Car update...

So it looks like I am leaning toward the Prius. I don't like the futuristic look, but in black, it looks more sporty, less spacey. Took an Altima Hybrid for a test drive. Realized that looking at a car that big was doing what mom expects - safe car - not what I want. I want more than mid-30's MPG from a hybrid. The Camry and Altimas just don't do it for me. I figured since this is the second car I am buying with my own money, this time I will decide. Anyway, I am almost 36 and mom has to stop telling me what to do. It still bothers me that I bought my first car with my own money but she told me what I could and could not buy.

Re: Mini Cooper - the exterior is soooo nice. And I could get the Union Jack caps for the side view mirrors. But the more I look at the interior, the more I hate it. It is too gimmicky. But I will still take it for a test drive, just to drive it. Tee hee...

Garden is looking so lush. Veggies make me want to cry. Water them and nothing. At least the compost is looking nice and black so I will put that in the beds to hopefully help.

Got a Time Out guide to London. Half price at Borders with a coupon and sale. Woo hoo! This is so overwhelming. I just can't wait to go. I have to roll lots of film. I decided with the car purchase, the DSLR will have to wait. So that is less to pack. With the weather the way it is here, we'll probably have to take a side trip to Brighton to get real beach weather. Pathetic...

Have to sew the window clack out cloths to work in the darkroom. Also looking to nail the safelight to a beam so I don't have to balace it precariously on the foundation ledge. Also so that a mouse doesn't knock it down while scurrying through!
