I've been really busy. I built a bunk bed last weekend. Then this weekend I went to the Cheesecake factory, the Childrens Museum and replaced the starter in the Corolla. That's the 3rd starter I've replaced in my life, it was also the most difficult. They really had to get creative with how to attach this part in such a cramped configuration. I had to use a mirror just to see if I had the socket over the head of one of the bolts. By 1:30 AM Sunday morning my back and legs were very sore, but the job was done. Yeah! Now that it's done, it seems like the engine still struggles a little to turn over... and the starter passed the test at Auto Zone, but the guy said it was still pretty weak and should probably be replaced anyway. So maybe the problem was with the 6 year old battery or the alternator. I just want the problem resolved before we go to Chicago later this month.

Nice!! I'm thinking I would have checked the battery first. Ding ding.
Maybe you could run to Chicago...
William just replaced my alternator. I don't think your car ever sounds or works the same every time a part has to be replaced. Did you have any left over bolts?
not this time
the bunk bed looks great!!!! =)
I am not dead either. At times I may smell that way, SumoGirl will attest to that.
What about Kristy? We haven't heard from her in a while. Is she still alive or did you bury her in the backyard?
