From what I saw, yes.
The Earth has some very pretty areas.

(I can still walk better in high heels).

So ... I sprained my ankle 15 days ago while at a Halloween party (not wearing heels - I was bare foot). It STILL hurts. It was slightly bruised. Any ideas as to why? It wasn't that swollen or anything ...

Stay off of it when possible and when you're just sitting down, prop it up. Keep your foot elevated higher than your head while you sleep and ice it if its throbbing.

I bought a 1979 Volkswagen camper van tonight strictly for resale. I wouldn't be caught dead in public in it. Its poop brown with a orange-ish/bronze top. ZERO rust on the body/pans, the inside is super clean & in good shape, and there's even a bed in the back. I'll post pictures after I get it home this weekend.

Sounds nice, even if the color isn't the most desirable.

I just saw a pretty great commerical on TV. For anyone who has seen Keyboard Cat in the internets, you'll love it (at least I know I did!). YouTube - Keyboard Cat's World Series Wonderful Pistachios Commercial!

I got it dirt cheap, so its all good. It looks like a turd now. When I get done with it, it shall look like a polished turd.

The guy is gonna clean it out tonight. He told me it was "loaded" & while I hate to judge a book by its cover, I'm guessing that means its full of drugs.

Loaded could mean there is a porta-potty on board needing a pump-out.

Haha! Could be, but I didn't see a porta-pooper inside. He was high as a kite when I stopped by his work to talk to him about it, but if I worked at McDonald's I'd probably have to get stoned too. Going to pick it up after Noon.

Wow, that cat is lucky the gators didn't eat him!

So my hubby had to go to work today. Boo. But the big NC rival college football game is on...NC State (my school! GO PACK!) vs. UNC. I feel like an idiot screaming at the tv with no one else here. My cat is sleeping through it though so I guess I'm not bothering anyone but myself.

Hit a 2x4 the other day while going 65. It was dark out and I didn't see the thing until I was right up on it ... and, since I was going so fast, I didn't swerve. Bent wheel now. My poor Borbet.

Other crappy news - (not really that crappy). Went to Starbucks for the first time in about 6 days ... got my usual grande, 8 pump chai cream frappucino. They gave me a banana one ... WTF? I didn't notice until I drove away. Now, I gotta get a new one. FML. I was so craving one (chai) after hearing my wheel is poop.

Good news ... :P
I went to the dealer (ugh) to get oil changed. Only went there because (this is important to the story)... I received a free oil change coupon in the mail from VW of America because it took them SO long to process my COIL PACK REIMBURSEMENT. So, the service tech guy comes out to talk to me about my coil packs being recalled and that they replaced them (because of the recall). I told him, well, I had them replaced about 1 year ago so, they didn't need to be replaced. He says, "Ok. We can put the other ones back in if you want. Or, we can keep the new ones in and give you back the ones you had replaced". Ok ... I tell him (again) that I had them replaced a little over a year ago. So, just keep the new ones in (fresh install today), and I will keep the "old" ones that I had replaced a little over a year ago. (I keep tell him that they were already replaced). Heh! So, I technically got TWO sets of 'free' coil packs from VW. :P Know what I am saying? HAHAHAHAHAAHAH. *ahem* Cool.

Actually ... they don't have a banana one ... so, I guess it is a 'vanilla' one.

HOPEFULLY you got outside and enjoyed it a little! I got up at 6:30 this morning and have been on the go almost non-stop since. I'm seriously considering going to bed and calling it a day at 6pm.

I know how that goes. Sleeping in/getting tons of sleep sounds great in theory but I usually feel more tired after. And if I sleep in too late, I feel like I've wasted the day. That was our Sunday though...slept until 11:30am. Felt good at first, then realized, crap we have things to do and need daylight. Stupid daylight savings time...

Yeah, not too long after I got a call from a friend to go to a book fair. It was fun.

Zoomer has a leak. Not sure what it is. It is very light pink in color and slightly oily. Has no smell to it. I cannot tell you where the leak came from because my skid plate is torn/cracked (long story that happened a long while ago). Looked in the engine bay as much as I could and saw no liquid splatter or spots/puddles. Underneath looks super clean too. No lights or anything on.

Had the oil changed at a VW dealer (dumb ass Larissa) a week ago and they gave Zoomer a clean bill of health.

Any ideas?

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.
