at this point, the meat hats are grossing me out too
Isn't this a creepy picture of Celine Dion?
Good for Halloween, I guess.
I'm not a big Halloween fan.
I was totally into it when I was a kid, but, somewhere along the line, I lost enthusiasm. My dad did die on Halloween, but that part's incidental.
When did Halloween become Christmas Part One? (I stole that line from a comedian.)
People around here go CRAZY with decorations, which is fine, but the stores have been flooded with Halloween crappe for over a month now and in the shops near my house it's just being edged out by the Santas and glittery garland.
Okay. Rant over.
Youngest has been to two Halloween parties and still has one more to attend.
He's being a goth-y vampire and has very realistic fangs.
His friends, who are girls, have had a wonderful time doing his makeup and nails and I tailored a black turtle-neck to his specifications.
I've already told you about the other boys...
I'm STILL researching cars, exteriors only at this point, but I'm noticing a pattern.
Nope. I need normal doors.
This new Buick Enclave is popular around here. I think Enclave is a funny name for an SUV but Buick didn't discuss it with me.
I'm sorry, but I don't see me in a Buick. I wouldn't really rather have a Buick. When I think Buick, I think of this -
a big fat sedan belonging to a person of a certain age.
And I'm afraid that the Cadillac Escalade leaves me with the wrong impression too. A different wrong impression.
You don't see me in a Lincoln Navigator do you?
Didn't think so.
Getting one of these and carrying my green shopping bags in it would just be FUNNY, wouldn't it?
This is just silly.
This is too -
Ack.
Subaru changed this -
into this -
which was smart. But they left the interior looking like THIS.
I think it's ugly.
Where was I?
I know, folding the laundry.

But seriously, I love getting over 50 mpg. Well, J gets around 57 mpg, and I usually get just under 50, closer to 47-48. Especially when gas is around $3/gallon. Something to consider. And I know they're making hybrid SUVs these days. I can't speak about how good or cool-looking they are, because it'll be a while before our current cars are even paid off, much less before we start looking for a new one. But hybrid is the way to go. There are even tax write-offs for some.
Have fun with your search!
And it's a sad day when your youngest boy has a nicer manicure than the rest of us.
second. that buick i might add has become the car for this generations caddie driver of the previous generation. get that. my neighbour has one, in black, we used to call him cadillac man for obvious reasons say no more.
i test drove the hummer, toyota land cruiser, chevy ssr, pt cruiser, honda element and the subaru, all in prep of my pickup purchase, i so wish that i had a word of advice for you. i shall ponder, but you seem to have hit the big choices.
I'm the same with you as far as Halloween goes....
In 2 years from now, when my son (hopefully) graduates from college, I will FINALLY get rid of my piece o' crap car and get something nice. Prior to reading about your volvo troubles, I was coveting one. Now, we shall see....
I'm enjoying the armchair car shopping, though....
When your knees get old and arthritic you just slide on and off the seat and don't have to push yourself into a standing position. And you don't have to rent a UHaul when the kid moves in and out of 3 apartments in 15 months.
I'm loving my Mitsubishi Montero.
Oh, a third thing. Ginormous warehouse shopping trips.
I actually liked that lego-like Toyota. Boxy. Considering I drive a brick with wheels it's probably highly predictable.
Check out the new saturns. They are ultra relaible and get great gas mileage.
I have my eye on the new Saturn Sky...
So many cars...I am waiting to see what you'll pick out.
Or I could ship you my 500, you'd do wonders in it!
