Grace Windsor Wexler

The one thing that has been totally consuming the majority of my thoughts for the past 2 1/2 weeks and especially for the last few days is my new car, which I bought all of 6 days ago.

I named her Grace Windsor Wexler, after one of the characters in my favorite book when I was in middle school, The Westing Game. In the book, Grace Winsor Wexler is a mother of two who likes to make herself seem much more glamorous and exciting than she really is. Kind of like my car. Very shiny and nice smelling and new, but really not very fancy or exciting to anyone but me.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on my car. I LURRRV Gracie. I keep figuring out new things about her, like the fact that when I hook my iPod up to the stereo system, I can browse and everything RIGHT THERE  on my DASHBOARD. Whaaaaaat. I've also driven a full 100 miles now, and I haven't even used a quarter of a tank of gas. It's so great! Between the lack of interest on payments and how much I'm saving in gas, I do not regret buying a new car at all. I've just been so excited. I even changed my cover photo on Facebook to one of the two of us together. Super cute.

And here's a picture of the two of us together.

On a different note, I already have 3 parking tickets for this car. Someone needs to tell campus security to lay off. They won't let me apply for a parking permit because I don't have license plates, but they still think it's ok to give me tickets for not having a parking permit. It hurts Gracie's feelings.

Blue thought for the day: My blue BR dress is not appropriate for windy days. Not without shorts underneath it, anyway.
