I have been bitten - by the "car bug". I want a new car - BAD! I have wanted one for a bit over a year and I have been trying to make Dave Ramsey proud and hold off. Well, today I gave in to a bit of the temptation and test drove some cars....

The first one was simply a whim when I got on the lot. It looked fun.... it is really cute but not for me.

Okay now this next one is the one that I have been lusting over for nearly a year and a half......

I realized that I LOVE it from the front but HATE It from the back.


The third car I drove was simply on a whim - I saw it and thought I'd try it out. It was great! Although I will not be making a purchase (how proud are you Dave Ramsey?!?!).

I guess I will just keep looking. I do know that I def. want a convertible!!! I miss mine and want another one! So for now I am trying to ward off the car bug..... *sigh*

Sugar, Sugar, Everywhere.....

You need "trip food" on a trip. You need a cooler that is full of cold drinks and yummy snacks......you need to have a picnic on the way there.....have fun music blasting and laughter filling the car.
Today, I have been studying for a test (tell ya about it l8r), packing a few things and decide to make some Puppy Chow for our fun beach trip. I'm going on w/ teacher friends......we are staying at a condo for FREE!! ***THANKS WONDERFUL FRIEND THAT GOT THE FREE CONDO!!!*** If you haven't ever made puppy chow it is coated in powdered sugar. You are "supposed" to put the mixture in a large paper grocery bag and begin to shake it vigorously. Well, #1 I think putting your food in a bag where there has been groceries that have been touched by all these ppl in the grocery store is gross. And #2 most places use plastic.
Sooo I decide to use a gallon freezer bag. I thought....it will be sturdy. I begin to shake vigorously and suddenly there is powdered sugar everywhere....on me, the cabinet, countertop, floor **you're welcome Sadie (she loves to clean the floor for me!)**. I'm not a very "neat" cook - I get food all over the place and I'm not very patient with things so I usually splurt them everywhere. (Yes, I just used the word splurt!) But it usually isn't "this bad". It is kinda like the time I was making a caramel pie like O'Charley's where you cook the sweetened cond. milk in the can and then pour it into the crust. That little technique can be a little tricky! No one told me that if you don't let it cool and try to open the can when it's hot it will EXPLODE!!! Where was THAT in the recipe?!?!?! And I mean explode. There was pseduo caramel all over the place - from ceiling to floor. God bless that little apartment there is still probably some caramel on the ceiling over there in the Crossings. *sigh*

Am I really a "blogger"?!?!

Weeeeell, after many friends saying - you need to get a blog....here I am! Not really sure what I will blog about.....in fact right now I'm sitting here thinking....just delete it and forget the whole thing.....who's gonna read your blog. *sigh*

I would like to make my blog all cutsied up - I'll just have to play with it and figure all that mess out.

I hope ya'll have an awesome day!!
*HUGS*
