Well, the car is currently in the shop getting a new radiator. I got in there when they opened at 7 am. They said they'd be done around 11, which is when I need to leave for the potluck, I figure. Radiators are expensive! Though not as expensive as a transmission, I guess.

I'm getting my data together about who said they were coming to the potluck. I know of 14 people who are going to be there other than myself, Lynnette and anybody in her family who's going to be around. I'm putting their data in my Palm, and once I'm at the potluck and all dressed, I'm putting my Palm in the Hello Kitty purse that Kimmie gave me so I can keep it with me. I'm all ready to go, waiting for the garage to call and say they're done with my car.

I wound up buying the cups and utensils, as well as some cookies for dessert. I forgot to buy bug spray. I'll have to get some on the way out of town. It's not going to be as hot, so I'll be able to wear tights, and that might help some, but I'm sure there will still be plenty of bugs. I read in the newspaper that we now have Asian tiger mosquitos in Indiana; I've seen these and thought they looked different but didn't know what they were. Seems they're not particularly known for carrying any diseases, though of course they can.

Dave from California, I'm going to be using the baby bottle nipple adapters you gave me, and I thank you again. I wish I knew your email address. Email me if you read this please! A 2-liter bottle of Diet Pepsi Vanilla and one of those adapters, topped with my favorite bottle nipple, should make a great caffeine delivery system for the trip to Muncie and back. And yes, I'm wearing my diapers. And I'm putting the seat pad down in the car in case I leak. I shouldn't, though, with an AbriForm X-Plus, a Kins trainer and Comco plastic panties.

Anyway, I'm going to have to leave the potluck around 6 so I can get back and meet MsLissa, silverleaf, malabar, darius and whoever else winds up being there. They're from a great IRC channel that really helps people. Sometimes some of them get together now and then, but not often here in my town.

Well I just know I have other things I have to get done before I go. Take care everybody!
