Feb. 19, 2013: Kia Sedona LX (& Car List)
Today, we bought a car, a 2008 Kia Sedona LX. As we always have before, we paid for it outright and don’t owe anything on it. Some photos: (Copyright © 2013 by Wil C. Fry. All rights reserved.)

(Note the title is just today’s date. If a personal web log, or “blog”, is supposed to be the online version of a journal or diary, then I don’t see the need for titles. I just came to this realization recently, and writing titles is the hardest part of blogging for me.) Rebecca is doing[...]
Random Notes
Random notes from the past few days: I replaced two tires on my car (both rear tires have been in place since we purchased the Mercury in 2007). One had developed a slow leak, and the tread was wearing thin on both of them. My wife is still trying to get back into the habit[...]
Three-Day Trip
My wife and I arrived safely home this evening after a quick three-day trip to Oklahoma. We left early on Friday morning, as soon as her all-night shift ended. After working a 10-hour overnight shift, my wife bravely and skillfully drove her Buick for six hours, while I followed in the Dodge. We arrived there[...]
Valentine’s Day
As mentioned in my last post, my wife got a couple of V-day presents early. But we still celebrated on the actual 14th of February. In the afternoon, we saw the movie “Valentine’s Day” (see my review), and then waited in line 70 minutes for a table at Red Lobster. They’d said it would be[...]
GS or LS?
Since we bought my 2000 Mercury Sable in 2007, we’ve thought it was the Sable GS, mainly because the nameplate on the rear of the car (seen here) says “Sable GS.” The title to the car isn’t any help; it doesn’t even say “Sable.” The title says it’s a “MERC SLP” — whatever that is.[...]
Full Day
As you know from my last entry, we got our Mercury back, albeit with some problems. The battery was replaced yesterday (before we could even get it home). Today, we took care of most of the rest. I’m a slow waker, so my wife went grocery shopping in the Buick while I drank coffee and[...]
A Week of Hearty Eating
First of all, my thoughts & prayers are with my Oklahoma friends/family who’ve lost power this evening. I know my sister’s electricity went off during the ice storm about 5 p.m., and so I assume my parents’ and grandparents’ are out as well (same grid). I can’t wait to hear that you’ve made it safely[...]
2003 Dodge Neon SE
Sorry I haven’t blogged in a few days. The main thing you need to know about the past few days is that we bought a car. Yesterday, we paid cash for a 2003 Dodge Neon SE with 42,800 miles. (Compared to dozens of others we’ve found for sale, we got a very good price.) It’s[...]

After a cooler than average spring, yesterday was the hottest day of the year (high: 92°F) until today’s record high of 96°F. Had a pretty good day with Rebecca (scroll down for photos).

Rebecca did well with potty again today — still working on #2. After an early, short, and surprising nap (she put herself down at 11:50 for just an hour), much of the afternoon was full of fussing and craziness. I got a new debit card today, to replace the old one that was cracking and[...]

- May 14: Ikea & 34 Weeks by Wil C. Fry
A few days ago, we passed what I’ve jokingly called “the Rebecca threshold” with our Benjamin pregnancy. She was born about 7 weeks before her due date. As of May 10, we passed that point in the current pregnancy. My wife’s at 34 weeks as of today, and about nine pounds lighter than she was[...]

- May 12, 2013: Dry All Day by Wil C. Fry
Rebecca woke with a dry diaper this morning and kept her panties dry all day, using her potty correctly all day. We spent the day shifting from (1) us asking if she needed to go to (2) her telling us when she needed to go. And, after three days of holding it, she went #2[...]

Rebecca kept her diaper dry all morning, while MF was at work, and then wore panties the rest of the day, keeping them dry too. She even surprised us by staying dry during a supper trip to Dairy Queen (she had requested an ice cream cone). We put a diaper on her for the trip[...]

Big Milestone: Rebecca is now Three Feet Tall. Not quite tall enough for the WNBA, but on her way. She also crossed the 27-pound threshold for the first time (that we know of; we haven’t weighed her in a while). She’s 2.58 years (31 months) old. Compared to me: My mother didn’t record my height[...]

I woke up early today (because I went to bed on time last night?) and thought that would give me a little more time before RLF awoke. No — her new waking cycle is somehow tied to mine. Perhaps she hears the coffee-maker — I think I’m otherwise very quiet when I get up. She[...]
