Better Score, Broken Player, Bob's Hours

Quick post, then off to bed. Yeah, it's late.

See Cornerstone for the Winter Break Highlights for Tuesday.

After sledding today, the car wouldn't start. Just clicked repeatedly. Called Bob, he said get someone to jump it. That worked! I was amazed as I really didn't think that was the problem. So, hopefully all will be well with the van.

Got the taxes e-filed today. Finally. I don't know why I put it off so long, when we get money back! I just hate dealing with numbers.

My job training went better today. Attended the first live meeting session online this morning for some more training and then took another "test" tonight. Did much better than yesterday's. And I felt better today when I found out my poor score from Monday was still better than the average score. I think I will like the job.

Touched up my nails and cut my own hair. Like the hair, but the nails look patchy. They need to be redone. I like how they look and since I will be typing a lot, I figure it will give me something to look at. lol

Didn't Tae-bo today. Too busy and too tired. Didn't go to the Pampered Chef show either, though I wanted to.

Bob got the schedule for next week and he has FOUR days instead of three! YAY! I guess a couple people quit.

Suzy was carrying Emily's CD player up the stairs tonight and forgot the handle was broken. It fell down the staircase all the way from upstairs and busted apart. David to the rescue! He fit it all back together and duct taped it, so that it works. Well, the CD player works anyway. The cassette deck door broke off and was unsalvageable.

Made chicken potpie (Bisquick crust) tonight and it ALL vanished. LOL Also made blueberry crisp with the last of the blueberries from summer. It wasn't as well-received. What will I make tomorrow????

I don't have to go anywhere at all on Wednesday or Thursday, though I imagine I'll need to go at least to the store and library at some point before co-op on Friday.

OK, that wasn't as short as I had predicted, but now I am going to bed. Morning comes early.

New Ride

We bought a van on Tuesday to replace our poor squashed Taurus. I was happy to be able to replace the 5-seater with something nice we can all fit in. Our 'new' vehicle is a 2000 Dodge Caravan with 86,000 miles. We were able to bargain, saving $500 off the asking price. The cost was well within the amount we received for the totalled Taurus, leaving us with more than enough to pay the sales tax, license and registration fees, and title transfer.

These are the pix from Craigslist, which is where we found the van listed. I haven't taken any of my own photos yet, since when we brought it home it was dark and right now it's covered in several inches of snow. I will be going Thursday to get the license plate, now that it's insured.

I am most excited to have sliding doors on BOTH sides. This is the first van we've had with that. It's also really nice to have HEAT that works great, since our other van's heater struggles. And it's BLUE!!! YAY!
