I went down to my car last night (which is only a year old mind you) only to find out it was dead. I tried to turn the car on and nothing other than the check engine light came on. Having dealt with dead cars before, I had a feeling it was the battery.

Yes, I know I'm supposed to run a hybrid at least once every three to four days. Yes, I know the computer system drains the battery even when it's off. Yes, it was entirely my bad for waiting a week and a day to run it (but really, what happens if I have to go out of town for a few weeks).

So, I called Lexus roadside assistance and about 40 minutes later, got a jump. Gabriel LOVED the tow truck (it was a flatbed) guy's truck. He kept telling him he had a "neat truck". He then tried to claim it as his.

I got jumped, I drove around for about 40 minutes, and then we came back home. Hopefully, my car will start fine on Saturday morning when I need to head to the salon.

Last night we ended up ordering in from Domino's when we got back and watched the tail end of Big Brother and all of So You Think You Can Dance.

Tonight, weather permitting, we're thinking of heading over to the county fair.
