Need A Name ...

The Suburban is mine!  Drove it home from Ft Myers without incident.  The A/C doesn't work though.  Had it looked over today and they estimated $1600 to replace the parts and what not.  We're going to try and get the parts from a junk yard and get someone else to install.  My idea was Might Putty - you know the stuff Billy Mays is hawking on tv now?  As Seen on TV!  So anyway, I'm kinda bummed that it's so much to fix.

I don't like to refer to the new thing as The Suburban - too many syllables.  It's not a car or van - as in "Hey kids - go get in the _____!".  I don't want to refer to it as a truck, cause DH has an actual pick-up truck and that would be confusing. So .... my solution is - the Suburban needs a name.  I figure sooner or later something will come up that fits.  It won't be Bessie, George, John, Donna or Greg. If you have an idea throw it out there - I'd love to hear your ideas!

Wheels!?

I found a Suburban on eBay that seems to meet our needs, but it's in Ft Myers FL.  Trying to do this all long distance is VERY challenging!  My Mom is heading down that way tomorrow morning so I can ride down with her and drive it back.  I'm just waiting to hear from a friend who lives down there to give me a personal opinion before we go for it.  Decent miles, good price, seems like a reputable dealership.  Here's hoping!

More PayPal crap

I made a purchase with my PayPal debit card locally on Monday.  They somehow managed to overchage me by $72.  They noticed the oops before I did and did a refund immediately.  It still isn't back in my account.  Called PayPal and they said it could take 7-10 business days for the refund to be processed and they curently have no record of it.  I'm temporarily out over $70 and they're 'sorry'.  Oy .....

Last night I went to the Y, spent 25 minutes on a treadmill then switched to anothr machine that was by th fan cause it was HOT and I was sweating to death.  I had planned on just finishing my remaining 15 minutes (I aim for 40 minutes total cardio).  Then - in walks Mr McHottie!  Tall, dark hair, muscle-y ... was enough to keep me on the treadmill for 25 more minutes ... that was when he left lol  Made my night!
