Tonight, after Dave dropped Jamie off at the airport (he was in to visit us this weekend), Dave immediately took us away to the car dealership. After some mild negotiating (not great, but good), which included leaving the dealership once and having the salesman come after us. It's great to know the quick techniques for getting a car price down. It was pretty quick and painless.
The silly people at the dealership were in too much of a hurry to take Dave's car on a test drive, so they gave us literally twice what it was worth. Haha, stupid people thinking just because you can turn a car on that it runs well. They'll see what happens when someone tries to drive it off the lot and can't get it out of second. Hahaha. In trade though, because we were leasing I didn't bargain on the car price as hard as I would have if we were buying it. But oh well.
Dave is now happily ensconced in his new fancy car. Go over to his site where we should have pictures up in a few days. Yay new car!

Damn heat. Every week a new thing rots in the house. First it was fruit in the trash that leaked onto the floor. This week it was meat. Rotting fruit is a kinda nice smell; it actually reminded me of the mango grove near my uncle's old house in Hawai'i. But rotting meat is simply horrible. I had to hold my breath walking past the trash this morning while getting ready for work. However, with some good cleaning, the smell is now gone. We're setting up rules so that it doesn't happen again. Ew.
Work had been busy and vaguely stressful. There's this feeling of the further along we get, the more work there is to catch up. But we'll get there.

My mom created a top ten list of our fourth of July. I thought it was pretty good, so I'm posting the e-mail from my mom:
Here's the Top Ten Highlights of the 4th
10. Camille breezing in for the parade with a Vodka smoothie and a 10 minute visit before she's off to the next function.
9. Brian waving & riding a lap in the parade with the Schwinn cruisers.
8. Kathy Banks' funny horror stories about the boys, "While you were saving for college, I was saving for bail" etc.
7. Emma saw Bugs Bunny.
6. The heat lovers, Dave & Aaron, crispy lobster red sunburnt by days end.
5. The afternoon pass out. 4 men and 2 women.
4. Patrick & John always showed up just when food was being served up. Otherwise we didn't see them all day.
3. The Total Pig Out, including a beer run before dinner.
2. Stephen not knowing he was coming or going. He literally got dressed in the car and left putting down his Bocce balls.
1. Everyone knew the melody for the fireworks finale, unfortunately no one was in unison.
It was a great day!

I realize that I'm like a month late, but I'm becoming a friendster junkie. There's something that's both soothing and entertaining in going from friend to friend to friend, watching how everyone is hooked together in one big circle. I also like looking at the pictures people put up, from high school prom to michael jackson in drag.
