HOT WHEELS


We all remember Hot Wheels whether we played with them ourselves (they were actually called "Matchbox Cars" in my day) or spent relentless trips to wall-mart to search for the illusive yellow ferrari that would rock the neighborhood. Well today I relived those Hot Wheel memories in a different sort of way....Due to the constraints of mechanical difficulty with my car I was without transportation to work today...DELIMA...my husband could take me but the hitch was getting home after lunch...so i did what any American would do and packed my bike in the back of his car and determined to ride home...now i must confess that I do road bike so this was not a foreign idea to me but i usually pick temperatures that are cooler that 90 and roads that are less traveled. Work was done and by one thirty I was on my way in 95 degree weather on one of the busiest roads in south Charlotte. I now have a new appreciation for "Hot Wheels"

What's in a name?





I consider myself a thoughtful person when it comes to the names of my children and for that matter my pets as well. No one wants a bad name to carry around with them for their entire life..so when my kids started getting married and collecting dogs i decided it was time to come up with my "grandma" name. Cici is my next generation name. Since my name starts with the letter "C" and I have very fond memories of Cici's pizza it was a GO. Now when my grand dogs and eventually grandkids come over for a visit I can yell "Wecome to Cici's". For those of you not familiar with this particular pizza establishment when you cross the threshold the whole staff shouts "Welcome to Cici's" How fun!
