New Wheels, Finally

Finally, after being about six months overdue, I finally have a new set of wheels. I bought a '07 Pontiac G6, 4-door GT this past weekend. Although it's not black, it's blue (Electric Blue Metallic to be exact) and has 17" chrome wheels, panoramic 4 panel sunroof, 6 disc CD player, remote start, the works. The weather hasn't been too great this weekend, so I haven't had a chance to take a few photos to post online. Sometime this week, for sure.

Also, on the Swarovski front, Cindy was able to pick up the two member annual edition pieces that she wanted, so she was happy about that. We have no more room for everything in her collection, so we went out and found a very nice curio cabinet on Friday and will be picking it up this week. We have to shuffle a few things around in our living room to fit it in, but as we're getting that ready, the plan is to take photos and catalog everything in her collection so we can put them online here at the sight. That will likely take awhile, especially on top of my growing list of todos already.

That's pretty much it for now. I'll trying to run off thumbnail preview pages for all 2,700 photos from our Maui trip so we can go through those and figure out which ones to print at Walgreens, only about 2 months after our trip. We also need to pick out and order which photos we want to use for wall photos from both our '06 and '07 trips, as well as transfer the '07 photos to our digital picture frame. The problem with all of this is that is makes us miss Maui even more, but it's still fun to relive those memories.

That's all for now. I'll post the photos of the new car once I have them.

Busy, busy, busy

There's never enough time, ever.

It's been pretty crazy the last few weeks; work's been nuts, money was tight for awhile, and I was starting to get a little overwhelmed with everything I wanted to do but didn't have time for. But my vodka from Maui came last week, so that helped with the stress a little bit.


Halloween passed, nothing too exciting there. I've been meaning to check out some photos online of the Halloween in Lahaina celebration that takes place, which is said to be like Mardi Gras. From what I've seen photos of in the past, it looked like fun, but I was also reading recently that they're trying to crack down on some of it, so who knows.

The upcoming week looks to be fun, which will be a nice change of pace. I might actually get to start looking for a new car in person, rather than just visiting car sites. At this point next week, I could have a new set of wheels, so that will definitely be something to write about.

Other than that, we're off to Woodfield today to get another member piece at Swarovski again, this time it's one of the big ones. That will pretty much do it for space in Cindy's small curio cabinet that she keeps this in, so we'll probably be buying another curio soon as well. I told her than when she buys the next cabinet and we have to move everything, I'd take pictures of all her pieces and post them to our website. She currently has over 20 pieces in her collection, so that should be a decent sized section on the site.

That's about all for now. As I mentioned, there's a lot to do, so I can't spend too much time writing here.

Aloha.
