Since I was blogless at the time, you haven’t read about how my beloved loaded the Jeep onto a trailer barely able to support its weight and ferried it to Haney’s in Libertyville one fine day.
I’ve been without a vehicle for two weeks, but I got the Jeep back today, with the hole in the tire patched and a new thermostat! And do ya know what it cost? Thirty-six bucks, my people! THIRTY SIX BUCKS!
We celebrated the Jeep’s return to the family with a lovely cocktail at the Dew Drop. I left after one since I was driving, and I had to negotiate the sheet of ice we call a driveway in 4WD, but I have wheels again! Hooray!
We had nuked left-overs for dinner. Lasagne, a steak for Brett, and a Caesar salad I whipped up. There are few things in the world finer than half a lasagne in the fridge.
I have wheels! Yay!

[…] Ten cute things about my beloved: 1. If he hasn’t seen me in more than, say, twenty minutes, he greets me by yelling, “Mmmmmushlette!” 2. He almost always helps me put the groceries away. 3. He likes to cuddle. 4. I get more fantastic, awesome foreplay in a month than all the rest of you bitches get in a year. (Smirk.) 5. He fixes my car. (Sometimes.) 6. He giggles. Is there anything cuter than a grown man who giggles? 7. He often hands me his entire paycheck in cash. It’s nice to be trusted, innit? (Of course, he usually asks for a bunch of it back later, but that’s another post.) 8. His predictions about human behavior are so right on as to make me suspect he’s psychic. If he claims to dislike someone, they invariably do something indescribably horrid within the year. 9. He lets me hang out with ex-boyfriends and/or stay out all night, and he never gets jealous or bossy or weird. (In other words, his trust is complete.) 10. He’s covered in freckles. I adore freckles, since I don’t have any. […]
