New Car! July 1, 2010

We got a new car!

And I mean NEW car. 

I haven't had a new car since before I was married.  We took advantage of the 0% financing by Dodge in June and finalized our new car yesterday.  Dodge Grand Caravan with a great entertainment package and all the frills.  So today I drove around a bit-- hit the 200 mile mark -- while the kids enjoyed the DVD package.  This car has a back-up camera- I tried it and ended up in the lawn instead of the garage, so I have a little bit of practice to do.  It has a 30 gig hard drive.  It will play a slide show of all your jpegs or play all of your MP3's.  Has Satellite Radio and a ton of other very neat features.   Your read it right-- 191 miles.  

NICE


We also went to the fireworks display tonight that were hosted at TC3.  We went to the high school and had a nice time.  The kids enjoyed themselves and the fireworks were pretty good.  Scott got there first and then I came with the kids later.  He made a donation for all of us so when I got there they just waved me in.  I did not know any of the 3 working the entrance so I rolled down my window to let them know that Scott paid but before I could talk they said-- Go through, we know who you are.   

really?  

It's strange to think people recognize me but I don't recognize them.  So I spent the next 30 minutes racking my brain for how I knew these people.  I hate it when that happens.  

I start with most recent stuff
Cornell? 
School Board? 
Carlea's School? 
Maysie's School?  
Scott's friends?  
Neighbors? 
Church people?  

Then I go a little further out
SIG people?  
Old jobs? 
working out at TC3?  
people who work in local restaurants?  

I don't know.  

I feel bad because if they know me I should probably know them.  Oh well, It'll bother me for a while and then when I least expect, it'll pop into my head how I know them.   Hope whatever interaction I had with them was a pleasant one.  I'd hate to be remembered as a grouch!  


Scott's parents are arriving this weekend and I'm off to clean the house!!!
