Is my memory going?

Shortly after publishing my last post, I realized that I missed some significant points:

CAR...I have a new car! I tend to tire of cars after just a couple of years and my last car was no exception. I mentioned to my husband that I was ready to look at new vehicles and he decided to go looking while I was in Palm Springs. He called me and wanted to know what he should be looking for -- were there any options that I could NOT live without? Duh...heated seats, sunroof, and manual transmission! I also preferred a dark color and either satellite radio or iPod integration. Later that weekend I spoke with him on the phone and he indicated he didn't have the opportunity to shop for cars. So it was with much surprise and joy to see my husband picking me up from the airport driving a NEW BLACK 2008 AUDI A4! What a sweet car this is...it has everything I wanted and even more...I'm totally in love with this car! I think I might keep this one for more than a couple of years! I'll get around to posting a pic soon.


ETSY is an awesome website that I recently discovered by sure chance. It's a site similar to eBay; however, the items are all HANDMADE and the fees for selling aren't nearly as gouging as FeeBay, er, eBay. I kid you not, the first time I perused this site, several hours passed in a snap! There are so many fabulous items for sale - people are so talented!

Has it really been 5 months?

I honestly don't know how things like this happen; I start blogging and then the next thing you know, it's been 5 months since my last post! I suppose I could make excuses and blame it on work or something of the like, but what good would it do? So, here goes another attempt! To kick off this "new" beginning, I've decided to get a custom blog banner, so stay tuned for some exciting changes to come...

Quick update:

WORK is going well; I'm still absolutely loving my job! I've officially been assigned to a service/specialty within the OR --> Orthopedics. They have a really great team, so I'm excited to be their newest member. I'm also starting a new schedule, 0700-1730 M-Th, so I certainly don't envy my friends/family who have to work 5-days a week!

FAMILY life is essentially the same. Most notably, Dj et al have somehow convinced me to play WOW, aka World of Warcraft. I haven't started yet, but will be inducted around the first week of March.

CRAFTING time has been very limited; yet just like blogging, I'm going to make an effort to play more. I joined my crafty friends last weekend and created some Bella cards...photos to follow soon. We've even decided to have a Girls Scrappin' Weekend in April!

Here's a pic from Linda's birthday bash in Palm Springs last month. We had such a blast! Shortly before this picture was taken, our waiter asked us, on behalf of two guests, if we were all hairdressers because we looked so "fabulous"! Ha...no, we're just all a bunch of make-up whores!


That should suffice for now...
