Or my big ass SUV will get you! Yep, Brian and I bought the JEEP Patriot this weekend and it is so completely awesome!! I love it, love it, love it!! My JEEP is a deep steel blue so it's not as bright as this picture but thanks to Costco I was able to get this puppy for under invoice and got a ton more features then the car I test drove last weekend. I love Costco! If you are in the market to buy a new car check out their car buying program. I also love State Farm. I thought my insurance was going to go way up but thanks to multi-policies my new car is only a hundred bucks more than the old hunk of junk (which is being donated to charity). I was soooo very pleased this morning. I never really cared about cars but I must say I am in love with the new vehicle. I can't believe I own something so pretty.
Besides buying the car, Brian and I worked more on our den. It's very exciting to see all our craft projects come to light! Brian made a molding/shelving thing about 3/4 of the way up to the ceiling. We painted the bottom color a light grey and the top part white. We took pictures of all of our friends and put them on the ledges all around the room. This weekend we added our clocks. We have 1 clock for each of our 5 favorite places in the world. Slowly but surely the house is shaping up. The house looks even better with the new JEEP parked in front of it.
Sunday afternoon we went to Staples Center to watch THE KINGS vs THE WINGS. I had an extra pair of tickets so I invited fellow Michigander, El Jefe and his new lady friend, Robyn. When we arrived I had a gut feeling I'd run into Krueger and sure enough I looked up and there was Krueger standing right in front of me. It was a fun reunion with all my Michigan buds.
Also went and saw ELIZABETH with Rhonda and her movie club on Friday. I loved all the costumes in the film and all the great lines. This time around the movie tended to be a bit Hollywood-y but overall, it was still enjoyable to watch in my opinion
(you know if you like history and all). They are a fun group to hang out with. They have been together for years and watch movies every Friday night. Yep, they haven't missed a week in 20 years! I have gone a few times before and it fun to grab dinner and discuss the film afterward and see how 10 different people saw 10 different things at the same movie.
Hung out with a bunch of editors Saturday afternoon at a Pub near our old house. The hubby had a smoozefest thing to go to. I got to meet the famous Rob. Also, had the best beer of my life. The hubby went to the bar and brought me back liquid gold goodness. Cold glass, smooth taste, refreshing. Maybe it was because I had spent the morning stressing over signing the car paperwork?
Finally saw, Jane Austen's Book Club and totally loved it! wasn't sure if it was going to be good and it was.I love going to movies thinking its a chore and then discovering its one of the best films you've seen in a while. The film totally made me want to start a book club.
Tomorrow, sushi with party girl, Ms. Sam.
