Either a Starbucks or iTunes gift card. For doing nothing. What could be better? Free lattes! Or for that matter, free tunes! So come check out my comments, ok?

For doing nothing. What could be better?

Free lattes! Or for that matter, free tunes!

I made those up a few years ago a couple of weeks before Christmas. You take your basic oatmeal/chocolate chip cookie recipe (oatmeal so they're "healthy" dontcha know?) chop up all the leftover Halloween candy you've got in the house and dump that in instead of the chocolate chips and nuts, and you're good to go.

My 16-year-old (and proudly-driven!) station wagon pre-dates the obviously stellar invention of cars in which one cannot possibly lock ones keys. Would that I'd had one of those the day I slammed shut the door (with both sleeping infant and keys already inside) of my other car a good few years ago. And a sound system with something other than a tape deck on which I have taped (no less-repetitive way to put that) shut the access thingy so as to remove any possibility of "Walk Like an Egyptian" beginning to repeat and repeat and repeat off the mix-tape my son made when he was in junior high?

(Luckily, it wasn't raining.) ALSO, I need my keys to lock the door, so locking them inside isn't really an option. (Thank God. Can you imagine me trying to scream "BYOOP! BYOOP!" at different frequencies in the parking lot to try to release the lock? ALSO, I have a thing against kids eating Milk Duds. Something about presenting their teeth to the dentist embedded inside chewed up Milk Duds. Yikes. (AND, the cookies? I've never heard of those!) (Obviously, I offer up my apologies for sticking that song in your head. Here's hoping it's gone by now. Quick! Rockin' around the Christmas tree!) Susanwolfe--Yeah, but what if the Salvation Army guy had taken my license plate number and reported me for littering? That would be a $500 pumpkin head! Deb--I would LOVE to hunt down the Salvation Army guy for that very reason. In fact, I just bought a kit to make pumpkin monkey bread (??) (!!!), which would be the perfect gift for him.

Of course you wanted to keep your trophy. But next year, it would be cool to hunt for and find that very Salvation Army man, and give him the pumpkin. Maybe full of pennies from the car. Or not. Whatever. The point is the pumpkin and the man. I'm staying tuned to see where this one lands! Because this post feels like foreshadowing to me. Best Christmas story ever.

Seriously. If its been in your car for 2 months, the kids aren't going to miss it. If they ask about it, "I don't know where that old thing is, but look, a deer!" always works for me.

Perfect match of messiness. I have five pairs of shoes in the backseat- just in case. Instead of walking them the ten feet from my parking spot then into the house. I leave them there and forget I own them. (While cleaning out my trunk to fit junk inside the day of my wedding, I found my bathing suit, my peacoat and one of Tom's shoes) I think we need to create a craft project for those receipts. Everytime I look at my floorboard I am reminded that I eat out WAYY to often. Your car should meet my car and go on a date together. Perfect match of messiness.
