Easter Weekend

Nothing that I have done today is cool, or exciting. So I am going to focus on the weekend.

We have a neighborhood Easter egg hunt tomorrow that starts at 10:30. It should be fun, we are going to have around 450 eggs for the kids to find. There are going to be three age groups; 1 - 3 years, 3 - 7 years, and 7 -10 years. Breckin is in the first group. It should be fun. After that we have a neighborhood BBQ to attend, which should be a good time. Everyone plans on bringing their BBQs out front and grilling up some grub.

I also am taking Tiki to the groomers to get her nails clipped and bathed. I hope it goes well for her, she could use it. We have a tax appointment at that afternoon as well. Then a quite evening at home decorating eggs for the real Easter.

Easter morning we are going to be going to brunch at the golf course. That should be fun.

With everything that is happening this weekend, hopefully I get some time to cross off some honey-dos.

Goodbye Old & Busted, Hello New Hotness

Well, it's was an interesting weekend. My wife and I bought two new cars. Her car was quite old and she really needed one. I needed to trade in my Acura so that I could get a cheaper car so that we could afford it so there you have it. We went out on Sunday morning to look at her car first. We ended up getting her a Saturn Vue. Not a bad a car and, as I discovered later, Saturns are very easy to buy. Once we finished up there we parted ways so that Breckin she could get Breckin home.

I went to the Jeep dealership with Rob, where it was a totally different ball game. The negotiations were definetly different (Saturn doesn't negotiate on price). I finally left the dealership feeling like I was getting a decent deal. I ended up buying a Jeep Patriot.

I will never buy more than one car in one day again.

Since then, we both love our cars. Both get very good gas mileage and are comfortable enough to drive long distances (look out Granny here we come.) I can finally go to the hardware store again without wondering how the heck I am going to get something home.
