Hi.

Did I mention that Kristie got a new car? Yep. We were back at carmax in less than 3 weeks. Unbelievable.

All because that stupid KIA couldn't hold out one more month.

Anyway, she got a REALLY good deal on a Saab 93. It's very cute and VERY hooked up.

74K miles but every bell and whistle you can think of from a sunroof, heated seats, power everything, heated mirrors, onstar (not that she's gonna pay the subscription), oh the list just goes on and on. PLUS an extended warranty. ;)

This is what it looks like (not the actual car):

Here's a pic of her when she first got it...

She look happy? Shyeah, believe me, she is... she took that free tank of gas that carmax gives you and went all over creation in that car. lol

What's great is that it's cheaper to insure than the KIA. And the car payments really were reasonable.

So finally we all fit into the Fairfield scene, Jess with her Mazda6, me with my Buick Rendezvous and Kristie with her Snob 93. lol

Thankfully the car shopping is done for a while.




We've decided to donate the KIA to charity.

It wasn't going to get much from a buyer anyway and now with a bad transmission I can't even use it as a paperweight.

So we contacted kars4kids.org and they are supposedly going to contact me today about towing that nightmare away.

One nice perk is that they give you a free 2 night hotel stay for your donation, so that'll be nice. :)



You know, evvvvvvvvvvvvvery now and then pleasant surprises come my way.

This weekend I got a check in the mail from the child support folks from Tony.

How he had money to send while he is in jail, I'll never know. Maybe it's residuals from being someone's b!tch.

Or maybe it's a part of his bond money -- I'd heard once that if they pay a bond and owe child support, us bankrupt moms get some.

Pathetic, isn't it? They can pay to get out of jail but not for their own kids?

Whatever, it was nice to get some unexpected cash.

So, what we've decided to do with it is save it towards a big screen TV.

I've wanted one for AGES now... so with this check, we're about half way there. I can't WAIT! Woot! Woot!


When Kristie went on that photo shoot the fashion designer who gave her that dress told me she wanted me to do some work with her (you know, big girls wear clothes too).

So I was like sure, whatever... never really expecting to get a call.

This weekend she called and said she wanted me and Kristie to come in and take some pictures/video for her website.

Ack! So Kristie was all for it... so we said what the heck and went.

Luckily it was all silhouettes.... whew!

Man are artsy fartsy folks weird. LOL

This woman is chubby and about hmmmmm 5 foot 2 and wears these HORRIBLE wigs and her favorite line is "My husband is a model."

Ummm ok -- lol

Now ask me if I care.

Oh but she makes sure she says it every time we speak! lol

Anyway --- it was an experience, I'll say that!

If we find out that the pictures are posted (not that you'll be able to tell which is me) I'll let ya know. :P


So our friend Angie B gave us tickets to go see a taping of The View on the 29th. WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!

I just requested it off. :)

You KNOW that's gonna be a blog entry... ;)


Good luck to Katie who starts her new job today!

Alright, I've got stuff to do, so have a good day folkz.

And now... your Moment of Zen:

Thanks baby for sharing! ;)
