New Car? Maybe?

So the hubbers, being a total guy, is constantly looking at new cars. He loves off-roading and wants a Jeep Wrangler to use for play. We can afford one right now. His parents just gave us their Ford Expedition for him to use since we need 2 cars now. But eventually, I keep promising, we'll get him his Wrangler. So since that's his dream car, he's constantly looking at Jeep.com. He calls me today and suggests trading in our Liberty for a new Compass. I was like ehhhh, we'll see. But he told me to look at it (the last one he showed me I hated so I said no. lol). And I want it. Mostly because of the color, but it isn't too different from the Liberty, looks wise. So I said if we can finance it to where the monthly payment is the same as our current payment, or as long as it doesn't skyrocket. So here it is, we'll go test drive one when he gets home. But I refuse any other color lol.

What do you think?

Rambling. Just Rambling.

So I went found some pictures of Farrah Fawcett and I was going to start hunting down some of David Carradine and Billy Mays to make a blend of them like I did for MJ. Buuuut low and behold, when I open my Photoshop, it doesn't work anymore. Boo. I just need to go out and buy it. But, for those of you who don't know, Photoshop is like $200+. I could buy Corel's Paint Shop Pro for $60 when I have the money, that's what I used to use, but I've finally got used to Photoshop and there are a few edits that Photoshop is better for than Pain Shop. Ugh. Oh well.

So today, I went to JC Penneys (again, for those of you who don't know, that's where I worked before Adam deployed) for the 4th time since I've gotten back to Colorado. I don't know what's more sad, the fact that its my 4th time and I still spent at least an hour in there talking to old co-workers or that I made one of the girls call LP because I spotted suspicious people...and then when Donnie (the head LP guy) said he was already watching them and hung up, he called back, asked if I was the one who told them to call and told her to tell me good job. Lmao. (Little background on LP and me: I love getting people busted. And the juniors department where I worked was a hot spot because of the location of the fitting room. So I was constantly calling LP to make sure they were watching when I saw suspicious people. I once called when they weren't in office about these girls and I got Donnie on the walkie talkie and told him to go to the office and watch, turns out these girls would have gotten away with about $425 worth of stuff. So anyway, LP loves me and would love it if I returned because apparently since I left, they get maybe 2 calls a month if they are lucky. But these people were messing with the ink tags on some of the clothes and all together just looked and acted suspicious). But what's truly sad is the fact that the girl I told to call LP had never called them before, and she had just started when I left, about 10 1/2 months ago....

So anyway, I got Lilian a new floaty toy for the pool today. She loves the pool. And I need a coffee table or something because Lili has knocked my sweet tea over on the floor for the second time today....

First Blog!

So I've been wanting to make a blogspot for a while, but I'm really bad at updating them. Usually I make blogs when I'm pissed off because sometimes writing about it is a good escape for me. I want to keep one updated often for friends and family that we don't live near us. So I will do my best to update on Lilian and (for now) Adam's homecoming. But I'm not making any promises that it will be regular, I'm just promising to try.

Anyway, a week from today my baby girl will be 8 months old...already! Time is flying, which sucks because before we know it, she'll be in school, dating, getting married, having her own babies, then they'll have their own babies. Agh. But its also good, because its making this deployment fly by. Adam *should* be home in August. But they keep changing their minds and of course OPSEC doesn't allow exact dates. I love OPSEC just for the fact that it keeps our men safe, but damnit, I want an exact date!!!!!! We still aren't sure whats going to happen when Adam gets back. His contract is up in August 2010. He was going to try for warrant officer school, but during his physical today, they told him one of his eyes is 20/60 (and of course, in the Army you have to be perfect to get any good opportunity) and that even laser eye surgery wouldn't correct it enough. So for now, we are just saying "wait and see what the economy is like in a year from now." If its still pretty bad, he'll stay in. But if Obama can do some good damage control by then, he'll be getting out (YAY!).

So, thats about it for my first blog. I would just like to say that I'm thankful I'm not famous this week. FOUR celebrities have passed in the last five days. Ed McMahon (RIP June 23rd), Farrah Fawcet and Michael Jackson (both RIP June 25th) and Billy Mays--the Oxiclean guy who likes to yell at us (RIP June 28th). We can make it a bad month by mentioning David Carradine (RIP June 4th).

Here are a few things that I have made for Michael. Maybe later today I will make some for the other celebs mentioned. (You can click on them to make them larger.)

I know MJ has two other siblings, but I couldn't find pictures of them together, which makes me sad because I think this one turned out better than the other one, but it just doesn't feel complete without them. Oh well.

Off to the pool when Lilian wakes up from her nap.
