A BRAND NEW ONE!!!

And its all mine this time!  We went down this morning and got my new Scion.  April has dubbed it Hearsy (as in she thinks it looks like a hearse) Squirt (because of its colour).  Most disrespectful.  I love that car.  And only I am driving it.  So now when we go out if we go in the car,  I drive, and when we go in the truck, he drives.  And in my car I pick the radio station, and he picks in his truck.  And...he can't throw his stupid used kleenexes on the floor!

We were in the middle of doing the insurance part when a very large and handsome fireman came to the office door and told us we all had to go out to this one spot out on the lot as they were having a fire drill.  What the hell?  So out we went and stood out there while the manager called a roll call!  It was kind of fun.  We spotted our old car being looked over :(  Sad.

We drove back down later to take the truck in for some work.  On the way down I noticed the AC was on and wouldn't turn off.  In fact the button that turns it on pushed in and wouldn't come out.  Jeez!  So when I got there to pick up Bill I had the guy come out and check it out.  They took it into the shop and we went in and had coffee and waited while they fixed it.  I sincerely hope this is not a sign of what may come!

Off to Costco and bought all the stuff we needed to be able to put dogs in the back without ruining it.  Cargo covers, dog beds etc....  Its so good to drive again.

ROLL CALL OUT IN THE BACK OF THE LOT...YOU CAN SEE THE GUY WITH HIS ARM UP....HERE HERE HERE I AM...HE WAS SO FUNNY

Dinner up here with the kids tonite.  Salmon and salad.  Tomorrow is juice time.  We picked up the things we needed today and now we are ready!  I am ready to be hungry and healthy again!  I will let you know tomorrow how I am feeling!  TTYL

SORRY FOLKS...

Wow, its been a while.  Nothing much has happened and I won't be juicing again til next week.  So I kind of forgot to blog.  But now that I am here I shall catch you up.

I am not sure where I left off.  I think I had just come back from Kamloops.  Since then I managed to sort out more cupboards, fill more garbage cans, go to a jewelry party where I bought awesome jewelry!!  I have packed my suitcase for our trip to the island this weekend and I bought not one but two coats.  And they were ninety bucks each!!

I popped into the fat lady store, looking for black dress pants and a light raincoat.  Neither is findable in my world.  I just simply do not fit pants (ask Aryn I took her with me once and by the end of the shopping trip she had to agree) and the stores here almost never stock coats, at least not the kind I like.

I dropped Bill off at Starbucks and sauntered down to the store.  As I perused the merchandise, I noticed a rack of new coats, light, airy, car coat length, with a hood, somewhat waterproof and in my size.  Oh my god!!  I tried on the dark navy blue one and it fit perfectly, isn't hot and camouflages the fat bump on the top of my back.  Then I tried on the burnt orange version and instead of angsting over which colour to get,  I bought both!  I wear my coats for years and years til they wear out so I wasn't too freaked out about the expenditure.  I am a happy camper!!

Oh and we also bought a scion!  We got a reasonable trade in price for the infinity and so we did it.  We even picked the same colour as the one in Maui.  We get it next week when we get back from the Island.  Yay!!!

 THIS IS THE ONE WE BOUGHT IN MAUI...WE GOT THE SAME ONE HERE

 OUR MOLLY DOGGY, OR CEREBRALMOLLY AS THE KIDS CALL HER
This weekend I get to see my boys.  It has been four months since I saw them last.  I think that is the longest I have ever gone without seeing one of my kids.  I am excited and am also really looking forward to seeing the grandkids.  There will be lots of pics.  I will blog each night or morning now.  TTYL
