Barnes & Noble.
24 hour stores (heck, anything open past 7:00 pm is a treat to me!)
Drive-thru mexican food.
ColdStone.
Greek food. (I'm in love with hummus these days. I know. Who knew that ground chickpeas could be so good?)
And a slew of other things. Seeing freaky cars on the freeway whilst stuck in traffic among them. Yesterday was the first time I ever saw a Smart car. I was driving along, happy as a clam, singing at the top of my lungs (yeah, I'm one of those people... the ones who head bang with their mouth wide open, singing a happy song during the rush hour drive), and I look over to my right and do a literal double take. There was half a car driving next to me. Literally, half a car. Like, the car was cut off behind the back seat and then rear wheels were just mounted to the back of the seats. Oh my, holy weirdest thing I've seen in such a long time... so I'm passing it on. Have you guys seen these things? They're so tiny... Weird.

I HAVE seen them! Only when I saw them I didn't know anything about them. It was 8 years ago!
Cute blog and thanks for letting me know about it!
We saw one the other day when we were driving around town....seriously wouldn't want to be in one in a wreck! I wonder what the associated mortality rate is with those cars!
Reminds me of that movie with Ashton Kutcher...is it called Just Married?
So while on my mission, I saw a Smart Car factory in Luxembourg and it's the coolest thing I've ever seen. The factory is a bunch of levels going up and all the cars are on the levels. Since most of them have the same features, you pick the car and color from a turnstile and then when you decide which car you want, it goes to the middle and then goes down to the main level and then out--like a vending machine!
I love living here because I there is always something to do, somewhere to go. I didn't know about you and greek food, there was a greek festival at Tempe Beach Park last saturday... They had everything from Souvlaki to fried cheese! Emily, You and I need to get out and go greek some night!
About the smart car: we have been debating over whether or not we should buy one of those or a Prius... Curt needs a new car and hopefully we can decide soon. I think they are cute, but no more than a glorified golf cart and with the way Curt drives, he needs something that can't go every fast.
Someone has one of those Smart Cars that parks in our parking garage. Several of us decided to take a closer inspection. Surprisingly, it is not tiny in the front, it's just like the back got whacked off. But those are some weird looking vehicles.
Also good to know they come out vending machine style. Wonder what else those Eurpeans turn out in a like manner?
