Car!!

Yes, a different car! I had Fancy (the bmw) for 2 years, and that is about as long as I can last with a car. So I got an '06 Outback sport!  Love the AWD and hatchback - can anyone say camp-mobile?

I spent about 6 hours at the dealership, and drove there without Fancy. A good trick. I got them to payoff Fancy (they paid retail bluebook price, about $4K more than trade-in) and bring the price down of the car so that I could stay in a low payment. So they never even saw my trade-in and paid the same amount  they can sell her for. I think I did learn something from my Dad with all those trips to the dealership!

I had a request for pics of my new 'do, so, here :)

Pillow Post

Thanks to Judy's help, I made some pillows and curtains. Velvet-type material = very hard to sew! Especially since my last sewing experience involved scrunchies...eek! Judy and Evie even placed velcro on the sides of some pillows so I can wash them! I LOVE my curtains, the perfect mix of brown and light blue!

Ooh! That middle pillow might just match the curtains :) I have some cozzzzy couches!

Doggie's pillow. She at least understands "go lay down." She didn't really understand why momma was sitting on her bed though. I hate that I see my speaker wire back there... I need some ideas on how to hide those.

Figured I should include shots of myself, not all landscape :)

Bad kitty! NO kitties in the room allowed, but I didn't close the door when taking pics. OOPS

Just settling in here! Thinking about adding a roommate (short term) just so I can fly to see my family in Colorado and landscape the yard. Without the roommate, I am a bit limited, as expected.

Nothing new to report really. Started working with our 1st Mortgage department about a training program that will cross train consumer loan officers (auto, visas, etc) into 1st Mortgages. Not that I actually know much about mortgages, but I am quickly learning! Really, this is a chance for me to utilize my instruction design skills (love to make new training programs). Speaking of skills, I have one more class before I have my Master's Certificate in Training and Development. To sum it up, I am making myself invaluable to my organization :)
