general update (and more pants)

I was going to make some kind of mopey, dejected self-pitying post earlier this week, but I didn't have a chance, and now I've forgotten. So you all win.

I'm having a lot of people over for Easter dinner, like I did two years ago, and once again I'm making chicken cordon bleu. This time I'm going to prepare it ahead of time, so that's what I'm doing later this afternoon with help from my friend Pam. While I'm waiting for her to arrive, I'm making my quick post for the week here. I feel kind of lame about it because I don't have anything in particular to say but I have to make a post to meet my weekly quota.

Let's see... my car nearly overheated again last night. Fortunately I noticed in time: I had the blower on low because it was rainy and I needed to keep the window from fogging, and I realized that although I'd been driving for about 15 minutes it was still blowing cold air. Putting the blower to high seemed to engage the fan properly, or something, because the engine temperature did go back down and after a few minutes I started getting hot air. Between that and the fact that my car's been reluctant to start all this week, chugging in a very low rev for a minute or two before kicking into high warming-up rev, I need to call the garage again and have them figure out what's up. Hope it's not a lot of more expensive work.

I need to buy new blue jeans, the ones I have are getting ragged at the cuffs and holes have started forming at the knees. The black jeans aren't quite as worn out, but that's because I didn't wear them as much last summer. And that leads into the fact that I still want to get some pants to wear during the summer besides my blue jeans that aren't black, aren't (tan) khakis, and aren't too dressy-looking.

Not a very exciting entry, but that's about all I have at the moment...
