Summer is definitely here. It is freaking hot today.

We went to Nanette's neighbor's house for a potluck of sorts for the holiday. YUMMY food. Alex ate a ton. Played a ton. Is now sound asleep. He managed to fall asleep on the 5 minute drive home. Of course this means he will be up at like midnight to play.

I have everything packed up for tomorrow and ready to go. I know I am finishing 4 days off but geez it went by fast!

I have major car envy. Of everyone. Part of it stems from my desire to drive something that is not half my age old. Part of it is from the gas mileage I get (12-15 mpg). Part of it is from wanting something NEW. None of these are proper motivators to go buy a new car. Ideally, someone will drop the keys and the title to a Civic Hybrid on my front porch and say "Its yours. Love, anonymous". Given that its probably not going to happen... I have been looking at Kias, Hyuandi and the like. My payment needs to be low enough that it doesn't feel like a rent payment. I would love to get an SUV hybrid but yeah... I would love to be a size 2 also.
