Hi Everyone,

I got up at 8 AM today and lived the life of a real human being. My Toyota acclerator is fixed, unless, of course, I am unhappy with the repair and then I can take it back and get a whole brand new pedal instead of just this fix-it job they did today. The pedals are available April 1st. Hmmm, don't I have the knack?

Sat in the car at Target for an hour clipping coupons. But it was well worth it as I found a Target coupon and a Crest coupon, each for $10. That means I saved $20 on the latest and greatest Crest Whitestrips, remember them? 3-D Whitestrips. Oh dear, hope they don't turn my teeth iceberg white, I just can't stand overly white teeth. You know who has them? Most everybody. I had a picture on my fridge of a family member, but it had to come down as it blinded me every time I needed something cold. You know who else? Apollo Ohno, remember him? The short track speed skating star?, yeah, his teeth match the ice on the rink. No, wait, they are way whiter.

Mike can use the 3-D.

Okay, I discovered a new Monkey page (for our same dear little monkey). It's called Mistary Monk-Kay. Check it out on Facebook. The profile of the monkey is too funny. One of his favorite quotes, "I fling poo." Sorry, that just cracked me up. At least we are talking about a monkey so it's not THAT vulgar. Also, his favorite book is Curious George (and movie).

I didn't go looking for this new monkey stuff, he liked a comment I had posted, how I was fortunate enough to know a lady who stood under a palm tree while the monkey shook, rattled and rolled palm fronds above her.

Okay, my other big news is I saw a tether ball on my walk tonight. It was actually tethered. I used to LOVE playing tether ball with all the neighbor kids when I was growing up. I also loved the Witch's Hat at school. You ever hear of the Witch's Hat?

In order to keep to my new 10 PM bedtime, I must bid you adieu. If I can't make two nights in a row that would be more than sad (last night was 10:15). My Pep drink kept me peppy for 8 hours.

My niece and nephew are in town, surprise, surprise.

Panicky to get to bed KEM
