Sorry to the UPS guy...

I'm hanging out at the parents house when I hear a knock at the door. I look out the front window and see the UPS truck idling at the curb. I don't see the delivery person walking back to the truck, so I get up to get the door, thinking I'll have to sign for delivery.

Open front door, UPS guy is halfway down the driveway, and a quick scan of the front porch reveals no familiar brown wrapped box.

I YELL from the porch, "DO YOU HAVE A PACKAGE?".

Can't.Belive.I.Just.Said.That.

He looked at me funny, and said it was just to my right. Oh, yeah, there it is. Slink back into the house in shame, mortification, and horror.

Favorite Find Friday : Car Care

How many of you have a dirty, dusty, grimy, gross car dash? We do.

OR DID.

Yesterday evening Mom and I were out running errands (aka going to Dairy Queen for PBP's). I had about 15 minutes to kill while waiting for Mom. So I sat and sang along with Sara Evans, watched people unload a moving truck...blah.

Then I remembered how dirty my windshield wipers were...as in useless. So, I opened my glove box and pulled out this little powerhouse:

Oh yes, I luv to clean my car. Travel size multi-surface wipes are my friends.

First I used a wipe to clean my windshield wipers (FRONT AND BACK! Saying it just like Ross). The wipe was pretty grimy, so I grabbed another one and attacked all dashboard surfaces. My car was dirrrrty.

Eww.

I also cleaned the rear view mirror and my side mirrors, because you can use them on glass & mirrors! See? Multi-surface. It's a beautiful thing.

I had a clean fresh car paired with new vanillaroma tree thingy.... I was proud of my accomplishment.

Mom got back in the car and I HAD to show her my hard work. Seriously, I turned on the overhead light and pointed out the grime on my used cleaning wipes. She was moved. I could tell.

AND...I could see out my windshield. It's nice to be safe driving at night while it's raining.

If only they made a wipe big enough for me to clean the OUTSIDE of my car.

But I'm not sure they would fit in my glove box.

On The Road Again....

Things I saw while driving today:

• A majestic eagle perched in a scraggly tree overlooking a glassy lake. I think it looked at me.
  
• Ok, I didn't SEE this, but I could SMELL the country...they were spreading again. Ahh, fertilizer.
  
• A big tractor that I thought wasn't going to stop in time for me...but it did.
• Many Canadian plates driving into the states to shop, because the US dollar is worth mud.
• A ranch-style house, run down and unkempt, with what had to be 14 cars in the front yard. Not sure if that is legal in our parts.
• A new car I've never seen before : A Nissan Rogue. Was curious where they got the name from. X-MEN? What would a Wolverine vehicle look like? Even worse, what about a Magneto car? That just wouldn't work at all. Talk about high insurance rates. Geico wouldn't be a lick of help.
  
• Yet another Starbucks invasion...which I wholeheartedly support. After all, my creamers are getting low.
• An empty car seat. Don't panic, all is good. MIL graciously offered some get out and go shopping time. Cranky attitude miraculously disappeared after "therapy".
