About to flee...

Have wedding shower (I'm hosting one for a friend's daughter) related errands this morning.

Purchased a new (to us) Volvo yesterday, which generated dozens more errands. Oddly, I have a feeling this car is female, or at least androgynous. All my cars before have been male. I will keep you updated if my perception of Willow's gender changes. (I suspect that now I've slapped that name on her, her gender has been decided for her.)

From the horoscope wars:
Let your fantasy world spill out on to a piece of paper for others to see.
Right, I will, once I'm done with everything else.

Leaving for Conestoga Friday. Much work in between. Must get some agent queries out....soon.

The reason all your previous cars have been male is because they are Volvos.

But this one's a Volvo, too....I'll drive it to a con this weekend, and I'll have a better idea after that. ;o)

*giggle* I don't know what gender my car is but re-learning French I started picturing inanimate objects with well, you know. I'm at work or I'd be more specific.

My echo needs a new starter soon. it locked up with the steering wheel.
I'm looking at getting a Honda CRV. It fits my budg. and it looks fuel efficient.

Congrats on the new Volvo. Is it diesel? My neighbors converted a diesel to a bio-fuel car.

No, just an ordinary volvo ;o)

Good, reliable, safe cars though.

Exactly...

That's why it might be transgendered, rather than female....
Is the grill ornament securely in place?

Yes, but the engine is transversely mounted...
