UPDATE:




  • I finally purchased a vehicle to replace my dearly departed Toyota Camry (RIP 1997-2008). I got a 09 Nissan Versa hatchback. I don't have any pics, so just click the link if you have no idea what they look like. Mine is pretty basic. It's white and for the first time ever, I have a CD player and keyless remote. WhooHoo...moving on up, baby! Hopefully, I'll get some pics soon. Now I get to pay for this thing for the next 3-4 years...


  • I saw Twilight last Friday night. It was decent. You must go into it realizing that there is going to be a certain cheeseball factor to it due to it being a teen romance in nature. I'm thinking of cutting my hair like Alice Cullen. What do you think? I also thought it was pretty awesome that Edward drives a hatchback (like me!) in the movie.






  • I find that there are a lot of non-hatchback lovers out there. I can understand that to a degree because I thought they were ugly in high school, but how are they any different from a SUV or a van?
  • I still want to see the new Bond movie. Daniel Craig is a hotty. :)
  • I'm just getting started with my Christmas shopping. This year has gone by way too fast.
  • I'm still undecided on whether or not I feel financially ready to purchase a house. Should I take another year and put some more money back? We've got a pretty decent emergency fund and I would rather not dip into that for closing costs, etc.
  • I am so ready for Thanksgiving. We're doing the traditional dinner at the grandparents' again this year. Bring on the turkey...gobble, gobble.
  • I've joined a book club. Last month we discussed The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. I read it last year. Our next book is Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris. It was a pretty good collection of short stories. Now I'm a couple of chapters into The Pact by Jodi Picoult. I hear she's good. I love the library. I also got Confessions of a Shopaholic to listen to during my commute. I eventually want to re-read the entire Harry Potter series. I might start that next.
  • I have been knitting the same pair of socks since the beginning of the year. I'm almost finished. Why can't I just finish this second sock?
  • Christmas cards have been ordered. That is really all I have accomplished for the holidays.

Ok...so I can't think of anything else to ramble about. Later.

I don't know if you've seen this on the news, but this has been keeping me entertained. Someone has a litter of adorable puppies that they are streaming live on the internet 24 hours. They're so cute, I just had to post.



I'm also going to try to embed this on my blog. Wish me luck.

Edit: OK...this link isn't showing up. I'll keep trying.
