I (heart) Les Schwab

I’ve had a slow leak in my left rear tire for about a month. How do I know? Because my super-smart car tells me when the pressure gets too low. (Okay, I just found out that most new cars now have this feature, but I still think my car is smarter than most.) I’ve been able to drive about 400 miles between getting more air from our local tire man shop. (Somehow a town of 600 people can support a tire shop, but we can’t seem to keep a restaurant in business! Go figure.)

This morning, “Angel” and I drove to Les Schwab in Forest Grove after taking the big kids to school. “Look, Mommy! They’re running!” she exclaimed. Yep, just like in the commercials, the man ran right out to my car. 🙂

Within a hour I was walking out of there leakfree and not a cent poorer. And Angel was full of free popcorn. Turns out a bit of chain was lodged in the tube. Les Schwab–champion of the single mother!

I (heart) my Prius. My writer friend, Sandy Glahn, just bought one and is in love. She likens it to playing a video game while driving. Seeing the car through her eyes reminds me of much I love my silver pine mica baby. Just as in a marriage, the driver/Prius relationship only gets better with time.

I (heart) good evaluations. Our results from the OCW conference workshop were Good^2 and Super^7. Maybe they might ask us back sometime. 😉 If anyone hated it, they didn’t turn their evaluations in … or they might have been “misplaced.” Always got to keep on eye on Mom, ya know?

I (heart) breakfast for dinner. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for breakfast casserole:
8 oz shredded jack (we were out of Colby jack tonight, so we went with cheddar)
8 slices bacon, crumbled (I use the whole package!)
4 green onion tops, sliced and cooked in the bacon grease (if you don’t like green onions, you still might give this a try. Generally, I’m not a big fan, but they’re delicious in this)
8 eggs
1 c milk
1 tsp seasoning salt

Combine all ingredients, reserving 1/4 c cheese. Pour into greased 9×13 for 35 minutes @ 350. Sprinkle remaining cheese and bake 5 mins.

Pair with applesauce and Cinnamon rolls … yum!
