My ex- starts his new job today with training in Orlando (I'm letting my emotions fester for a while before I talk about that), so he had our son for the weekend, then flew him back to Tallahassee for me to get Sunday night. Post-party pick-up mom.
Most of my life, people have told me to slow down when driving, but my son? Nagged the entire way because I was only going 80. He missed his car and could not possibly wait another minute for the reunion, even going so far as to tell me that he could claim youthful offender and his car insurance could cover it if I got a speeding ticket (which I pay, incidentally).
We arrived home (finally!), and he took his poor car with cat-prints on the hood out for a spin. Just like a neglected girlfriend, she paid him back for his weekend getaway, stranding him on the side of the road about ten minutes from our house.
My son, who knows next to nothing about cars, had the hood open, peering inside, as I pulled up.
"It sounds electronical, don't you think?"
Rule #1: if you know nothing about cars, make up words.

Your son has speed in his veins. You end up pushing those cars more than driving them, but aren't they pretty?
loves!

We know the truth, it was sabotage! Qindi and her crack team of cat-commandos set the "Bitchin Camaro" up to let sonny know he still needs his mom.
The best part would be Quindi in the cat costume. ;)
Hahahahahahahahaha!
This entry made my entire day!
Those damn kids, thinking they're so smart... you know, SMART.
Now I'm grumbling like an angry old woman about kids. That was NOT my original intent.
I'm off to read your post again. God, that was funny.
Word verification for today looks like something that kid on Fat Albert would say. You know, that one who put a "b" sound after every syllable of every word?
"yubsdb"
Yep, she's gotta keep him in line! lol
I love that no matter who the Male is, and how little he knows about cars, they ALL open the hood and stare inside, like the car will tell them what's wrong, or the instructions will magically appear, and of course be understood by them.
Electronical huh? It's probably the crankamerater, or maybe the carburminating...
Maybe he should date a girl who's Dad owns a Towing business?
BIG HUGS, Steph
Too Funny!
I like the new colors on your blog! I need you to work on my new blog. I am color confused and indecisive. LOL
:) Your blog always looks so pretty.

Candy: Yep, it's sitting at the shop now, waiting for some magic...
Darren: Mutiny is imminent - I had to yell at them again for killing a chipmunk. I might be donning a German Shepherd costume for intimidation soon... ;)
Kay: they're funniest when they're not even trying...just being the pre-men that they are is quite hilarious, huh?
Steph: HAHA! I told him it was a cracked manatee, but does he listen? (I LOVE your idea about a towing business...). :)
Michelle: I spent 2 hours, working on it, but had to change it all back. GRRRRRRRR!!!
All I can think of now is Doc from Back to the Future.
flux capacitor.
love the new decor - and especially loveLoveLOVE the new header
Okay that would be me actually trying to figure out what was wrong with it. I haven't driven my S10 in months since it almost left my ass stranded ... I now drive the Eldorado instead. I'm a fast driver too, but I don't trust Ken's driving as far as I can throw him. Can you believe I've actually done auto repair that warrants me to loose Princess Points because of it! I'm glad though I have a mechanic in the family!!! :)
I love the new flower header and colors of your blog.
Thanks for your sweet comment at my new blog. I would trade blogs with you any day!
P.S. Have you used Windows Live Writer? My boyfriend uses it and it is an easy way to add pictures and blog entries to blogger.

Your...pansies are purty.
I guess I have a long way to go, Booties is already telling me he wants to drive. Not sure how to respond to that one.
Hello Quindigo. I'm back.
Sarah: turns out it's the flux distributor ;)
Brenda: thank you!
Stephen: I keep thinking I should take one of those auto courses to learn some basics. I'm probably getting too old to stand on the side of the road, crying.
Michelle: Nope, I've never heard of it, but the word Windows in the title tends to scare me ;)
Kay: I'm purposefully misreading that to say "panties". Mwwwwaahhh!
Leah: two words - bumper cars. He'll love you forever.
Cherry: yes, but does baby got back? ;)
electronical??? ha!
would this be his bitchin' camaro?
funny
