I'm a wuss

Running
3/10- nothing.
3/11- the nicest day in Chicago since Fall, and I spent the day (a) at a children's' museum (b) at Walker Brothers eating large quantities of breakfast food (c) running around trying to find fresh produce and a pasta maker- , successful on one of those only

3/12 - New, low. Wussed out of running. We went to an engagement party for the couple's wedding we are attending in Puerto Rico next week. When we got there, N was still asleep in his car seat. So, I sat in the car for 1.5 hours, with nothing to read and an ipod without the headphones.

3/13 - No running

3/14 - 5 miles on my inlaws treadmill. 45-ish minutes.

I feel like buying a new car when we really don't need a new car. My wife's car is 3 years old and mine is 2.5 years old. I think that GM may not be supporting my wife's car brand much longer. She won't get an SUV or minivan. She would consider a stationwagon (logic please?)

I have been considering trading my car in for something with better gas mileage. I commute 50 miles roundtrip each day and my car was not made for great gas mileage. It I will be paid off in December, and I would like to have some time with either 1 or no car payments.

Culinary:
Sunday, I made an awesome Marinara sauce with fresh zucchini, mushrooms, onions. I bought some fresh basil and Italian Parsley from here. It is an awesome little produce store with very fresh stuff. Small mom an pop place with a tremendous variety. The food tastes so much better when you use fresh ingredients. I used canned whole tomatoes, but in the summer, I'll use tomatoes from our garden.

I'm making the same thing for my father in law for dinner tonight(his birthday). We also bought him an Ipod Nano. I hope he likes and uses it.
