A Set of Wheels
I am now the proud owner of a 2000 Honda Accord EX. It's black with tan interior, and it's a manual transmission! Scary! Pictures to follow.

Potpourri from the Week
Some things that have been happening: (Wasn't that a completely non-colorful verb?)
On Sunday at our College and Career fellowship, Rachel B. and I beat Zak and Anthony in four straight games of pool. We were very proud of ourselves. (They did help us by scratching, but we were winning at the time!) I think my pool-playing, through no fault of my own, has actually improved since that time in college when LoBe beat three of us (Christine, Pitchford, and me) who were teamed against him even though we cheated blatantly! These games were much better played. Or maybe our opponents weren't as good this time!
Last week's most exciting event was my getting stranded on the side of the highway fifty feet from my exit! The traffic was backed up a mile and a half, and after creeping along, stop and go, for 20 minutes, my car got tired and quit. Thankfully, I was able to restart it long enough to get to the shoulder. Also thankfully, I was able to call Dad who came and got me! I really need a new car, though!
Tuesday, my baby brother turned 13. Now there are four teenagers in my house! I can't believe these kids are so old and grown up. It doesn't seem that long ago that I was spending all my time babysitting toddlers! I'm glad the Lord has allowed me to be at home these last few years to get to share in my brothers and sisters' lives and get to know them as people, not little kids.
And, last but definitely not least, the countdown to The Game stands at 39 hours and 4 minutes! Go Buckeyes!

A Note from the Grammar Police
I just saw a sign that said: "Thank You Veteran's." Argh! Plurals do not get apostrophes, people! Only possessives get them! The really sad thing was that this message was on the sign board for our local elementary school! What are they teaching kids there, I wonder? I guess that explains the sorry state of grammar usage in our country today. If the schools don't get it right, who will?
Okay, I'm done. Thus ends my little rant. I know most of you are about to fall asleep right now because you simply don't care. But a few out there will sympathize with my feeling of horror at seeing this bit of mangled punctuation.
