Three Things Thursday

1. I was in Austin this week for Mother's Day and it was fabulous. I made many friends, like Poomba. He's like roomba, except for my parents' pool.

2. And there's this guy, who took up residence in my mom's new stove. It's the first scorpion they've found since moving to Texas, so I'm pretty psyched I was there for it. My mom was like "Go get your dad!" and I was thinking "Can I take this as a souvenir?" Not sure how the TSA would take that one.

3. My final new friend was my mom's brand-new swagger wagon. She bought herself a Prius and I have to say, I'm a big fan. I took it to the gym and drove her around in it. If I didn't already have a damn sweet triathlon-worthy chariot of my own, this is what I'd go for. I love that it's giving you your MPG in real time. It feels like you have a score to beat. Also, it's way roomier than I expected, which I tested out with our multiple shopping trips.
