Very productive day!

I haven't written in awhile because I haven't felt like I have been doing a great job at the whole "stay at home" thing and therefor I haven't been inspired to write.  However, today I feel good.  I got up at a decent time... still not as early as I should be, but at least I got out of the house while it was still morning!

At work I used to always have the phrase in my head "if you need something done in a hurry, give it to a busy person"  That phrase is so true.  It seems the more that is on your plate the more you can get done in a day.  It's the days where I don't have much to do that I find that I don't end up doing anything.

So today I spent the majority of the day applying for a loan and buying a car.  Lots of running around to do between banks and the woman who we are buying the van from.  Even with all of that running around I still managed to give the dog a walk, give Hope a bath, do some laundry, have dinner with parents, and go grocery shopping (not in that order).   I still didn't get enough cleaning done or make a meal at home, but I'd still say that's pretty darn good!

I am very excited about my new van and can't wait to drive it around town.  Still waiting to get the title transferred into my name after the previous owner gets a release of lien on the title.  It's the nicest thing I have ever driven!  This is the 6th vehicle that I have owned:  1st was a '89 Mazda 323, then a 92/94? Buick Century, then '97 Dodge Neon, then '94 Saturn SL, then '98 Olds Silhouette.  The Buick, Saturn, and Olds were all hand-me-downs from parents.  This is my first vehicle that was made in this century and the newest and nicest vehicle I have ever owned.  I am very happy!

Oh! I should mention what I got!  haha... silly baby brain.  It's a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT and it is customized and fully loaded with everything!!  It's beautiful! Dual DVD player, swivel & go second row seating, stow & go 3rd row, navigation system, game system hookup, moonroof, just gorgeous!
