wed. 22, 2014

I had a good time at my nieces baby shower. Her due
date is November 27. Looking forward to meeting
my great nephew.

After the shower 3 of my sisters and I went to
the casino.
I gavethe place 40 bucks. But still I had fun!

 I traded my crappy Ford Fusion in.......bought a
new Honda Civic. Originally I planned on keeping the Fusion until the Sonata died since the Fusion is 7 years younger and has half the miles on it that the Sonata has, giving the Fusion to daughter, and trading in the Sonata...........but the Sonata drives great, and doesn't break down like the Fusion does. The Sonata has been a great car...........even the paint job still looks good.

I got sons employee discount on the price of the Honda, plus
another 500 bucks.......and I saved a few more hundred since it's a new 2014 rather than a 2015.
The car is metallic grey with black interior. I think
it's nice. And not that it matters to me, but the car reads my text messages out loud if I'm driving......
cracks me up!
 If you ever have to finance a car........always make sure to make them knock
the interest rate they offer you down at least 2 points........they will always ask for 2 points higher than what you can actually get. I got 0.9%.
I would have bought a Jaguar if I could have afforded one.........but I can't! :O) I'm happy with what I got.

Daughter wants to continue on in school.
I'm happy for her.......but I really thought I was finished paying tuition.........!

A Honda or Toyota is a good choice, my daughter has a Fusion and I wasn't impressed with it.

The trip to Texas was a bit hard on me at times but my old 96 Dodge Dakota, the pissant express didn't miss a beat on the whole trip. I love that old truck but at times wish I had another 20 horsepower, I worked that V6 pretty hard at times but it didn't complain, just took the licken and kept on ticken.
