Not soon enough for me.

After spending about 6 hours traveling to, waiting for, and being on GO Buses on what was the longest but shortest long weekend I've ever had, I cannot wait until we get our taxes back so we can finally. buy. our. car. already.

We test drove the Honda Fit in Georgetown this weekend (where we were cat sitting the boy's mom's cats. My cats stayed at home... they're self-sufficient), and it was great! Small, comfy yet roomy, peppy and good on gas, we're about 99% certain that we'll be getting the Fit within the next month or so.

Not only was the weekend stupid with buses - traveling from Toronto to Georgetown to Bramalea and back to Toronto, about 126 kms in total - but it was really bad for eating as well. We ate no raw vegetables and ate way too much bread - lasagna, pie, toast, pizza, stir-fry with rice noodles and peanut sauce, more pie, ice cream (vegan for me), even more pie, tortilla chips, salsa, hummus, pita (mom: the pita, chips, salsa and hummus were tasty as heck. thanks!) and more lasagna. And wine and rye & diet pepsi. No salads, very little water, no flax/salba for 3 days. And my body can feel it. As I said to Carla today, last night I was "a lump of grump on the couch" and I blame the lack of fresh vegetables and water. Um, and my period.

So far, my food log for today is almost identical to Friday's.
