3 days!

With the school year oh-so-fast approaching, I'm going to try, once again, to kick my blogging butt into high gear. The only problem? No idea what to say.

I've finally got a car. It's pretty, dark blue. We found it on Craig's List. It's kind of funny because at the beginning of the process I found the prettiest car-- a dark blue Pontiac Sunfire (2002, I think), right withing our price range-- and by the next day, the ad was down; it had sold. I was extremely disappointed because the search yielded very little else for at least a week. And then I found the Cavalier. Dark Blue. 2002. So similar, in fact, that most repair manuals will group the two together. So, yeah, that's my car. It's gorgeous, to me anyway. Still needs a name. And apparently some repairs. We've been searching the junkyards for days getting all the details in place, and thought we were done until my dad decided to teach me how to change a tire today. The wheel that we had randomly selected appeared to be rusted on to the hub (someone tell me how far off I am in my car terminology, 'cause I have no idea what I'm talking about). Can't wait to see how much this repair costs.

As of right now, I'm at Caribou again. I'm running out of time for these trips. I'll probably be here on Friday, but that's it. Saturday an acquaintance who lives somewhat nearby and also goes to OU will be caravanning with us down to OK. We plan to leave by 6 AM, which means no pre-travel Caribou. Friday night is it. I'm almost not sure which I'll miss more, Caribou, or the employees there. No, I take that back. Definitely the coffee. I wonder what would happen if I go to a coffee shop in OK and ask for a Reindeer Drink. I expect blank stares.
