New Wheels + About Me in Three

I'm *exhausted.* I took today off work to get my car situation figured out, and I still need more time. Why are the weekends not long enough? Today's Real Simple quote really got to me:

There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want.” ―Bill Watterson, "Calvin and Hobbes"

So...the car. Right. Anyway, I didn't really know what I wanted. I had never really "picked" out a car before. Everything had been just picked out for me or I didn't have much of a choice. This time around I knew I wanted an SUV, but realistically it just wasn't happening. I have a crazy long commute and I need good gas mileage. I also needed a "cheaper" car. The SUVs I were looking at weren't exactly in my price range. I do like the boxy type cars and the hatchbacks. I wanted to be able to throw the dogs in the back and GO! I had never even seen this type of car before on the road (and if I had, I surely didn't pay much attention to it), but after driving it I really liked it!
It's a Dodge Caliber and has very low miles and it's pretty clean. I've been calling it a station wagon and joking that I'm one step away from a minivan, but whatever. I think it's a fun little car. There's even a cooler in the glove box. That really sold me. :)

With all this depressing oil spill talk, I started to remember the first time that I had really heard about oil spills and bad-drilling-bad! Remember that episode of Saved by the Bell where Zack's favorite duck died? Anyway, I could only find this edited clip (it's SBTB mixed with There Will Be Blood). That was just a random bar thought I had last night that I wanted to share.

No classes for me for two weeks--just work, work and work! Cinco de Drinko is Wednesday, but are you ever just *spent?* I'm soo tired from car shopping, baseball games, the sun....etc! Here's to an ever productive and amazingly awesome week everyone!
