Yadda Yadda Yadda

Partly cloudy, about 80 degrees but very humid -- we had a nice line of thunderstorms come through early this morning, with lots of thunder and lightning, and it's still very wet outside.

Paying bills, still drinking some coffee -- $166.11 for water and sewer, $249.00 for electricity. Gas bill hasn't come yet, although it's been going down lately. Last month it was $26.33. So have to go to post office and grocery store. Should also vacuum and wash kitchen floor, seeing as how it has muddy dog prints on it now. Heh.

Finished Day of Battle -- just excellent. Not much else at the moment.

OMG there are people in Texas who DO that? *CRAZY!!*

We keep ours set at 74 or 75, when we do run it. This summer has been pretty good to us so far on that front (and last year I remember it being hotter, but I also turned the thermostat colder more often, because I was Pregnant, Dammit. Hee!).

Honey, there are people who still drive Hummers in our neighborhood.

*shakes head*

Yes, I have seen the Hummers driving around--they're here, too. And lots of RVs still on the road, although I wonder how anyone can afford to drive them.

We were actually seriously considering a minivan purchase (Oh, so many nice family-friendly features!) but. Considering that 95% of our driving is within a 10-mile area, and it's mostly just ferrying me and Z and groceries, the Matrix still works great and gets good gas mileage. We decided that the cost of renting a van for the two or three times a year we want to take a long road trip would probably equal only one or two months' car payment--which is really a no-brainer.

Yep, the Hummers are everywhere -- I just hate the monsters.

The folks across the street just got a Vespa for grocery store trips -- it's a cute little thing!

*pictures you and Z on a smart little Vespa, with helmets and goggles*

Hee.

OOOOOOH GOD I WANT. I have wanted a Vespa for AGES, but I never really have had the *need* for one, at least not enough to justify it to the Mr. *sighs dramatically*

OMG IT IS SO CUTE!!!!

Hee! It's candy-apple red, and it just putt-putts along ... Mr. Nightdog and I were joking that you have to develop an Italian accent to ride one and start smoking French cigarettes.
