God drives a Camaro

jennickelsA bright yellow Camaro with black racing stripes passed us on the highway today. The license plate read, "GOD." There was an old man with a white beard driving it. He turned at Washougal River Road (street leading into downtown).
True story.
Also, we finally got a third television. A 32" slim one. It's only 720p but it's much bigger than our old one (26"). Now the 26" is in the other living room for the kids to watch. Also got The Hunger Games so I guess we'll be watching that tonight. Only Patrick and Nora haven't seen it. Me and the older girls saw it in the theater and Owen watched it last night at his friend's house.
The block party yesterday was a blast. I got to meet a bunch of my neighbors including the parents of two of the kids friends. The guy that hosted it is part of a motorcycle club and they provided some of the food and showed off their bikes. He's a really nice guy and said he wants to make this a tradition. Another neighbor said she'd love to host her own summer BBQs next year. Maybe this will catch on.
I'm now about half way through season 1 of Angel. I think my favorite part of the show was the way Cordy pulled Angel into the "land of the living" so to speak. He's still all broody but he smiles a whole lot and I love how their friendship grew. Oh, and Wesley was such a spaz at the beginning. So completely from his badass self at the end.
Um, new SimCity game coming out next year. My husband saw it while watching youtube videos from E3. Looks really cool. And totally has me searching for my SimCity 4 game. Actually I'd been itching to play weeks ago after playing Sims 3. I've been playing SimCity/Sims games since the original SimCity came out on Super Nintendo (which I still have).
School starts two weeks from Tuesday. I'm counting down the days. Meagan will be in 7th, Owen in 5th, Brenna in 4th and Nora in 1st. Seems hard to believe.
Falling Skies season finale on right now... the seasons are way too short.
And lastly:
Today marks 12 years since my mother died. Seems like yesterday and still... it's been so long since I've seen her face, heard her voice, called to chat. I miss our Sunday gab fests. She would have been the best grandmother ever. But she never got the chance.
My mom, dad and me circa 1977.
