Maybe Wednesday will be a bit slower....

...doubt it.

I've decided my life is on an eternal fast track.  And it will remain so until I get these kids out of school.  *sigh*

Yesterday was tutoring and the school had their monthly skating party.  It was actually a good time - I found out that one of Nick's friends' dad went to school with me in Middle School. I actually went home and pulled my old year books and had a look.  Gah, you should see the pictures of me.  In the spirit of elsielann  (since she posted one of herself from her childhood), I should scan the pictures and post them for grins.

I also chatted with another mom about ADD and the school the kids are in.  Anyway, it was a good time at the 'ol skating rink last night.

I misjudged my time yesterday at work and I was late getting the kids.  Must work on getting my timing down better.  Just me not realizing how long it would take for me to do a certain project.

The van's at the dealer's today getting an oil change.  We have free oil changes for 2 years from our dealer with a free rental car.  So, we are trying to be good auto owners and actually get it changed when we're suppose to and all that jazz.  I am zipping around town in a dark blue PT Cruiser for the day.

I need to beta at some point today.  I've got half of one story done (jeconais ) and 2 chapters of another (Gridley).  I'm also planning on getting one of my stories edited this week and sent off to aggiebell90  so she can beta it, and send it on to the gal she's mentoring to give her an example of how to add comments, what types of things to say, catch, etc.  Anyway, that's what's up on the betaing world.

PT Cruiser

[brother-art.livejournal.com]

I had to rent a car last February and they gave me a blue PT Cruiser -- wait for it -- convertable. They guy acted like he was doing me a favour. I'm like, "Excuse me, its February out there with snow on the ground!"

Oh, I took the car anyway. I've wanted to try out a PT Cruiser ever since they came out, and that is half the fun of rental cars.

So I'm curious as to what you think of the cruiser? I was not that excited. In particular I found it had very poor sightlines out the back. The rear window was small, and the pillars on either side of the back window were very big, which made it hard to see behind. Could be just because of the fabric roof and the up/down mechanism. I also thought it was poor on gas.

Looked good, though.

Now, get back to work. No, not that work, finish up WKGQ already! :-)

I wasn't impressed with the PT Cruiser, either. It was the 2nd time I've had a rental from the dealer, and I've had a PTC each time. Very stripped and very basic. I don't like the sightlines either -- the pillars on either side of the rear window were large on the non-convertible too.

And a convertible? In February? Where you live? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The image of you driving around with the top down in February bundled up is quite humourous.

*grin*

My hubby and I had talked of getting a Cruiser once we were back into cars (we currently have 2 vans), but we probably won't now. Neither one of us was impressed.

Have a great day, Art!
