HEY!!!!

I DROVE A SMART CAR!

A friend's neighbor was walking out to his Smart Car this afternoon, and she told him how much I loved his car. So he handed me the keys. And I drove it to the next town. He came with me because I was afraid I would break something.

WOOOHOOOO!!!

It was fun. Really fun. I have recently accepted the fact that I probably won't get the chance t own one, but I had a wonderful time driving it.

It gets roughly 62 miles to the gallon. He said that 4 liters of gas will get him 100km. 100km is 62.5m. A gallon is 3.78 liters. Oh, and gas around here is 1,36 Euro per liter. So 5,44 Euro, or 7.41 dollars gets you 62 miles. Have I mentioned seeing more Smart Cars on the road recently?

Gas on base is currently just over 3 dollars per gallon. I honestly don't know the exact price. I'm paying less than half of what my neighbors pay, so you will hear no complaints from me!

But back to what I was saying.....I DROVE A SMART CAR! ME! WOOHOOO!!!

Artwork

From the boy, of course. He brought this home from school ad said that he wanted to share it with everyone. I told him that it was going on our wall (I'll pick up a frame today), but that I would be happy to put it online for everyone to see.

If you want to see the original, you have to come visit. Or you can click on the picture to see it bigger at flickr.

Pictures of a happy day

Dinner at my house

Yesterday we invited friends over for dinner and games. We ate pot roast and chicken and lots and lots of sugar. The boys played with toys, had an egg hunt, and battled one another with swords. The adults played Life and Carcassonne. All in all it was a wonderful day. We went to bed very tired. Luckily the boy has no school this week, so he was able to sleep in this morning. Pictures to follow.

Wings

Someone gave me wings (it's a Bookcrossing thing) for my birthday.

Thank you.
