Nothing blogworthy

Sorry for the lack of posts lately...I just feel as if I have nothing blogworthy to say. The other night the hubs and I had a conversation that I thought might be bloggable, a la The Bobby Pin, but alas...I can't for the life of me recall what it was about! :P

Anyway, just figured I'd check in. Not up to much...preparing to go camping in Idyllwild this weekend, and that's about it for now. TONS of stuff going on in the next few weeks though, so I'll try my best to update my blogs! *lightbulb* In fact, maybe I'll post about my day at the races last week...just to whet your appetite for more of my thrilling life. :)

Be back soon!

I need your help!

Okay, friends. I need some advice. I really would like to buy a new Chargers shirt for the upcoming football season, and I really cannot decide which one to buy! The t-shirt looks SO comfortable and casual and cute, and would work, but I do already have a jersey, which is kind of like a t-shirt. However, the tank top is super cute, and I could really use something sleeveless for the games early in the season.

What do you think?

Look alikes?

Okay, so this has been bugging me for some time, and I finally had to look it up on imdb.com. I thought maybe Juliet from the TV series "Lost" was the same actress as Dagmar in the movie "Lars and the Real Girl." Turns out I was wrong. But check this out.

This is Elizabeth Mitchell (from "Lost").


Doesn't Patricia Clarkson (from "Lars and the Real Girl") look just like a slightly older version of Elizabeth?



I'm just saying....

And...I'm off!

Dear Readers....all two of you....

I just wanted to wish you all a wonderful 4th of July holiday! I will be in beautiful Ohio (hee hee) for the next week, visiting the in-laws. M and I are driving up to Niagara Falls for a couple of days though to celebrate our 1st anniversary. I can't wait!

Stay tuned for updates! :)

New car!

This weekend was a very exciting one for us! M and I made the decision to trade in both of our vehicles for a Honda Element. M originally was just going to trade in his truck, but we decided that since most of our vehicle usage was just local commuting, we didn't really want two vehicles that required expensive gas. So, we chose to trade in both vehicles, and instead get the Element and a Vespa. The Element will be our distance vehicle, and will be great for cargo and camping! The Vespa will be our local commuting vehicle. We'll be sharing both of them. Pretty exciting! This is our first big purchase as a married couple. We are moving on up! ;)

After spending all day in the dealership, we really wanted to go spend some time in the new vehicle, so we drove it out to the drive-in to check out the comfort and sound quality. We watched Kung Fu Panda and Iron Man. Both great movies! We watched the movie from the front window this time. Next time, we are bringing blankets, laying down the seats, and opening up the back hatch and watching the movie from the back. I can hardly wait!

We weren't able to sign up for motorcycle classes until July, so we won't be licensed to drive a Vespa until then. In the meantime, I'm mainly driving the Element, and M drives his Gremlin to work for now. We are loving the new vehicle! I can't wait to take it out on the road, and on a camping trip! Stay tuned for another update once we get our Vespa! :)

A fun little time-waster

I found this game on A Southern Grace, and couldn't resist trying it myself!
