I’m here!<\/p>\n
I had a big fun post all ready to go but I think Mom’s computer isn’t exactly lightning fast and I think I crashed it trying to upload digital pictures of the dog. Oh, well.<\/p>\n
So, since I’ve been here: Got off the plane. Dad was waiting — he works at the airport so he always meets my planes. It’s nice to have someone waiting for me right at the plane. I didn’t rent a car and Dad had the only car with him, so he got me a ride…on a six passenger limousine. Oh, god. My father is so cute but it was totally mortifying driving up in my parents’ working class neighborhood in that huge thing. When I got home, Bill, Michelle, Mom and I went to the Chevrolet dealership to look at this: New car?<\/a> It’s nothing fancy but Mom gets discounts as a GM employee and will hopefully be able to use a special retiree voucher that my grandma gets (as the widow of a pensioned GM hourly employee).<\/p>\n Dinner last night was Applebee’s with just Mom and Dad. I really enjoy that time alone with my parents. I love spending time as a big family, but Bill gets alone time with them and it’s my turn, dammit.<\/p>\n Today we took Dad to work so I could use the car and then visited Grandma. She is 87 now and uses a cane, but I am so glad to see her everytime I come home. Now we’re back at mom and dad’s, waiting for the credit union to call back about the car loan. I wonder if it’s possible to co-sign for them? My credit is very good but my credit to real money ratio is not so hot. We’ll see.<\/p>\n I’ll write more later. I’m going to try to connect my camera so I can post a picture of Evil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m here!
