If you throw a volt meter on your battery with your car running, you can test your alternator. With the car off, you get just over 12 volts. With your car running, you should see around 14 volts. If you don't, you know your alternator is going out.
Tauni's problem seems like a loose wire to me. Maybe one of the wires that goes to the starter. It also could be the starter solinoid starting to go. Thats the part of the starter that makes the "click" sound when you turn the key.
