what we did today

today, we spent a whole lot of money. jeepers. we got one of these. doesn't look exactly like this, b/c it is a wee tiny bit used, but it is ours now!


in other news, lipstick on a pig is a well-known expression, and obama did not mean any insult to anyone when he said it. let's get serious, people. it is simply an idiom. don't be idiots over the idiom! what is unbelievable to me is that my old man had never heard the expression before. i could not figure out at first what all the hooplah was about, b/c when they played the clip of obama saying lipstick on a pig, i literally did not hear it. i was listening for the big story, and it just passed me right by. why? because it is a common saying! c'mon people! get with the program.

so, yeah, we spent a lot of money on a 2006 honda civic. i hope it lives up to its billing. supposed to be such great cars. we have gotten 213500 miles on the jeep, and that is a hulava lot on a chrysler product. the honda has 32000 give or take, so it should have a good nother 200000 in it. you will no doubt know if we become disappointed in any way.

my avon came yesterday. w00t! soon i will be smelling like mandarins & vanilla & stuff. yummy! there was also hairspray in the box. hairspray is vital right now with the growing-out hair. every day is a trial & tribulation of hair & how it will perform. i usually have to paste it into submission with hairspray. am i using too much hairspray? no. never. not.

peace out.
