This is a good thing that started out as a bad thing.
Three weeks ago today, I brought my car to the shop and found out that it was basically shot. No good. I was lucky it hadn't died on me in the middle of the highway. So I sold it for parts, and went on my way.
On the positive side, I've done more walking in the last three weeks than I've done in the last three months.
Anyway, last night I was walking to a friend's house (all right, to Chris' house) when I saw a car with a "For Sale" sign on it. I took a picture of the car and the number, called this morning, went over today and test-drove it. I love this car. I brought it to a mechanic, who checked it out and said apart from the air-conditioning system, which doesn't work all that well, it's great. That clinched it. Just got off the phone with the owner and the car is mine!
I've already named it Gary. This is why:

The new inventory system I helped come up with for the gift shop is working really well so far. <3 Also, we sold more today than it usually sees in months.

So I can't believe I've never actually listened to Samhain (Glen Danzigs so-over-Misfits, not-Danzig-yet band) and holy crap. This is easily the shittiest thing I've heard in awhile and I love it. Glen should have never met Rick Rubin and just continued to record drunken gothy punk rock at the bottom of a moldy well forever. <3

Thanks! We went off to Orlando - did the theme parks. Back now, and hell, wish we'd had longer down there.

Thanks to some help from very nice neighbors, our driveway is finally cleared of the two feet of snow blocking our vehicle. I also managed to clear almost all of the downed tree limbs from the driveway and sidewalk. After two days we might be able to leave our house!
