Forlori rolled past 100,000 miles this weekend on our road trip. I knew it was coming up but I missed the moment. I didn't catch it til she was at 100,009, and I made the announcement to Poppa and Jamers that she had rolled. It is amazing to me, although it shouldn't be with a Toyota, that she runs as well and trouble free as she does. I've only had her for about 6 years (60,000 miles) but she has never had any major problems for me. As long as I keep her tuned up and stay up on her maintenance, I'm sure she'll be around for years and years to come, assuming of course so will gasoline. After filling her up on Sunday afternoon, Jamers calculated out that she still gets 34+ miles to the gallon. Now that was most road trip and her normal is between 30*31 mpg, but still pretty fricken awesome for a car that has been on the road for 9 years. Have I mentioned how much I love my car?

Exploder no workies right now oddly enough. Jamers and my pop have narrowed it to the fuel system and probably the fuel pump. Now we must have Justice towed in and worked on and in these times with our financial state it is a little irritating. However I want to get her fixed as Forlori is becoming more and more cramped for me and Xander.

I have a foot bath again W00ty W00 Batman! Jamers bought a rubber stopper at the hardware store (at Pop's suggestion) at viola! My foot bath is water tight and I can plop my achy little feet in for a nice warm massage. Of course as Brookstone couldn't er, wouldn't supply me with a replacement part even though I was willing to pay for it, means I won't be buying any of their goods again. Their items are not cheap and the poor customer service I received spoke volumes about the way they do business. Although I wouldn't trade my foot bath for the wide world and I certainly would buy it again given a do over. It is almost impossible to find a foot bath that heats the water (not "maintains" the heat).

I had other things I wanted to post but I can't remember. The night grows older and my mind grows weaker. Just waiting for the man to finish up dinner so we can eat and I can climb into the nice warm bed.

Oh, and I love my Jamers. Tonight I was looking at him and I just couldn't stop myself from kissing his sweet face.
