I may be maturing or maybe it's just midlife in spades

I, Stevie, have Volvo lust. I've had it for over 25 years.

They represent all that is safe, comfy, reliable..in car form. They signify stability and a modicum of economic stability and they hardly ever break down, I'm told.

I still don't own one, which makes this unrequited lust, I suppose.

But it turns out I may be fickle.

I know! Really? But Stevie you've always always always said you wanted a Volvo. Always. See above for reasons.

Until I saw the new Honda Crosstour.

OMG!

It is: sexy, sturdy, sleek, shiny, and it's a Honda. I love Hondas. I had a Honda Accord for 15 years...and only gave it up after delivering Baby #2 and realizing the risk of permanently throwing out my lower back hauling said Baby out of the carseat in the back of the Honda was only moments away. But I didn't want to give it up, it had been an awesome car. Awesome.

The Crosstour:


I am in l.o.v.e.

Sorry Volvo. I've just relegated you to Old Lady Car status.

Schnazzed up Desert Magnolia..again, thanks to LP the graphics guru!

Happy Thursday, everyone! Nope, it's not quite Spring yet, but sometimes a girl's gotta get a new 'do. Or in this case this girl's gotta get a new blog header. You know what I mean. Thank you LP! You rock. I love the artistic approach..it's soft but nice and still says, 'Enter here at your own risk, for opinions of a strong nature are sure to be expressed.' That's how I see it, anyway.

May I please be excused?

When G.G. was sorting through the mail the other night he stopped, then started to chuckle. And then he handed me an envelope in which a Jury Summons was contained. He chuckled because he has been called twice, and I have never been called. And for some reason he thought that wasn't right, or fair, or something. Well, I got mine. But it turns out I need to ask them a favor. To postpone my civic duty until after the holidays. Because before the holidays I am responsible for planning and overseeing and/or executing all year end marketing and PR for our little company, as well as publishing our final edition of an e-pub that now distributes to over 300K people each edition, so it needs to look good. And not have spelling errors and stuff. And then when that e-pub flies? I'll be flying, literally, to Providence, then to Europe and the Middle East. There's a lot to get done before I go, and I'm desperately hoping that our jury management system accepts my reque

Frigid

There's cold, and then there's the cold that takes your breath away when you breathe in too deeply. We've got that right now. Clear, blue skies, and frigid cold temps. There's just enough warmth in the sun to cause the enormous icicles that have formed along our roof to break off, sort of a mini calving like you'd see in the Antarctic when an iceberg cleaves. And loud, a big CRACK! happens, and then Whump! it hits the ground. The governor just issued a state of emergency for the entire state. And asked all of us to lower our thermostats ten degrees! Right. So, if we're having issues keeping pipes unfrozen with normal range furnace use, what's going to happen when/if we drop that range ten degrees? That's the difference between liquid and frozen water. Ten degrees doesn't sound like a lot, but it is. And I'm pretty sure she's not going to have her staff lower her thermostat by the ten degrees she's proposed, then put on her silk long
