Heebie Jeebies

I woke up this morning and begin my daily ritual (brush teeth, comb hair, wash face). I was drying my face on the towel hanging next to me, and as I stepped back I immediately noticed something crawling across said towel. Let me first point out that the creature calling my towel "home" had to be big enough for me to see without my glasses (read: I can't see a thing without them). This rather large, brown, furry spider, which was now scurrying for its life - was quickly deposited into the toilet and flushed (sorry buddy, under different circumstances you might have been spared) and my towel was tossed into the dirty clothes hamper--I dunno maybe I thought I was going to get spider cooties or something. It's now going on 2:00 p.m. and my skin is STILL crawling. That's just not a cool way to start your day!

I GOT MY MINI

No, I'm not talking about a new skirt, or a feminine hygiene product. I'm talking about my new car! My British Racing Green Metallic Mini Cooper. Those of you that know me, know I've loved this car from afar for quite a long time. When they came out with the new ones it pushed any thoughts of a VW convertible right out the window. And you don't even want to know how much digging I had to do to find one that had everything I wanted on it. As it was, I was totally into getting a red one with white bonnet stripes, but none of them had the prerequisite Black leather interior, Dual Panel Sun roof, Harman Kardon CD/Stereo, 5 Star Silver Alloy Rims, chrome accents, sport package, etc. So I located one in Alabama that had everything but for the bonnet stripes and it was green. I thought about it for a while, contemplated getting it painted, and then by the time I ordered I had fallen in love with the green. (See, sometimes these things work this way for a reason). Waiting for it to be delivered was a form of torture. I got the call yesterday, while I was busy cleaning out the garage (to make room of course) and picked it up last night. Thus ends my update... I gotta go drive!
