cheer UP!

there's always room for....

...ice cream!  And REAL ice cream, at that - not the "frozen dessert" crap they try to pass off as ice cream.  This Breyers Double Churn Extra Creamy Real Ice Cream here met, if not exceeded, our expectations and even converted a die-hard Häagen-Dazs fan.  The intense chocolate flavor and velvety smooth texture got us wanting more despite the drop in temperature.

I bet it'll be good too with some Bailey's drizzled on top!

yikes... not again!!

What is with my bad luck with cars this year... is it a sign that I shouldn't be driving anymore??  Oh wait - this time, my car got hit when I wasn't even in the car!!  And my poor baby just got all fixed up in June when some woman drove into my car when she turned left and left a huge dent on the door and scratched the whole left side.  Who then tried to blame it on me for trying to run a light (I don't ever recall it being a crime to keep going under a green light...)

This guy here in the parking lot today backed into the back of my car and left a crack just behind the wheel on the bumper and a scratch on the quarter panel just below the fuel intake - then tried to brush it off and said it's just my car being dirty.  Good thing my co-worker was just looking out the window and caught him before he could take off - otherwise I'd be at a loss.  I don't really know what to do though - would it be worthwhile to get my car fixed again?
