Made about 750 miles of 810 before the check engine light came on for the first time ever. Happy vacation to me! #
At the mechanic, listening to CNN whine about why mean Obama won’t tell them who his running mate is yet. #
So, so, so, so, so bored. #
$363 later, I have full confidence in my car once more. Despite what others may think. #

And am now in the slowest ever concession stand line. #
@mizmoose Shrimpy Goes to LISA? Jeeez, you know how long it’s been since I thought about that!??! #
@smokes70 Where else — our fantastic and convenient (with one whole indoor ice rink to serve the entire city!) park district! #
Oh, such a long day. Such a long, long day today. And not over yet. #
@mizmoose Where did the pictures go? I distinctly remember pictures. But I think it predates my Flickr usage so I am helpless! #
-0.4 (-6.2). Yay! #
So psyched! The extension office just called me back! I can finally get my new (to me) pressure canner tested! HOORAY!!! #
Just killed an hour at http://cakewrecks.com/. There is some astonishingly bad taste out there. #
Make that http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/. See, I was so astonished I couldn’t remember the URI! #
<wasy> go get a beer!
<twork> “it’s a vacation in a can!” #
I hate dropping Tiger to leave him at the vet’s while I go off to have fun out of town. :( #

Today’s goals: Get registered for ice skating class, get to Sox game by first pitch, try not to strangle anyone due to choking resentment. #
Quads unbelievably pissed about hilly workout last night. For reals. #
My god, the line for skating lessons is UNREAL. I got here 15 mins early and i am number 166! #
They just told us to check the whiteboard THRU THE EVENING to check for classes to fill up. Evening?!?! #
My god. This is bedlam. Or possibly hell. #
I wonder if the parents would notice if i started tripping the little angels. #
I made it thru the signup line! Now i’m in the line to pay. Totally missing the first 2 innings at this point. #
Oh, and, i finished my book, so now i’m just trapped here in line with my exhausted patience. #
