my parents just came up from ottumwa to bring me my car. they were going to bring it before i got back, but it was leaking anti-freeze so my dad wanted to fix it. then, they went to texas the day after i got back, so clearly that wasn't a good time for them to bring it to me. i don't get it, they drive two hours each way, and they stay for about half an hour. which, i mean, i guess i don't mind since it's not like we have a lot to talk about, but it just seems weird. my dad explained to me how to check my anti-freeze, and how it works (i did take drivers ed) while telling me about ten times that i have to pay my $100 parking ticket that i was planning on paying anyway.
but i got tex, my cactus, back, and a small gift from my aunt lisa. i handed over stephanie's birthday present, and my passport (guess i can't flee the country now), plus some tea that i bought for my mom. they looked around, hopefully missing my box of wine, and left. too bad, i wouldn't have minded a free dinner. but at least i can go to the grocery store now, and i don't have to drive laura's car. (sorry laura, it just scares me.)
besides that, all i've done today is clean and have lunch with liz birkel. i miss liz.
I was goign to comment that you don't have to apologize for not wanting to drive my car. Half the time I don't want to drive my car. Why do you think I avoided taking you to Gary's:) The reason I didn't comment is because I think that since we are sitting next to each other it's a little bit silly. However, obviously that has not prevented you from prolific posting on mine :-D
