Sallie Mae.

Jun 06, 2004 19:16

I just got a new car. Well, new to me. I love it. It was Erika's grandmothers and it is amazing how much she took care of it. It is sort of inspiring. It makes me want to keep everything I have until it falls apart just because that is what we are supposed to do anyway. I often wonder why things aren't made to last anymore. You would think with all the environmental problems and all the trash piling up in landfills it would hip to take care of things and make them last. But, that doesn't seem to work with our capitilastic culture. The name of the car is Sallie Mae. I just hope she is as good to me as she was to her old mommy.

In other news, I went to see my mother. She is doing well and was super excited about my car. Sometimes, it is nice to have people feel good for you. There is something to be said for goodwill.

As I was driving home from Mothers, it started raining really hard. On my old car the windshield wipers had stopped working. You never know how important those things are until they don't work anymore. When I turned them on in my new car and they worked it was the best feeling in the world. It is amazing how much we take the small things for granted.

I need to finish cleaning my house and doing the laundry. Hope everyone had a good weekend.
