Dean woke me up yesterday morning calling to let us know he'd completed the title transfer of the car we gave him and added it to his insurance. I decided to stay awake anyway, but I stayed in bed reading for an hour or so. I've reached the limit on renewing my book, and now it's due for real on December 16th. If it starts to look like there's no way I'll finish it I'll have to reserve another copy.

Note to self: I need to fill my new prescription this week.

This morning we carpooled in Jonas' new car. Boy, was it toasty with butt heat! I'm not sure what's going on after work -- I'd love to go out to eat but we really shouldn't. I've got such a craving for Culver's chili cheese fries right now!! Then there are the turkey leftovers in the fridge ...

My car seriously needs a paint job and some windshield repair. I have several patches where the paint has peeled off entirely and they are steadily growing larger and rusting. My car is already 10 years old so it's not worth much, but it also needs to last me another 2-3 years. I don't want to feel like a poor person driving around in a piece of junk. Jonas looked into the cost of touching up the peeling spots as well as getting a complete new paint job, and they basically amount to the same. A whole new paint job seems silly considering the age and relative value of the car itself, but something has to be done -- and soon.

Oh, I have to mention -- Jonas and I played Scrabble the other night. He doesn't really like playing that much because English is not his first language and he gets really frustrated trying to compete with me. Somehow I convinced him to play just once for that night and he came up with some pretty good words: growy (something/someone that grows really well), eggdressed (presumably describing an egg that you dress for cooking, like a dressed turkey), sundressed (the state of wearing a sundress), and lionjowls (in Swedish you can often smack an adjective onto the noun it describes to create one long word, unfortunately not so in English). I wasn't trying to be mean or make fun of his efforts, but they were so funny I couldn't stop laughing. :)
