Lady Sheherazahde's Journal

My cousin Christina and aunt Susan were in town so my parents brought them up to see me. We went to the Farmer's Market for lunch. I talked them into the Cambodian stand. I had not tried the steamed buns before, they were nice.

After lunch we went to some wineries: Sheldrake Point, Lucas, and Bellwether Hard Cider. I tried a flight at Sheldrake Point and Bellwether but Lucas was too crowded. I was surprised I like the hard ciders, I'm not much of a hard cider person. But I do enjoy taste tests so I had fun.

Aunt Susan had a TomTom that we used that to navigate. Christina said it's name was Ann, she has a pleasant female voice. I have never been in a car with a TomTom before, she was fun, especially when we didn't do what she told us to do. By the end of the visit dad was arguing with her. She doesn't argue back though. Aunt Susan was saying they should make them with more Real People Personality, and it should talk more on long trips. When you have been driving for a while without it saying anything it can be quite a shock when it starts talking again.

I have my dad's car now. It looks just like my old car: white, Olds Cutlass. But the driver's side passenger door leaks. They want me to switch it with the door on my car before I get rid of it. I wish I knew more about cars I could keep the old one and use it for parts.

Spent some time at the Farmer's Market today. Ben and Sarah were supposed to meet me but they overslept so I spent an hour sitting at the main entrance waiting. I used the time to hawk some raffle tickets for a table of small children that were siting there too. Then my old friend Miriam wandered by with her Ball Python. She let me hold it and I started teaching passers by about Ball Pythons. I need a job (preferably one where I work with people).

For lunch I had mango chicken salad and fried plantains from the Cambodian vendor. Then I met up with my parents and my mom gave me some shirts for work and salad spinner to help dry my swim suit.

For dinner I made Tuscan Bean and Tuna Sandwiches

In other news: I thought I was going to have to buy a new bottle of Stevia extract (at $10 a bottle), but I found my old bottle. Now I can stop poisoning myself with huge quantities of Splenda.
