Busy Times!

I am not finished with this layout. There are lots of little things I want to add or tweak. But… I have been too busy to do any of that!
I got a new car! And by new, I mean brand new! When Colin and I got our big income tax check with the new homeowners $8,000 credit, we knew we wanted to get a new(er) vehicle so he could have my white blazer and we could get rid of his. His is older and rides like a beastie. We kept putting off looking at cars. Well we finally got to it a couple of weeks ago. For three days we drove all over looking at SUV-type things. I’ve only ever drove a blazer and didn’t think I would like driving a car that would be so much lower to the ground. I also wanted an SUV because it would most likely bounce deer off of it. I am very picky about color and I didn’t want something black, white, red, or silver. That narrows things down a lot! To make this story that’s starting to get long shorter, I found a celestial blue Mazda 3 and that’s what we ended up going with. Yay!
Last weekend my mom and I had a yard sale. For the two days we had it we ended up making over $500 all together. We wanted to get rid of things badly so prices were cheap! What we had left (and there was a ton left!) we gave to the mother of one of my students I had this past year. She’s started a place where people in need can shop for free!
Tomorrow, Colin and I are leaving for Canada. We are flying out of Nashville so we have to get up early. :p Later tonight we are taking Annabelle to my parents’ house. They are going to cat-sit her. I have a ton to do, but don’t really know where to start! The hardest thing to pack is clothing. I guess I will pack a little of everything since there will probably be cold and warm days.
With all of that said, I will hopefully find some time to write whilst in Canada. I’m sad I can’t just use my iPhone freely while there. Hopefully I will find lots of wi-fi spots so I can send messages from Twitter.
This time tomorrow I will be on an airplane!!

Have fun on your trip! Depending on how far North into Canada you go, the weather can be hot in the afternoon and rather cold in the evenings once the sun goes down. You’ll most likely have a use for jeans and a good sweater if you’re about at night. I haven’t been there in a while, but my Aunt says the weather is similar to where I live (NH) and that’s how it is here.

Bounce deer off it? :tears:

:star: New car!!! That’s what I’ve been churning over in my mind for months… I need to get my current debt paid off though. I don’t want to be in this situation ever again.
Also, I’m glad you got to take advantage of that $8k deal. I really wanted too, but my boyfriend is in the Army, in Iraq, right now, and so we missed out on house shopping and all that during the time limit.
Have fun with your new car and Canada!
