Minor Musings

Just rambling stuff.

Will it ever stop raining? Sheesh.

Yesterday was the first clear sunny day since April 28th.

As much as I dislike the sun, it's been an awfully dreary May.

Have you ever tried those USSearch things and put your own information in it? Ever not come up with yourself?

I don't know if I should be relieved, or be perturbed. Do I exist? *pinch*

I need to remember to take the laptop with me to work tomorrow so I can work on the Reunion website from the 2nd floor. Where's my brain again....

I've got a check for 3G in my grubby hands!

Car shopping, woohoo!

5.07.2003

It's offcial. My car is worth 3Gs. This morning Jer and I went to the Tow place to get the rest of my stuff out of the car (be watching for the manual for a 97 Cavalier on eBay!) and to get the plates. And the all important SU Alumni plate holder! We left the stickers in the back window. I don't think I'd have been able to get the sticker off without destroying it anyway. We didn't bother to clean the trash out, someone else can do that!

Tomorrow I must take my Certificate of Title and the lien release note from First Union to the MVA and get the lien on the title released. Then I have to take that to the Geico office in Rockville so I can fill out the paperwork and they can cut me a check for 3Gs. We're going car shopping on Saturday, before I go into work. I still want my Prius, but the penny pinching miser part of me is asking if getting a new car would really be worth having a new car payment all over again, or just get something cheap with the money they're giving me.

In other good news, our refinance of the mortgage is going in at under 6%. Woo hoo!

This morning I also learned how to use chalk! It was pretty cool. No, not that kind of chalk, scrapbooking chalk! Be on the lookout...

I think that's it. I hope that's it. It's not like there's much else going on. Unless you want to know about the dog pooping on the steps while I was changing my clothes. She'd just been outside, too! I guess she was miffed that I had put the board up to keep her in the backyard. :p Thpppppth!

I hope there's thunderstorms tonight. I like thunderstorms. :)

And I was just thinking...It's really like an old friend. I mean, who else goes with you to Florida. Across Maryland and West Virginia to Ohio. To two Pennsics. Across Ohio to Michigan. Up to the alma mater a couple of handful of times...Or even the mundane like going to work. Or to visit the 'rents. Or to the store...

So here I am. It's Friday (thank god for that), I'm not working tomorrow (2 day weekend, hurrah!), and my car is being submitted as a total loss.

Can I cry? Is it okay for me to cry over a car? It's just a car. My first car. The car I've had for the past 6 years. The car that has been 100% mine for almost a year. I know I've been wanting a new car (Prius!), but I'm being forced to say goodbye to an old friend, whom I shall never see again....

Ok, nuff of that.

Tomorrow I'm going to a National Scrapbook Day crop. I haven't cropped since December. I'm such a lazy-ass. I hope to get a lot done, too. :)

Ho-hum.

So ... .. .

I had to do work, so I lost my train of thought. Oh well.
