SLOW MOTION CAR CRASHING

Okay... now that we have that straight.

(From many different places published and republished.)

Squeaky left last Monday.

sniff

Hopefully he will have his license soon...

despite the folk who ran the stop sign and tried to crash into us.

Squeaky did everything right!

I complimented him and he said it was pure panic mode...

no thinking involved.

I told him that was the way it was supposed to work!

You know what to do and then you do it automatically.

Of course we were slowing down as we neared my driveway...

and they ran the stop slowly.

Who does that?

It was as if the woman driver decided that crash or not...

she was just going to take us out at 1 MPH...

giving Squeaky time to hang a hard right to safety.

No matter... hopefully it gave Squeaky a feeling of being in control in emergency situations.

I miss Squeaky already.

It was fun having a boy in the house again.

We watched all of the first season of 

Game of Thrones

and all of the second season of

Boardwalk Empire.

Not to mention all of 

The Killing.

Sunday night we watched the season starters

of Game of Thrones and The Killing.

Very cool beans.

But you know how HBO is...

you watch like mad for a week and then you have

seen everything they have to offer for the month.

Still...

I'm truly enjoying their series shows.

I was blown away by the last season enders of

Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones.

Jimmy and Ned are gone!

I was not expecting that.

 Forgive me if I spoiled that for you.

I'm a bit blown away.

We ate too many pizzas and too much Chinese.

We had a popcorn fight.

He did his own laundry and the towels in the guest bathroom!

It was a great visit.

Then Monday I took him to the bus station.

We played "Find The Serial Killer"

with his co-passengers as choices.

It was hard to pick...

so many odd people that day.

Next thing I knew,

I was waving good-bye

and sniffling all the way home.

A couple of good things of note:

The man was hired on permanently at work.

WOOT!

The man complained to Comcast about some issues

we have been having and we got money knocked

off our monthly rate and 

HBO for free for 3 months.

Otherwise I would not be watching those series shows.

And that is how it is in my world these days.

What is up in yours?

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Squeaky avoiding the camera.

Another driver in training day.

A good one too.

No drama, no fails.

Squeaky has the gist of driving a clutch down.

His starts are mostly smooth.

His stops are less... ah... like exclamation points.

We drove all over the neighborhood...

for most of the day.

I'm glad that he is finding a comfortable place with the clutch.

He no longer gets anxious over someone being behind him at a stop.

Good things.

The clown car is grateful that the hopping has ceased.

Me too.

I find myself getting a bit sad that tomorrow is Friday.

This time with Squeaky has been great fun for me.

Its great to have someone to share my evening with and

he is excellent company.

 I do miss my kids.

He decided to stay and go home on Monday.

That way we can watch the season 2 hour opener

for "The Killing".

Its a great show if you have never seen it.

I'm excited that it is finally coming on,

but sad because Squeaky will leave the next day.

Oh well.

You can't have it all.

This weekend I have another baby shower to attend.

The one for Zoe is on Saturday.

We bought a very expensive swing for the baby.

This swing does more than any we ever had for our babies!

It has a light show, tunes, rocks front to back or side to side.

You don't have to wind it up.

The only thing it doesn't do for mom is feed

baby or change diapers.

Moms will never get out of doing that.

Other than that... drive on... as much as we can.

It will continue to rain.

Its been raining for days, with some shine in between  sprinkles.

Today we had some down pour sort of events.

But that is good experience for my new driver.

He will know what to do...

what knob to turn on or off and where it is located.

Three wishes for you:

That the sun is shining where you are.

That you have something fun to do.

And that you have people who love you to do it with.

Happy Friday my friends!

Hey!  Are you buying a Megamillions ticket?

What would you do with that much money?

So many millions...
