She knows...

I began the day elated...we went and looked at cars yesterday and asked for some online quotes. Since no one in their right mind wants a minivan, it seems there are some good deals to be had on large boxes of metal that are only desirable to women with juice box drinking, sports playing, gigantic backpack dragging offspring.

And I want one.

But, I feel a little guilty. I think the minivan knows that we're getting ready to give her the 'ole heave ho. While we were looking at vehicles, we parked the minivan off to the side so she couldn't see what we were doing. As exciting as it was to look at new vehicles, I did feel bad about the old girl...

Until it rained today. Apparently, the space shuttle knows that her days are numbered. Now, most of you know that the driver's window only goes up 1" every few hours, so I need three days notice before it rains so that I can get the window up in time. But, the piece de resistence was that the windshield wipers just stopped working today...nada, nothing. Which is a bummer when it's raining outside!

I could be embarassed, but since I was driving around with my window down in the light rain, I've already been embarassed and so, a little more embarassment - well, that's just another day in my life. Sigh.
