The New Car

Yes ladies and gentlemen, we bought a new car....more of a need than anything. The big Aztek which you see the tail end of, was just too bulky and drank too much gas to drive on the curvy, stop and go streets of Clearwater Beach. So we bought a 2006 Honda Civic (which by the way is Motor Trend's Car of the Year! I love it for many reasons:
1. It is blue, my and Little One's favorite color!
2. It is sporty!
3. It has a moon roof!
4. It did not cost too much!

Sorry for the pic quality it was taken with my camera phone.

I will take a pic of the dashboard so you can see that it is blue too!!

Blog ya later!

Work

Saturday was a good day, I worked. Why you ask is she saying it was a good day when she worked well let me tell you!

Friday.....Sucked! It was by far my worst day EVER. I will not go into the details because I really do not choose to relive that day ever again. But I will tell you how it ended....I fell flat on my face tripping on my Hope Chest that I just recently moved to the end of my bed. Enough said.

Saturday..... I started work at 8:30, I learned more about my boss and how intelligent and talented he is, ( he came up with the ads for Calvin Klein in the mid-late 80's for Obession, Eternity and CKone. His wife, Inna took me out to breakfast, I showed a $2.3 million dollar penthouse, ALL BY MYSELF, (of course I could not comment on anything relating to the penthouse b/c I am not a licensed Realtor) but I did comment on how BEAUTIFUL it was!!! I met the women who wrote the book/movie White Oleander, (a very good movie, see it if you haven't) she is very down to earth and someone you would like to share a bottle of wine with one night. And I found my way around a different condo by myself. This day really helped me to gain my confidence back after the horror of Friday.

So far I have blisters on both of my heels, I did find 2 pairs of shoes at Sears, but I think I still need to invest in better ones, that will have to wait. I bought some more dress pants b/c I feel more confident in them than in my skirts at least for now. Still need to find a bigger purse, I hate shopping for all of this stuff but I find it is something I need not want.

All in all I love my new job, it will take a little while longer for me to get better adjusted to the quick pace but that will come. Still thanking the Lord for my blessing of a great job every day!

A long awaited resting place.

Today Little One and I witnessed my Cousin's vault with casket inside being disinterned. It was a somber moment, odd moment, sad moment and along with all of those emotions a happy moment to know her remains were going back to Georgia to be near her family. I felt like one of the final pages in her chapter were being written. Tomorrow she will be laid to rest in Georgia at 10am, I wish I could be there.

Hubby and I were talking about how odd it is that we were brought down to Clearwater and how this moment came out of the blue (even though it has been discussed for years), it just seems we were meant to be here at this moment in time!

Love to all my family my thoughts and prayers are with you.

**I did take some pictures with my camera phone you can click on the Flikr box down on the right side of my blog (lauratooblog.blogspot.com) if you would like to see them.

My Boobs.. Whats UP?????

How do your boobs loose weight when you are not?? I was at JCPenney last night and was fitted for a bra b/c I thought I was wearing the wrong size and sure enough I was.... About 6 months ago I was a B cup now I am an A cup.......WHAT? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN???!!!

Now I know I have not lost any weight but I have been able to maintain my current weight.

Hubby says he is ok with this. Me? I'm not!! :(

New Job

Well my first 2 days of my new job was exciting and busy!! (Note: Must find good shoes!!)

Another up side to my new job is I didn't look at the time until it was time for me to go and pick up Little One!!

I saw properties that were amazing and interesting. I will try to take pics if I can and upload them. The Realtor I am working for is available 17 hours a day!! So he is at work way before I get there and stays at work way after I leave, I don't see how he does it, but he does it.

New Beginnings

Today was the last day of work for me at The Grande on Sand Key, tomorrow I start a new, exciting, scary, stressful, on-call job working for the most successful realtor on Sand Key. I will be his assistant and will be doing everything from opening condo units for him or other brokers to show, running business and personal errands, placing ads of units for sale in the local/national magazines and newspapers, basically ensuring he has all his bases covered in the office so he can continue to outsell all others! WOW, I am so nervous and mostly anxious about the next few months I can't even describe my feelings. I will have no time at work to blog or check my email like in the previous boring job. I will miss hopping on the net during the day, mostly I will be checking blogs and emails later on at night.

I trained my replacement to the best of my abilities, I said my good-bye's and I am off on a new and exciting adventure, I will keep you posted!
