My New Ride, New Job

I am now facing having to share my Nissan Altima with my teen-aged daughter who will receive her Drivers Licence next Month,....so to make things easier I decided to get myself a new car and let her use my Nissan when she needs it....Also what helped me make the decision is that she is working 20+ hrs a week and I also just got a new Full time Job and Im not going to be available to get her to and from School and work so now she will have her own car to get where she needs to be...and help with getting Whitney from school.....
I Bought a New Saab ....Im a Nissan Girl but Im Loving the Saab. It talks to you! it is loaded with all sorts of new things im still trying to get use to and still trying to figure some out like...
On*Star, the navigation,memory seats....Love it, its been chilly here in the morning and the Heated seats are AMAZING~I tried taking a pic of the interior but didn't come out so well so I got this one off the Internet to give you an idea..... Love this car! My Favorite by far...

I have been entertaining about going back to work full time or going back to school and I looked at a few places for work and one day one was offered to me as I was only there for a purchase for myself, Im a frequent customer and jokingly they said you should work here....and once I thought about it....I applied and had 2 intense interviews and was Hired for the Sales floor position and 4 months of Jewel and Gem training. here at Amidon Jewelers ,

there is once coming closer to my area and will train for the Managers Position to run the new store....so this means I got to go on a few Dress Clothes Shopping Spree! fancy Shoes, fancy clothes and they offer a generous discount to employees and allow us to borrow amazing Jewelry to wear as we work to advertise....how much better can this get? Love it

Friends are Awesome...especially.........

Especially....BLOG FRIENDS

Yep when I learned Leah was in Boston Ma on a business trip I took no time driving the 1 1/2 hr trip to see her! we met up at the Airport seeing how she was pressed for time so we went to a little restaurant in the airport sipped on Yummy Pumpkin Beer rimmed with cinnamon and sugar and snacking on hummus and veggies....Leah is so sweet I wish we had more time to catch up but she had a place to catch and Whitney was eager to get on the road to hot up the American Girl Doll Place..and the Cheesecake Factory for dinner, Brad even made the trip along with us...it was a long day for him and the poor guy was tired but he was a trooper and said he really enjoyed himself....Poor Tori had to work, she called in 2 times last week so her chance to take the day off was slim...she was bummed but she knows that work comes first....

Our last good bye as she headed to her gate to fly back to Denver Co home to her missed Puggies Daisy and Oscar.....

we are hoping to meet up again in NYC in February....Fun times ahead!

welcome to the sick house

We have been hit with the flu...ive been hit the hardest....Luckily Brad hasn't been here to catch it but Im going on my 5th week with a chest cold that now has led to Pneumonia, for the past 5 weeks ive had the head/chest cold, cough, fever....Ive been in bed straight the last 2 days, the Pugs are all snuggled in with me and never leave my side. They must love having me home sick.

whitney missed 3 days of school last week with the flu and a 103.+fever but managed to make up all her homework and and thrilled to say She made HIGH HONORS 2 A's and 3 B's! she was rewarded with a new cell phone ( touch screen like she wanted)

Tori just got hit with the beginning stages of the flu, she has been sleeping on the couch all afternoon with tissues and cough-drops...hope it passes soon. she just started Drivers Ed and she doesnt want to miss any of the classes....or miss any of her hours as a cashier at a local grocery store. Tori has changed schools and her new school is only 3 hrs a day all week, she is doing great in her new school and has already shown a big improvement so she also was rewarded with a new cell phone of her choice....
