It's a happy day in my world because I'm going to visit Trish at Maddison Avenue.

I'm home now from a day of running around. After my hair I came home and cleaned out my Edge. The lease is up and it was going back this week. I took it to Suds and to have it washed inside and out.

Their car wash makes pretty coloured soap.

It is so clean inside that I thought about keeping it.

Then I stopped at the dealership (Mohawk Ford on Upper James - I have been buying cars there for almost 30 years) to arrange picking up my new Edge. We decided on Thursday and then went to see the car. Something caught my eye from the showroom window. A red mustang convertible.

I called Beth and she came to see.

I didn't end up with the red mustang. This is what I ordered. Gotta Have it Green.

It's pretty close to an Edge.  :)

It should be here in 4-5 weeks. They will have the actual date by the end of the week. I want it now. Okay, not today because it is way too cold to drive with the top down but later this week when it gets warm out. I forgot how much I miss having a convertible.

Beth has promised to drive it weekly to make sure it gets it's exercise. My dad also said that he will take one for the team and drive it too.

Beth is rushing to get her cowl done so that she can start a hat this evening. I have been scrambling to find her a 5mm, 80cm-100cm circular needle so that she can magic loop. It is hard to believe but I don't have one. OK. I might have one but can't find it in the mess of needles. It might be her job on the weekend to put my needles in order. If she wants to use them it sounds like a fair trade off.

The second period is just starting so I need to sign off and pay attention.
