Tomorrow is National Pie Day. An event I haven’t missed since learning of its existence. After all, pie IS my favorite dessert.
It isn’t that I forgot. Rather, knowing I had a three-day weekend right beforehand, I procrastinated. Procrastinated, yeah, I keep meaning to join procrastinator’s anonymous.
And typical of a three-day weekend and all four wee beasties at home…no pie.
Nicole does a regular Top 10 List feature over on her blog, called Ten on Tuesday. I mentioned its fun brilliance and she pointed me toward Carole where I registered for the Ten on Tuesday prompts.
Today’s prompt:
10 Things You Always Have in Your Car
- Booster seat
- First-aid kit…four boys, need I say more?
- ABBA CD
- An outlet thing (adapter?) we plug into the lighter spot that allows us to charge anything from phones to DSI’s to my laptop
- Blanket
- Hand sanitizer
- Roll of paper towel
- Tinkerbell (a necklace I got on a visit to Disneyland as a kid and it’s hung from my rear view mirror since my very first car)
- Loose change in the ashtray (I always keep at least $2 in there)
- Scotland flag decal (I won’t stick to my car so I can move it)

What a good list!
Right now my car has:
• maps
• magnifying glass (to read those maps!)
• change
• mints
• pad of paper/pens
• packing blanket (it’s a new SUV and I carry some messy things)
• tie down straps
• sunglasses
• paper napkins
When the dogs go with me there are also a couple of dog beds.
It’s occurred to me that you can tell a lot about a person by what they have in their car.

Somewhere I have a Thomas Guide…it’s just not in my car, LOL. You’re right, you can tell a lot about a person. For example, ever since being caught in a blizzard I’ve carried a blanket in my car…even though I now live in the desert.
Love your list Maria, thanks for stopping by.

Love that ABBA CD! Here are my 10: Houston city map (downtown gets confusing), pencil, tire gauge, cell phone recharger, glasses cleaning cloth, CDs, napkins (leftover from drive-through), coins, car manual, and insurance registration card. All of that sounds so practical. Maybe I should hang Mardi Gras beads from my mirror or something.

The wee beasties fell in love with that ABBA CD on a road trip a few years ago. Now they want to hear it every time we start the car, LOL. I figured the car manual and insurance registration were givens
You and Maria are so prepared with your maps actually IN your cars. Thanks for stopping by Julie.

Isn’t the Ten on Tuesday fun?
Also, National Pie Day? I know what I’ll be picking up from the store on the way home!

It certainly saves the bacon when poor planning hits
Thanks for swinging by Nicole.
