I finally have a car again!

Yesterday evening after work, we stopped by Richards Honda.  I wanted to test drive a Honda Civic. 

I had been thinking about this car purchase for a while, but decided that I did not like the Fit as much as had thought.  It was a little smaller.

Jon and I realized last week that we needed another car.

I had originally planned to wait and buy the car on Friday, but I changed my mind for several reasons.  First, "my" car was on display near the road for everyone to see!  It was the last one in atomic blue metallic!  The last of 4 Civic LX's.  The only colors left were two red and one grey.  I did not want a red or a grey car.  I wanted atomic  blue metallic!

I drove "my" car and just fell in love with it!

Jon and I talked about it and I decided that I wanted to get it! 

When we pulled we back in to the dealership, I told the salesman we wanted to buy it!

Two hours later, I was the owner of an atomic blue metallic 2009 Honda Civic LX Sedan!  I am so happy to have my own car again!

First Week Back

I have been getting to work so much earlier now that Jon is back in school.  I have to find ways to occupy myself.  I am thankful for Internet and music.

Jon is teaching two music theory labs and has to go the class that is associated with it.  He is only doing dissertation hours and piano.  He is finished with all of his coursework.

Jon mentioned a new car search yesterday, so I guess that means I need to get back on it.  It is not the most fun that I have to get up and get to work so very early, but I don't mind doing it for him.  I was hoping we could do the one car thing a little longer.  I think we will have to probably start the car search process again.

Yesterday, Jon cut his thumb with a knife, while I was at work.  I had to tell him how to find the bandages while I was at work.  Luckily, I came across the first aid kit, so I told him to use it.

I have always been very nervous about him and knives, since his hands are very important to his career.  Maybe hand insurance isn't a bad idea.

We are cat-sitting my friend Samantha's cat, Minou.  She is a sweet cat.  My cats are very curious, but we do not let them bother her.  Minou is a senior citizen kitty, so she gets her own room.

I have the weekend off, so I am so happy!  We will probably start "phase two" of thank you note writing.  It will be nice to have that finished.
