The Mummy Mobile


Well, here it is... the new Mummy Mobile... my new zippy little 2005 Ford Escape - after days and days of looking around and finding nothing but overpriced cars... I was to the point of complaining and whining to Mike... when we came across this little puppy... it is basically like a cream puff... I can't really pick anything about it... I drove it today... it is so different then my last car... an Astro Van... a car in which I felt sad to lose cause that was the one I learnt to drive in when in America... it was like my security blanket but still... I am glad I got this... this was the 2nd car on my wish list... my #3 car was a Jeep Liberty... my first though was a #1 Toyota Rav 4... one day I will maybe get one of those... until now... I am very happy with my little car and already my tripod for my camera has taken pride of place - just in case I need it when out taking happy snaps... in the back... the window opens but so does the door... Guess I will be living poor for a while... looking forward to the next batch of referrals though to see what is going on and how far they go... I am guessing that by October 2009 - worst case scenario that we will have our referral... for now... just sit and wait - still...
32The other day Mike and I were standing outside and this is what we saw... these huge and disgusting big clouds just rolling in... yep, Summer is here... the afternoon thunderstorms that Florida is known for...

20 pearls of wisdom:

You don't have that much longer. I dreamt about a week ago that referrals covered up to the 24th, that's over a week, so we will see.
I miss our van, one day we will get it back we had a 2007 Honda Odyssey and it was loaded. And i'm not a van person either.
Take Care
