delayed great news

we got the Versa last week tuesday night. we had to go down to carbondale to close on the loan, which ended up taking all day. the short story is that they had the paper work we were waiting on when they (the bank) first opened, but it was laying on the desk of someone who had the day off. so we came home and went strait to pick up the car. and let me tell you all the frustration just went away driving my new car home.

i know it sounds corny but this is the newest car i have ever had. and the first one that i have bought.

here are some better pics. enjoy







pretty huh?

its got a couple scratches but i got an estimate today. 50 bucks to fix ill post about that later. ill do before and after pics.

just in case your wondering

no we dont have the car yet :(

we had planed to go down and finalize the loan on saturday but the paper work from the place he got his loan from had a "processing time"

i like to call it a "frustrating time" so we are waiting to here from the bank and then we go finalize.

hoping and praying we hear from them tomorrow. that would rock!

we had a relaxing weekend, other then that. ill post more later.

car situation update

here is hopefully our future car i really like it and we should here from the bank tomorrow. ill have better pics after we get it since i didnt these the current owner did.


ok so a few thoughts i had today.

1. i was at work and thinking about how my dad has seen 300 but i havent yet. this sparked more thoughts about my dad and his taste in movies the past couple years. im not sure if im rubbing off on him, or if his taste was this way before, but he likes some of the movies that i wouldnt think he would. for example 300, sin city, ummm what else... im not sure right now. i think its cool. he usually watches them when my mom is busy or gone for a while.

2. tonight at the grocery store i saw a "baked onion cooker". i had to pick it up for a closer look. its a container you stick in the micowave to "bake" an onion like a potato and eat it. i have never heard of anyone eating a baked onion. if you have let me know. cause it sounds gross.

yep im tired going to bed.

g'night

the results are in

just a quick update folks...

drumroll please bddbdbdbdbdbdbbdbdbdbdbdbd



its TOTALED!

thats right it wasnt pretty on the outside, but it was downright ugly on the inside.

so let the car shopping begin. we have found some great prospects. so keep up the prayer. we didnt get a lot for the car, wasnt really surprised, so the budget is tight. so kinda changes weekend plans a little. more car shopping less, whatever else.

on a ore positive note, the office was hilarious tonight.

im going to bed.

goodnight.

is it totaled?

thats the question that we have been waiting all day to hear answered.

and we are still waiting.

it happened monday morning as i was going to work. i was driving the speed limit 15mph, slow huh, and the guy pulled out in front of me. crunch! all he has is a few scratched and a crooked bumper. and im the one waiting to hear if its totaled. fair huh? yea i had to have it towed since the wheel well was against the tire.

im getting a rental in the morning. turns out they have a special price for state farm customers without the rental car policy. thats me. so i think its a cobalt. never have driven one of those.

so i guess just pray for us. that our car is fixable and that we dont have to completely rework our budget to buy a car.

monday...

grrrr...i feel how this dog looks.

this was such a truly wonderful day the words to describe to its fullest escape me.



if your not picking up on my sarcasm then you might need to clean your computer screen , because it probably oozing with it.



ill have pictures and more about it tomorrow...



and just for fun

And ?

so i realized this morning that i havent made a post in a while. made a post? i dont know if thats worded right. whatever.

this week has been kinda screwy. work has been crazy. storms. frustrations. etc

but these are all really excuses.the only reason that i havent posted is that i havent.

heres the skinny.

im starving for design. i want no scatch that i need it. and im not talking little come home after work and do it while watching tv stuff. i want to design full time.

this is what i went to school for and dreamed of for years. its not that i dont like my job that i have right now it just feels like im in limbo. im wasting my talent and i feel im going to lose it. like atrophied or something.

so that said im not waiting around and eagerly waiting for something to pop up on craigslist or any other site. im taking it to their door. starting tomorrow im going to update my resume and start the active hunt.
