Car!

We have replaced selenite's old car, the effectively dead Dodge Shadow. Yay.

We've bought a 2005 Ford Taurus, bronze/tan, slightly under 17K miles. Power lotsa stuff, CD. Technically can seat 6, and has 3 carseat anchors in back, that's nice. Cruise control. Lots of pockets. I am pleased, and I think she likes me. (And people can quibble about me anthropomorphizing. Whatever. They can relate to inanimate objects their way, I in mine.) I drove her home.

I have named her Dwynwyn. (A Welsh saint, and a very pretty name that sadly selenite won't let me use for future kids anyway)

Feel free to relate to inanimate objects any way you want, although if you wish to marry them, I will probably mock you. :)

No. Oh no no no. That would be scary. And I would deserve mockery.

Nah. I just tend to talk to things occasionally, name things of significance, imbue them with a bit of personality. Sorta the Rihannsu view of Objects in the universe, if you've read Diane Duane's Star Trek books.

Congrats.

Will you be bringing the new shiny thing to the ORAC meeting tomorrow ?

Nah. We're not going to make it there. It's allllll the way over on the east side, and it's a PAIN keeping the kids somewhere like that. Yes, there's a playground. Which means we'd end up chasing them all over the playground, NOT getting to participate in the meeting. Might as well go to a playground here. And there's a local Easter Egg hunt that would thrill Maggie.

Congrats. I'm glad that part of the car headache is over, and you sound very happy with your choice.
