Sooo car shopping did not go as planned yesterday. Basically the offer that they put on the table was way off what we originally expected to pay on the car. And not to mention they lowered the price 800.00 within 8 hours of us going to the dealership. So the pricing they gave us to take to our credit union to finance was incredibly bloated.

However Leland's dad has a friend who wants to sell his 2007 pt cruiser. And while I never thought I'd like a pt cruiser, the more I'm looking at the photos of the interior/exterior of the vehicle, I'm digging the uber retro feel of it. Not to mention the 8 feet of cargo space and stellar safety ratings. So it's definitely something we'll be looking into.

Listening to John Mayer is depressing. Not so much the music, but the fact is that man can play the freaking guitar better than pretty much anyone. I mean, How the hell do you even come close to attaining that?

In other news. I'd probably have his babies.

Leland and I are going car shopping tomorrow to see if we can replace the the fallen satty. I'm sad to put the old girl down. It's given me a good nine years and if the transmission would have lasted, It probably would have given me 9 more.

Next weekend we'll also be making our way to south Florida for a strikeforce fight. We found out today that one of Leland's favorite fighters is signing autographs at the weigh in. I'm pretty sure he's being crying man-tears of joy all day.

I've also been trying to make good on my New years resolutions. We bought wii active and it's been collectively kicking our butts. I've also been whipping up some awesome healthy meals, and learning some new cooking techniques. Ever heard of braising? You should try it.

I know, I've ignored this thing way too long.

We bought a new house and are renovating, so my time has been really tied up in that.
However, One of my goals for the year was to start blogging more, even if it's menial.

And since this is my first post for the new year, I'm going to start off with some of my goals, which I'll probably put in the sidebar and try to cross them out when I'm done to keep me motivated. It's the small things. :)

1. I'd like to start cooking more. And refining what I already cook to be healthier for Leland and I both.

2. I'd like to start an exercise program of some sort and stick with it. Even if I don't lose weight, I want to make more time to be active.

3. finish the woman cave and the master bedroom/bath remodel.

4. Go to NYC this fall! And colorado this winter for snow.

5. Read at least a 100 books before 12-31-10


I think the hardest part of the whole thing will probably be #5. I'm so picky with what I read. I have a bad habit of reading and re-reading my existing collection. But with the kindle and my new ebook community, hopefully It'll give me plenty of options :)
