A very busy last few days...

A few twists, turns, developments and joyful events over the past few days, and in the great scheme of things I feel much clearer on where I'm heading goal-wise now.  Not to spend too much time explaining everything, because I'm not sure I could at this point, let's just say that despite not feeling well life is moving at a forward pace and with a lot less bumps right now.  I'll consider this a very good thing.

One of the funnest and most exciting events over the weekend was picking up Sigmund C. Monster at the dealership.  Love at first site... is the only way to explain. :D  It's a bittersweet event, getting this car, because I'm going to miss driving a manual, but at least Sigmund has paddle shifters to make that a little easier to accept.  But seriously, all jokes aside, this is one majorly beautiful car, AND it's a cabrio... which means I can put the top down on the warm days, or even choose the 'sun roof' option which brings the top back in the front a little ways.  I'm really looking forward to that.  And to be honest, those of you who know me know I hate hats etc, so when I say I'm going to wear a scarf.... yep, that's a bit of a surprise.  Wearing a scarf is a lot better than having my hair/bangs smacking me in the eyes the whole time. lol  I can deal.

So it was a ton of fun picking up my new MINI S... and my motoring advisor gave me a bag of goodies, which was unexpected.  And... another lovely surprise is that the welcome light on the driver's side... is a MINI logo!  I was so surprised and happy about that welcome light that I forgot to take a pic. haha  I'll get a pic of that one night, though.

While it was FREEZING cold (something I'm not particularly fond of AT ALL) we pulled out of the dealership lot about sunset and drove home in the dark.  Now leaving, I have to admit, it took a minute to stop pushing my left foot to the floor and looking for the clutch. ;p  Only happened twice, and I'm pretty much over that now.  I'm looking SO forward to taking a fun drive with the top down.  See?  Lots of lovely things to look forward to.

As far as other live events, I'm going to save that for another post, and hopefully I will be doing that after visiting my other blogs and making a few relevant entries there.
