Steam Bath on Wheels

Happily, my car started pouring steam out of the defroster and heater vents the other day! I'm so happy! There's nothing like having your windows fog up in 2 seconds, and by the way, turning the fan on only makes the issue worse. It's like driving around in a hot shower, only not as relaxing. So here's me, driving down the street with steam pouring out of my windows and sunroof, and me swabbing the windshield with a towel so I can see well enough to get my car parked.

My car must look much like it's being driven by Cheech and Chong.

BUT, Andy has been a prince to get up early every morning the last couple of days and drive me to work. And pick me up. And thank god I'm dating a Volkswagon mechanic. When I passed his house at lunchtime today, he had my hood up and doors open and I could see his feet sticking out at odd angles. Good boy!

Car problems suck, and I realize how dependent I am on mine. At least, that is, if I have to go to work. Maybe that's it. Car problems aren't so bad. It's work that sucks!

Oh My Chocolate

Apparently, someone at my work entered a radio contest, and also apparently, our company won.

Some guy from KAFE radio just showed up here with a HUGE basket of assorted chocolate items, including 2 pounds of fudge, a chocolate decadence cake from the Colophon, some big chocolate macaroons, almond roca, plus various and assorted filled chocolates and also the kind you break up with a hammer!

Damn, someone "up there" wants me to put back on the five pounds I took off a month ago. What with Thanksgiving and spraining my ankle (not being able to go to the gym), my car breaking down (not being able to go to the gym) and now the chocolate, I'm going to be undone!
