QOTD: my first car was an 82 VW Quantum. If you shut it off you had to wait at least 20 minutes before you could restate it and one of the doors was a different blue then the rest of the car. Only a couple shades of but never noticeable. That car didn't last long before it died. My 2nd car was one of my favorite cars though it was an 87 ford Taurus w/ manual transmission. All my friends hated to drive it but I loved that the clutch was a little stiff. I have loved diving a manual since and miss it. It is so hard to find one now a days with out special ordering.0

Okay! RANDOM QOTD! What was your FIRST car??
)
My first car was a very sexy tan buick century. :ohwell: It was falllllling apart. Not only was it used when my parents bought it, but my older brother & sister had driven it for a few years & had added in their own dents...but after driving it for only 3 months I was rear ended and the car was completely totaled...so on the first day of my senior year in high school I got to pick out a new car with my dad! We brought home MY first car [since nobody else in my family had abused it I considered it solely mine] which was a green pontiac grand prix. It was smokin' :glasses: :laugh:0 -
QOTD: my first car was a 1982 Ford Granada that I received as a graduation gift from my grandparents. I grew up in this car, taking trips with them up to Minnesota every summer, and it was very special to me. It was very plush with a huge trunk and comfy seats and had a 22 gallon gas tank, power locks, power windows, rear defrost, cruise, (all of which was totally unheard of for a 1982 vehicle) and a steering wheel that was made out of HARD plastic that never got too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. I absolutely hated giving up this car, but it had over 250,000 miles on it when I got rid of it and I was still commuting 90 miles a day so I needed something newer. I have yet to have a car that I liked as much as I did this one....
My parents had a granada when I was growing up. It was grey with red interior. My sister's first car was it's counter part a Mecury Zephyer. She hated that thing sooo much called it the banana as it was banana yellow.0 -
QOTD:
WELL.........the first car I drove was our family car- I believe a 95 Ford escort wagon. It was awesome. When I was in high school, "cruising the loop" was the cool thing to do, and my friends and I would use window paint to write WAGON on the windshield. We're cool right. One night I let my brother who wasn't old enough to drive, take "my" car while I was at work to take home a friend. His friend drove it, slid on the ice going too fast and ran into another car, totalling the other car and badly denting ours. It drove for a few years after that, but by my birthday, I used my entire savings to buy myself a 94 Grand Am that I eventually crashed and totalled, and the bad luck with cars never really ended. I drive around my '03 Ford Windstar proudly---dents and all.

OF COURSE YOU ARE COUNTING!!!!!!) How could you not!!!
Plans this weekend anyone? I'm really hoping to enjoy my time with my men. Last weekend was miserable recovering from that awful surgery and then immediately getting sick so it was a complete blur. I'm hosting a small fundraiser tomorrow but other then that I have a fairly free weekend. I'm think I will probably have one other fundraiser related meeting but that may hold off until Monday.) 0 -
Well tonight I'm doing C25K W5D3, Getting a movie to watch with my kiddos, and then enjoying a glass of wine and maybe watching a movie all by my lonesome. Tomorrow, I really wanted to go to my brother's wrestling meet, but not with 3 kiddos. I was also hoping to go to Winter games, but that won't happen either. So quite possibly, cleaning the house, doing a workout, and I'm not really sure what else. Being bored I guess. Sunday, DAN COMES HOME. Although, I don't know when. Bahaha. So we'll see once what happens! Boring schmoring over here.0

I'm hoping to spend the weekend relaxing with my boys, recovering from my cold and going through boxes of paper and junk so that I can finish my decluttering project soon. I'm really hoping it does not snow so that my husband can be home for the weekend and he can give me a much needed sleep in. I would love to get up around 10 or 11 on Saturday morning!0

To answer yesterday's QOTD:
I still have my first car! It's a 1997 Nissan Altima that I got when I was 16 from my parents, and now that I"m 24 and gainfully employed, it won't be sticking around much longer. It is in great shape tho, only 75K miles on it and I've done some work so it's running well. I'm gonna hold out til the end of this year and then get myself a really nice gently used car. I've been saving money every paycheck to put towards a down payment on a new one, by the end of the year I'll have saved enough.
I'm in Richmond, VA for my cousin's wedding this weekend! Lots of fun and food and stuff, I just have to keep it under control. Luckily I've upped my calories so I shouldn't be too bad if I don't pig out, it's just the drinks that get me. I'll just try to eat more protein and avoid the million appetizer trays.0 -
Plans = 21st birthday celebrations. I know it seems counterproductive, but I am not going to count a single calorie until ....probably dinner tomorrow, if not Sunday breakfast. I KNOW that I'm going to consume a ton of extra calories and sugar, but I am right now giving myself permission to do so, and Sunday will begin a recovery program. I almost feel guilty, but...come on, it's a 21st, it only happens once, and I'm not going to dampen my enjoyment of this "rite of passage" by trying to be too sensible and moderate. So here goes - wish me hangover-free mornings!0

Bump for later0

QOTD: Well shock of all shocks I am going shopping again this weekend. Outlets again. This time mainly just going for my opinion and to spend time with the girls. I have 3 things I want to look for a red cardigan, black jeggings, and some make up at bare escentuals.0
-
Ooh you all have such lovely lives lol!
Raenicoll- I would LOVE to sleep in that late, however, I'm thinking it won't happen until my kids are old enough to get their own breakfast lol!
Sara- Have fun at the weddings!
Shinemarie-Your birthday???? If so ENJOY IT AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY! If not--pass along the message! HAHAHA!
Ruth- SO jealous! I need a shopping trip. Desperately. Post pics if you get your outfit. I'd love to see it!
I'm sipping some moscato and watching "It's Complicated" all by myself. It's rather relaxing. Night Randoms!0 -
Happy Birthday Shinemarie!
I had to cancel the shopping trip as I had the worst headache this morning. i am going to rest today and maybe get a work out in this evening.0 -
This morning I slept in until 9am, then had some coffee & talked to my daddy awhile on the phone. He has pneumonia :sick: but it was nice to talk to him and catch up for a bit. Then Drew & I went grocery shopping because all we had left in our house was 2 eggs, some pasta shells and goldfish crackers! haha :laugh: This afternoon one of my best friends is coming over to play games & watch a movie and then tonight I will be heading to the gym. Hope everyone is having a terrific weekend!!!!0

QOTD: What's your favorite book? And give us the short version on what it's about.0
-
Well.......I have MANY. One of the most recent ones I read was called "Love you Mean it" by 4 widows from 9-11. It's an AMAZING memoir.
I also love anything written by Jen Lancaster. She is f-ing hilarious. Talk about sarcasm and humor. She's got it.
Happy Monday everyone!0 -
Back from my wedding weekend in Richmond, VA! My cousin had a beautiful wedding and I had entirely too much to drink... hahahaha. I actually did keep the eating in check this weekend, but I was drinking on Friday night, drank a TON at the wedding (too much, so didn't feel well afterwards), and had two beers and dinner last night with Randy. Sooo... this week my focus is good workouts and sufficient amounts of healthy food.
QOTD: Hmmm... all time favorite book... it's hard to pick just one! I'm a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter books. I LOVE Wicked by Gregory Maguire (the book the musical is based off of). I'm a fan of Dan Brown (Da Vinci Code). I also really like the Shopaholic series by Sophia Kinsella. Sooo... those are my picks, I can't choose one of them!0 -
I couldn't pick just one book, so I'll name a few. The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks is a guilty pleasure, as is The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Harry Potter is enjoyable, and so are books like The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.0
-
Sorry I haven't been around lately.
QOTD: I don't have 1 favorite book I do have favorite authors though. Johanna Lindsey - I love her anthologys of historical romances. Julia Quinn - Makes me laugh. Janet Evanovich - Another one that makes me laugh and I want Stephanie with Ranger. There are a bunch more but those are my current ones.0 -
It would be impossible for me to pick one book/author/series/genre as my favorite! I've been a voracious reader since I was 3, I'll read anything I can get my hands on. I love the Captain Underpants series and I just finished World War Z (SDB, I think it may have been better than the Survival Guide!). I even named my son after a character in a book :bigsmile:
I hate it when they make books into movies because they just never compare to the book.0 -
