and the winner is...

The overwhelming majority of votes were cast for "Iris," so Iris it is! I think it fits well with her pretty purple cover. Yay!

Verizon sent me an email today telling me I could rent a movie for just $2.99, so I went to their website to see if anything looked good. I got a pop-up message telling me my first rental is free, so I think that's what I'll do tonight. Maybe I'll finally watch Dark Shadows now that I don't have to pay for it.

I'm hoping a friend will be able to take me car shopping this weekend. This being carless really stinks. Somehow I have to get laundry done, too. That can't wait another week. Well, it can, but by then it will be more than two loads, and I only have two laundry baskets. Friends I was hoping could help me out are out of town this weekend. Phooey. We don't have public transportation this far out of Boston and Worcester, and I don't fancy paying for a cab to do laundry.

I'm really glad it's finally the weekend, and a long one to boot. Since I can't really go anywhere, I'll have plenty of time to get to know Iris better. I'm so happy to have her! It's nice when things go right for a change.

I completely empathize with your lack of a car :/. When tranari and I found ourselves relying on cabs and the kindness of friends, it made for two very unhappy injured folks! I cannot wait until I can drive again. I will be stewing in envy for the entire time we are cruising cross-country. It sounds silly, but it's true.

Let me know how Dark Shadows is!

I ended up watching Brave instead, because when I went to the On Demand section, that jumped out at me. I had been wanting to see it. Gorgeous animation, and a cool story!
