Check out the newest addition to our family. Last night I became the proud owner of a yellow 2003 Subaru Baja.

It's not the one I was talking about last week...that one had already been sold. I took some photos tonight and posted them in the photo gallery. The main selling points for the one I got, even though I wanted a manual, was the bed cover and the bed extender. I was really interested in this 2004 white Turbo Baja that they had because it was a manual transmission and had the bed cover, but it was more expensive, had more miles and the bed was CARPETED! The whole point of a Baja is it is part truck. If you want carpet in your cargo area, get an Outback.

My car now needs a name. The old Subaru never told me what his name was. It may sound kind of stupid, but I feel bad for my old car. I feel like I'm betraying him after all I've put him through the past 7 years. Is that weird?

I found Marcus some Mexican Pepsi in a glass bottle. I'm not thrilled about the circumstances of the discovery, but he was glad I had found some. After conversing late with Marcus after his return from Tennessee, I didn't get to work until 7am. I couldn't get the front door open again. I was sooooo pissed. I was meeting my friend Chrissy for lunch today (she lives on that side of town) so I couldn't just leave and go home. I was pacing back and forth along the sidewalk in front of the store trying to decide what to do when I spotted the Pepsi in the cooler of the place three doors down. Of course, they weren't open and had no hours posted. I eventually left to run errands (after blistering my index finger trying to get the key to turn in the lock). I got back a couple of hours later and the door opened. Stupid thing. Now I had to see the stupid manager and make dough in a hot store. At least by the time I finished, the Mexican restaurant place had opened and I got Marcus a couple of Pepsis.

Well, it's getting late and I need to get some sleep. I'll write tomorrow about the cool day I had Wednesday. I made a huge post about it and when I hit submit, Firefox locked up and I lost the whole post. *sigh*
