sunday sunday

ah, another day of icy shanty fun.

apparently, mercury is in retrograde. things are supposed to go wrong, and boy, are they.

marlaine is still really sick.
my car crapped out on me on the drive back to shantyville yesterday- smoke was pouring from the engine, all the dummy lights were blinking, power steering was gone. i sat near the ice and made a phone call. mary (lizardacres.com) from arizona said she'd keep an eye on our shanty and lock it up at the end of the day. (thanks mary!) i turned around and headed back to mpls. i made it to my mechanics parking lot, and the car died 10 feet from a parking spot. so, i had to push it the last 10 feet and bundle up and walk the two miles home. i was laughing hysterically.

today, thankfully, kindra (kindraishere.blogspot.com), armed with layers of clothing, the shanty's combo and instructions on how to turn on the heater, went to our shanty and set up shop. (thanks kindra!) the big sniffing buffalo hubby of mine drove the soup out to the ice, and will return to close up shop. i wonder if there will be any people out there to eat the soup?

whew.
