Wheels and Tunes

Cat got wheels. It's a white 2007 Colbalt LT for those interested in the specs. It has some pretty sweet features (power locks, power windows, and a cd player!). It has a light, cloth interior, so Cat won't roast if she gets in it after parking in the sun. Cat likes practical things, and this is a practical thing, so she likes it. She's named it Celeste.


She also got a little tune box for me. There's a place to plug it into her new car. It's a Sansa c250, so it's got 2gigs. It's not real fancy but it does everything that it needs to. I like it a lot. I'm afraid Sheepy wants to steal it. She finally came back into the room - she'd been sulking since Spud let her go. I think she wants to cause trouble. I think she wants to steal it, but I won't let her.


Cat has 4th graders this week at camp. Very exciting. Cat likes the age group, and it means she has to stay over. She has a new-to-core staffer who used to be a P.A. (Program Aid=teenage volunteer). She has to help her adjust to being core staff. Cat thinks it'll go okay because the staffer's pretty good. Cat's a little scared because suddenly all the older staff people left - even though they all had good reasons. Now she's one of the oldest, most experienced people on staff. As in there's her and two other girls her age or older. Cat's really good, she'll be fine, but right now she's freaking out.

Friday, she leaves camp early to go to Sean's wedding on Saturday. It's in St. Louis. I'm going, but Snibbly doesn't want to. I have to find a way to dress up. Cat's taking her car and my little tune box. And her "Learn Japanese in the Car" cds - St. Louis is a long way away and Cat needs to stay awake. Nothing like repeating "Toshokan wa, doko desu ka?" for hours to keep a person awake. We'll have plenty of practice asking for hotel rooms with single beds and showers by the time we're done with this trip.
