So I wanted to name her Maggie, but the kids didn't like it. We brainstormed and Victoria came up with "Black Aggie". She's named after my favorite childhood ghost story. You can read all about it here. Hopefully she doesn't end up giving me too much grief! (Steve's joke, not mine) Considering her shiny black exterior and that the Honda website describes the new Odyssey as "Aggressively Designed", I think "Black Aggie" is an awesome name.
Things I loathe
- Waking up late and having to take a cold shower due to poor shower scheduling
- Messy kitchens
- Homework time after school
- Laundry
- Reading Treasure Island outloud for hours (and summarizing) because of inadequate teaching
- People who talk the talk, but don't walk the walk
- Spending 5 1/2 hours of my Saturday in a car dealership
Things I love
- A husband that keeps himself in shape for me
- Breakfast and coffee with friends
- My new shiny black minivan (I got to pick this one out all by myself!)
- Naming my new shiny black minivan (Victoria gave it the best name a minivan has ever had)
- 87% dark chocolate
- Breakfast by the pound at McKay's, a small local grocery store (french toast and scrapple for $.84, mmmmm)
- My special mix CD Steve made, each song handpicked for me
- Handwritten notes
- Egg salad sandwiches
- Clean kitchens
- Seeing my teenagers studying together for an upcoming test
- Driving with the moonroof open and my windows down
- Baseball caps and ponytails when you don't have time to do your hair
- Baby bunnies and baby cockatiels (not mine, but I got to look at them)
- Reading funny cards and laughing with Victoria
- Kids that not only can behave in a restaurant, but in a car dealership for 5 1/2 hours (Seriously, they deserve an award.)
