The Dodge Neon

In 2002, when I got back from Paris, my mom made me get rid of my 1995 Dodge Neon and gave me her 2000 Jeep. (I think it's funny that I've only owned Chrysler vehicles.) Lately I have been reminiscing about my little, black, two-door Neon, so sporty and yet so dorky. My best friend and I had fun times in Orlando cruising downtown listening to Montell Jordan's "This is How We Do It," over and over. (I could totally go for listening to that song right now...)

Anyway, I'd really love to find the original magazine ad for the car that I cut out and taped all over my bedroom. You know, the one with the front view of the car and it said, "Hi." Never did I think my parents would buy me the car for Christmas - but they did! It was a happy day, and I loved that car. Probably would still be driving it like a crazy person if I had it.

The Neon is no longer, apparently, according to this blog. It made me kind of sad - it's as if an era of my life ended and I didn't even know it.

Sleep, Death, Etc.

Oscar the Cat - you don't want him in your hospital room! Maybe this is why my cat wakes me up at 5:30am; he thinks I might be dead because I've stopped thrashing around the bed. Oh, that's about the aforementioned sleeping problem.

Lunch

I just wanted someone to see how amazing my lunch is. Heirloom tomato from Pennsylvania, whole grain baguette, and sinful Camenbert from upstate New York. Wow. Mmmmm.
