I bought my car! Yesterday was finally “the day” so momma and I went to the dealership and told them what I wanted. They didn’t have any white tCs there so they had to get one delivered from Palm Springs. It all worked out fine though because after all the paper work and what not, the car was eventually there. I can’t even begin to explain how proud I feel of myself. I put $5,000 down and the rest is financed and I have a monthly payment. Paying for something so new and so big on your own (especially at my age) is kind of rare, so I do give myself props for being so independant and responsible. I’ve been wanting this for over a year now, I did my research, and saved up enough so now I have my baby. I added the spoiler, racing pedals, and the iPod connector thing to the stock car. I was thinking about upgrading the stereo system, but I can always get that done somewhere else with a better system than Toyota will provide. We also got the extended warranty that covers bumper to bumper for 100,000 miles. I’m happier than I’ve everrrrr been.

While we were waiting for my car to be delivered, we were done with the paperwork so we had some extra time to look around the dealership at other cars “just because…” and when my mom sat inside the 07 Camry LE, she fell in love. She test drove it and decided to dump her current car and buy the Camry as well. The dealer gave her $8,000 for her car so that was pretty much used as her down payment on the Camry. Hers is white just like mine, so we are twins :) Momma has the 07 Camry, and I have the 07 Scion tC. Sooooo– exciting! She is out driving around right now so once she gets home I will take pics of hers and post them too.

I’m in serious need of a hair appt. Normally I’m good with keeping it up every couple months, but the past few months I’ve been crazy busy so it’s been hard. I’ve been trying to hide my roots through volumizing, but now it’s just pretty much impossible and I am in serioussss need!

I’m planning on getting a couple days off next week and the following week so I can go see you and Jes in San Deigo, and then youuuu in Vegas. Gotta plan a couple mini roadtrips to break in Lucy! :)

Alrighty, I’m doing a complete restore on my laptop after I post this, so I better get going. Bye bye!

Not sure if the Esperanza Fire was shocking news to every state besides California, but it makes me incredibly sick. 5 firefighters were killed, hundreds of animals lost their lives, and all because of an arson. Although people have been questioned, nobody has been arrested. I cannot begin to fathom why someone in their right (actually, probably wrong) mind commit such a hateful crime. If you could have only seen the people on the news who lost their homes and their animals, everything they had, it would have had you in tears. My heart goes out to all the families who lost loved ones.

I don’t know what’s going around all of a sudden but I got the flu reeeeally bad and then I gave it to my mom. From her severe coughing, she had a sciatic nerve that was pinched and had to be put into the hospital. She was only there for a day, but I’ve had to take time off work to take care of her. She cannot walk, and when she tries, she gets a shooting pain all the way up her left side of her body. Next week they are going to do some blood work and test for cancer, just in case. It’s hard to see my mom like this but she has been making progress every day. I sleep with her everynight to make sure she is alright and if she needs anything, I am right there. She’s going to be okay though.

I had a lovely night at Knott’s Scary Farm with Britt, Sean, Elyse, Courtney, my bebe, and a few of Britt’s friends but maybe that had to do with a little but of alcohol. See, I’m a huuuuge “scardy-cat” and although I love scary movies and scary things, I do get scared very easily and sometimes I get to a point where it leads into a panic attack, BUT I was a-ok at Knott’s and I do thank my vodka for that one. I miss all you girlies, we def need to do it again! XO

I’m at the point where I am counting down the days until I get my car. We’ve already been pre-approved for the loan, now we just need to decide the day and dealer and then I’ll have my baby! I will have to call around to a few dealers nearby to find out which one has a white tC, because that’s the color my heart it set on. CAN’T WAIT!

Lately I’ve been so nervous about the move. I know it’s like 5 months away, but taking time off work has left me with way too much time to over analyze everything and think of all the good and bad things that will or could happen. I’m a very, very independant person just like my mom and I am determined to make something of myself no matter where I happen to move, but there will always be that little bit of doubt in the back of my mind which leads me to be scared of failure. Failure will not be an option for me, but it’s always going to be a fear. Maybe it’s good for me to be scared though, it will keep me on my feet and keep me moving to get me where I want to be. All I can do for now if just try to keep myself completely occupied at all times so I don’t have enough time to even think about the negatives. I’m trying :/

I have a lot more on my mind that I’d like to vent about, but I’ve got to help my mom right now. Be back later.

sorry about bang yesterday guys! I had it set up to where whenever I needed to pay for the domain, it would automatically take it out of my checking account, but my debit card got stolen a couple weeks ago and I turned off that account so when they went to take the money from my account, there was none. oops!

but rj called me and helped take care of it, so give him lots of lovin’ :)

I’m getting some food right now then heading to work so I will post more later with new pictures. xo
