Little Honda

It isn't a little motorbike from the 60s, but it is exciting and fun.

Darn, I forgot about the chat. There was a CafePress chat Thursday night. I really did mean to attend. but I simply forgot.
At 7:00 (central time)/5:00 (pacific time), I was driving around in Portland, Tennessee, with my son Paul, in my newly acquired Honda Accord. Needless to say, I have been pretty excited .

First, when I got off work last night, I went to Nashville with Paul and a friend to see the 12:04 AM showing of "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith." I loved it.
We drove through Portland on our way home to see if the Accord I had taken on a test drive was still parked at the car lot.
So today I went to talk to my credit union about a loan for the car. *gulp*
Not only did the woman at the credit union arrange for me to get the loan, but she even talked to the car salesman and got him to lower the price. Wow -- talk about customer service and satisfaction!

So Paul drove me to Portland to pick up my car. It isn't brand new, but it's really nice. I love driving it. Paul said he thinks it's the nicest car I have ever owned.

Tomorrow I go to my insurance agent, then to the court clerk's office. Then I'll take the paperwork back to my credit union.
Then I go to work at my "other" job, as a parimutuels teller. I punch or key tickets (on a Tote machine) for Thoroughbred horse racing.
The Preakness is this Saturday, too. I have no idea what I'm going to wear. I have been too wrapped up in getting my car to think about that. I'll try to find something suitable while I'm in Bowling Green.

I wonder how Giacomo will do in the Preakness. It was purely luck that Polly and I had a win and show ticket on him in the Kentucky Derby. I so wish I'd had the superfecta (first 4 horses to finish). After all, we had the 10, 12, and 17 -- we just left out 18. How silly of us. :Þ

Well, I'd better get some sleep. Friday will be a long day.
I'm thinking of naming my car. Rhonda the Honda.
Help me, Honda, help, help me Honda....

Okay, time for bed.
