Zoom Zoom
Yesterday morning I woke up at 7. I set my alarm for that, because I was having Caitlin over at 9. Our plan: to go pick up my new car :) Well, its not NEW NEW, its an '04 Mazda 3 hatchback. When I got up, I had some breakfast, took a shower, and then headed outside to clean out the Dodge Neon rental car that I had. When my Ford Taurus was ( Read more... ) -
Got My 3.
Last night, Caitlin drove all the way down from Manchester to come see me, and to go car shopping with me. First stop was Seacoast Mazda. We were there probably for about an hour to an hour and a half. I test drove a Mazda 3 with Caitlin. We both liked it. I wasn't sure if I could swing the payments or not, so I told the guy I'd have to think ( Read more... ) -
Total Loss
So I found out yesterday that my car was a total loss. It will cost more to fix the car than it is worth. It was estimated at $3,362.38 worth of damage. Between yesterday and today, all I've been thinking is cars. I had to sign my car over to Progressive (my insurance company), and now I'm on the hunt for a new car. I am going to buy a used ( Read more... ) -
2006 = A Year Of Bad Luck?
This year has not proven to be very good for me so far. Case in point... tonight I got into a car accident. It snowed all day long here in Maine/NH, and on the way home, (only about 20 minutes away from home, mind you) I hit a slushy section of road. My rear tires start to slide off to the left of the road, catch the loose snow, and my car is ( Read more... ) -
What I did this weekend.
Yesterday I spent the day with Caitlin. I wanted to run down to Fire On The Mountain in Dover, NH to drop off my skis for waxing/sharpening. We went there and dropped them off. After that, Caitlin wanted to go to Red's Shoe Barn to see if she could get a new pair of good walking shoes, for college. All that walking around on campus, you need to ( Read more... ) -
Carpet is finally in!
Yesterday, my parents took the day off because we were having the flooring company coming over to install new carpet in the living room, dining room, and the steps/hallway up to my bedroom. The night before, I had to help my father move the heavy stuff out of the dining room, because they were going to start there. We moved my mother's big hutch ( Read more... ) -
I miss my girl, Happy Birthday Daddy - O
It's been a couple of days now without Caitlin around. Its been long enough for me. You really do realize how much someone means to you and how you adore their presence once they are gone. But I do know this is for the best. She's completing her degree, which is extremely important, and I back her 100%. We have been keeping in contact ( Read more... ) -
Caitie's Moved In
Today was move in day for my girlfriend Caitlin at SNHU in Manchester, NH. I got up around 7a, got ready, went out and cleaned my car off (because we got some sleet/snow/rain last night... and got ready to go. I was at her place around 8:30a. When I got there, her parents were having a bite to eat for breakfast. I helped her pack up some last ( Read more... ) -
Trip To SNHU
On a much more serious note, tomorrow is the day that Caitlin moves to Manchester, NH for college. She's going for her jr. year to complete her bachelor's degree for Hospitality Management. I'm driving up with her in her car, and her parents are coming in their car. All her packed stuff will be unloaded, and then I'm coming back home with her ( Read more... ) -
P is for Poor Performance
Hey... nice going Pats. You guys really came out to play today. All I can say is Denver deserved that win, and a chance to make the Superbowl. I'm going with them all the way. (You gotta go with the team that beats your own team out!) But honestly, I think Indianapolis is going to win Super Bowl XL ( Read more... )
