I have been driving a Prius for too long…
I love the smart key in our Prius. I can have my hands full when walking to the car and only need to reach to the door handle to unlock the doors. No more putting things down while I search for my keys in my bag or my coat pocket…just the great sound of unlocking when I most need it. I also don’t have to remember to put my keys in my bag before I get out of the car because you don’t drive with the keys in the ignition. The car responds to the key if it is IN the car - so you can leave the keys in a bag, coat, or the back seat if you want.
Friday, I decided to take the Subaru to work because of an ice storm around school (hooray for a two hour delay!). WHILE driving home, I was in great need of my chapstick, which I cleverly keep on my key chain. Since I am used to my keys always being in bag, I began searching all through the bag. Suddenly, I became fearful that aI may have forgotten my keys at school because I couldn’t find them anywhere. I thought about all the places the keys could be…jacket pocket, top of the roof, I even glanced out the window to see if I left them dangling in the door. About this time, I realize I AM driving and something must be powering the car. In a regular car, keys are in the ignition when a car is moving…and there was my chapstick, dangling from the key ring.

We have returned from all travels. We flew through 7 states for our 9 day journey. Our flights were horrendous, but we were able to arrive at all our destinations with our baggage, only holding off Christmas for the kids by a few hours - and we received two flight vouchers for our troubles. I took an extra present home from my youngest niece who accidentally put her slimy finger in my mouth when I wasn’t looking. I was sick the last 2 days and am still a bit groggy, but really like the fact that I only had to work Friday before getting another 2 day break from school.
Tim’s birthday flew by while I was sick, so we weren’t able to celebrate with parties or food (especially since Tim also became sick and lost his sense of taste for a day…it took him a while to realize the food didn’t need more salt but that his sensors were broke). Today we were able to celebrate Tim’s day and went to the Bodies Revealed exhibit in Hartford. It was amazing to see. The body is so intricately made and requires so many parts to be working in harmony. The scientific outing was well worth it. We made it home in time for the Packers playoff game and laundry. Our Saturdays just keep getting better.
