Introducing . . .

I love my cyber-friends! You are awesome! I got a Honda Civic Coupe, EXL. It really is a nice car - I'm getting used to it and adjusting to the little individual quirks. I haven't settled on a name yet - - - any ideas? It needs to be a name that isn't the same as any of my friends or family - and isn't too silly. When I named Chloe, I didn't know a soul with that name - although now I know of two people. Chloe is such a pretty name. Oh, sorry. I'm better now.

Ok. Short story. I'm trying to think of this as a funny memory for his/her baby book and not an "oh dear, off to a bad start" type of moment. This morning after I took this photo - I got back into the car (which was running) and apparently I upset the security system (not sure why!). It started beeping the horn at me. It stopped after about 5 beeps - so I put the car in reverse and backed out of the drive way - the horn went off again. I stopped and turned the car off, walked away and came back to see if it would "reset" (like re-booting the computer) and it was still mis-behaving. I called the Honda dealer (6:30 AM mind you!) and the service manager took my frantic call. "just bring it in - we'll fix it in 1 minute". So, I drove 21 miles to the dealer with the horn going off intermittently and you would not have believed the looks I got from people - - - I also had the freeway to myself - I think they were afraid of me! The last 5 miles I even had police escort! It was truly repaired in 1 minute (a ground wire had been attached to the horn rather than to ground). The service manager was appropriately apologetic and I started my day completely "frazzled"!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
