina it was a waiting/guessing game and usually disappointing. What Michigan considers a "light snow shower" on the news is what South Carolina calls "Winter Storm 2007". It's such a big contrast.
Today I went Christmas shopping, only to realize I don't know what to get...for anybody. So, I didn't buy anything.
I am really really ready for a new car. My Saturn is past that point where you care about it and try to correct the little things. Last night my "low coolant" light came on, but it was way too cold to try to look for any leaks. The reservoir was full, so oh well. Today the stupid "service engine soon" light came on and the car starting shaking and surging a little. I was thinking "keep it up, I'll dump you faster than you can imagine" and then it stopped. My suspension sounds like an old hotel bed. It squeeks and pops over all the bumps. June 2008 is my target date for my Atomic Blue Honda Civic LX. I can't wait.
I will be 24 in 23 more days.

I think your airplane ticket (or are you driving?) back to SC will be my present - only a couple weeks til I hopefully see you! :)
First: Great Pokemon of the Week!
Second: You know that "low coolant" light is the first step in the road to ruin. Just look at little Phyllis. I bet you still remember that day when you made it come on, and now she's gone.
Third: You're getting almost as old as Old Man Swindlah!
