Just found out my car needs new brakes. So this morning, I had to drive Husband's Devil-bug to work. Big Kidlet calls it her Ladybug. Thing is louder than all get-out and it feels like you're sitting on the ground. I love that Husband loves it, but I don't. So yeah. I call it the Devil-bug. Visual aid to help you understand:
Anyway, instead of focusing on the $$$ it's gonna cost to take care of my car, I thought I'd highlight the bright side of my past week (and a half) or so.
The lovely Mary Campbell over at Writer's Butt Does Not Apply to Me gave me the Circle of Friends Awards. I'm not really sure how this works, so I will just dip my head, curtsy and say, thank you much, Mary! I'm so glad we've met. I love meeting people who don't think I'm crazy. Lol!
Also, Elana Johnson gave me the Happy 101 Award. So even though I started this post not so happy, we're going to end on a happy note: with 10 things that make me happy.
- My family
- Good books
- Mrs. Field's Peanut Butter Nibblers
- The smell of the inside of a bookstore
- Pandora
- Days off from day job
- Sushi dinners (the good kind you go out for, not the pre-made tray from Wal-mart)
- Finishing (a book, a first draft, revisions, a kick-A query, the dishes, the laundry ... etc)
- My kidlets' laughs
- Cupcakes
Tried to keep it brief. Not sure if it worked. Ahh, well, I'll try again next week.
Happy Friday everyone! Have a great weekend!

I thought you were pretty brief. Hope your car gets fixed soon and you get a safe distance from the devil bug!
Happy weekend!
Brief enough. I wouldn't worry about the brief thing too much. :) Like you said yesterday (only in my words because I can't remember exactly how you said it), sometimes to get everything in, depending on content, short posts aren't practical. Though I wouldn't consider this post long anyway.
Brief enough. Don't stress too much about that. You'll know when you're running long.
Have a great weekend.
I loved your list of what makes you happy. Sorry about the car. I'm having car trouble too. :( Hope you have a great weekend.
LT - I shouldn't be so mean about the bug, but I think it smells funny too.
Stephanie - Thanks!
Nisa - I decided it was the pics that made this post long :D But I'm too visual a person to go too many posts without pictures.
Dominique - thanks for the reassurance!
Angie - So sorry for you! Car trouble stinks! Hope yours gets better too!
LOl about the devil-bug. We had a car that looked just like that a while back. At least it's red right? All women look great in red.
It's my DH's B-day. We went out for $u$hi with the whole fam, including in-laws and out-laws. Which reminds me of a joke. What's the difference between in-laws and outlaws? Outlaws are wanted.
Happy early Valentines day!!
