I balance the glamor of auto reporting with the glamor of motherhood. Have to move carseats every time I test a new hot car.

Why Memorial Day Is A Car Thief's Day To Go To Work
autos.aol.com — Go ahead. Enjoy your BBQ. But lock your car in a safe place, because Memorial Day is the second-worst day of the year for car stealing. Or second best if you are a thief. Why Memorial Day?
This is some fabulous story telling right after the OK tornado. Wish I could write like this on a regular basis: n.pr/14Nnrh1
Death Toll Expected To Rise After Monster Twister In Okla.

Dear @delta, I've removed my gluten free meal request from my profile because the food is so awful. Even in biz class. Thanks for trying.
@Justin_Hyde @MickiMaynard Yeah, I thought of that after I hit send on my initial tweet.
RT @lakegirl1: Today is deadline for dropping off items locally to help. #Hands of light in action dexter.patch.com/articles/dexte…
Dexter Group To Lend Hand to Oklahoma Tornado Victims
dexter.patch.com — More than one-year after a tornado struck the Dexter area, residents are chipping in to help another tornado struck town - this time in Oklahoma. Nancy Malone with Hands of Light in Action said she and others in the group are busy gathering supplies.
@MickiMaynard Although I guess they could need it for supplies to clean up.
@MickiMaynard Home improvement stores seems like an odd request now. I'm guessing most people need gas cards to cover extra fuel costs.
@WesRaynal I agree, that seems like your only option.
@MickiMaynard Because clothing is very, very hard for agencies to sort through and distribute. Gift cards are much easier.
