We ate at the Contented Cow, but we were wishing we were in the mood for that Waffle place. We will have to go back in a waffle mood. <BR/><BR/>We tried to grab some ice cream at the fudge ice cream place on the way out of town, but that was closed too, at like 6pm. don't people go and get ice cream after dinner on Saturday's there? <BR/><BR/>The worst business schedule ever was when I was in West Des Moines, Iowa and the Subway Sandwich shop closed at 7pm on a Friday.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904564712432173588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-25187710357819773732008-04-06T12:40:00.000-07:002008-04-06T12:40:00.000-07:00Missy - nope that wasn't me.

Maybe you could duct tape a boom box to the dashboard for some tunes?<BR/><BR/>My husband and I took a little day trip to Northfield yesterday, I was watching for you. I thought I saw you in a store that sells fancy craft supplies, "Dabble"? <BR/><BR/>We wanted to get our oil changed while we took in downtown, but apparently all the car repair places there are either closed Saturday or close by noon.

Otherwise look it up on line. You kind of need your dashboard lights. Meatloaf once saw paradise by them. (Ick.)<BR/><BR/>Which 14 year old??? Two words: car aerial. And as I've said before you don't actually need to beat them with it. You just have to be seen by them ripping it off the van with your bare hands.

I find our lives in direct contrast to those oh-so-sickeningly-lovely and innocent March sisters. I'll bet none of them ever had to deal with duct tape fixes to life. <BR/><BR/>Your van troubles MIGHT be fixable with a fuse change. Look up under your dash for the fuse box and see if one is down. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with Chairman Mao. If the rest of the cat gang starts carrying little red books, be careful! You may end up with the Gang of Four!Cheesecake Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051198916826044812noreply@blogger.com
