My New Car!!!

Oh. My. Gosh.

I can't believe it! After all this time that I have been waiting, I have finally purchased a brand new car!!! AHHH!! I'm so stinkin' excited...you have no idea! And it's perfect timing...right before Christmas and my birthday (Tues, Dec 27th...don't y'all forget now...ya hear?)!

Anyway, here's the story...

I was going to wait until August to get a new car (b/c that's when I graduate and get a job makin' the big bucks), but circumstances arose and I was given the opportunity to buy a new car.

My sister was driving my car (b/c hers was in the shop). Some lady drove into the side of her in a parking lot. This lady's insurance covered it since it wasn't my sister's fault. So the check her insurance cut me was close to $2,500. So I was excited because I thought I was going to get a new side & bumper on my '97 Honda Civic! Then my dad mentioned that we could sell the Civic for about $1,000 and use the money to make car payments on a new car until I graduate. Of course I loved this idea. Plus, since the Civic had over 125,000 miles on it, I wouldn't have gotten that much for it had it been fixed...so I gotta pretty sweet deal!

So, I looked and looked for what I liked....and finally found it. Friday we went to make a deal, but they didn't have the one I wanted, so they had to negotiate with another dealer, etc, etc, etc. So, last night, we got the call: my car was ready to pick up! Oh man, its sooo pretty! I love it, I love it, I love it.

So you wanna know what it is? I thought so. It's a lovely white 2006 Chevrolet Equinox. There's a possibility you haven't heard of this car...that's because they didn't come out until 2004 or 2005 or something. Anyway, it's the LT2 model with light tan leather interior. Wow, it’s so nice. I can hardly believe that it belongs to me! It's really exciting. I'll be taking some pictures soon for your viewing pleasure of course!

Alright people. I'm not sure if I'll be posting again before Christmas, so if I don't you guys & gals have a great Christmas, and a wonderfully Happy New Year! (And in between those two, I'll be having a Happy 25th Birthday!)

San Diego Part 2

I know, I know. I've been slackin' off with the posting lately. But you see, school is crazy, and I've finally finished all my assignments!

So, I know you've been dying for the second installment of my San Diego trip, so it has finally arrived. Here it is ladies and gents! My trip to the world-renown San Diego Zoo!!!


Aw, look how cute this Koala bear is while sleeping!

There are only two zoos in the US that have Panda bears. So of course I had to get some pictures. They seemed smaller than I thought they would be. And it looked like it was someone dressed up in a Panda costume walking around out there. It was weird, but definitely neat to see.


"Its time for your close up!"


To my surprise, the most enjoyable animal to watch was this friendly and very playful polar bear. I think I got some pretty good shots of him. Of course, these were taken through glass, so thats why they look scratchy.


He came right up against the glass for us...it was so fun to watch him!


He looked right towards me! He's so cute...and kinda looks like a big wet dog. Don't ya think?

Anyway, that's all the pictures from the zoo that I feel are worth posting. I did make a video of my San Diego trip. Its about 10 minutes long. Hopefully I'll get a DVD burner for Christmas, and I'll be able to watch my movie on the big screen TV!

Until next time...
