New and exciting things in my life these days. Finally away from New York. I haven't missed it yet. But I'm really happy out here. I get to meet new people and if I don't want to meet new people, I can just keep to myself. I don't have to worry about running into people I don't want to see. I ran into my ex-boyfriend from the 8th grade, right before I left. He's still a bit strange. Always was. Thank god I had good sense to drop him. He just wasn't the right one. But then I was only 13 years old. Sorry Manuel dear.

So being out here has been fun so far. We've been spending a lot of money this past month. :( But we'll pay it all off shortly. I start my new job in two weeks. I'm excited. New people, new faces and a new position with more money. Not that much, but more.

What's exciting for me today is....I'll be buying my very first car today. Back in New York I never cared for one. I use to walk everywhere for everything. New York is a great place to live without a car. The train was in every direction. The bus was too. And then the grocery store was down a couple of blocks and if you didn't want to go there, you could just walk to your corner store. And while you were at it, you would play lotto for 2 bucks. :)

So for months I had my eye on a certain car. While walking to the train, I would see the car sitting there and I'd look at it and say to myself that I wanted it. But then there was the VW GTI. I was wondering if I should go for that instead. It's so nice. I love the inside. Leather everything. :) While driving this car, I got to experience it's fast. And it was quite fast. So fast that I said it wasn't for me. But the car I will buy today is fast too. But I don't think it's as fast as the GTI. After test driving the other car, I felt comfortable in it while I drove it. And that's important. In the GTI, I didn't feel as secure as I did in the other car. So I was sold. Of course, I was sold on other things. But in trying to keep it simple, I went all out and added the leather and all the other goodies that didn't come with it if I went with the cheaper version. But in the end, it was still affordable. Thanks to Tomas' ability to haggle with the sales man. We got the car for less than their invoice price. I hear this is good, yes? ha ha ha. I'm happy. It's a brand new 2007....I'll post the photo up later. :)

Well, I should go back to bed and enjoy the time I have off before I go back to work. I'm sure I'll be leaving home around 7 to get to work at 8. I'm not sure what time I'll pick, as I have 3 time options to start. I just have to figure out the traffic since I'll be driving to work now. Wow and to think how easy it was in New York to just ride the train to work. N or the R train to Times Square and I'd walk up the stairs and there was my job, right on the corner. Ahh...those were the days.......that I should don't miss. At least not yet. Stay tuned as I come back to talk to you about life on the road.

It won't be til this evening that I'll go get the car. Meanwhile we'll be sorting out the car insurance and figure out who I'm going with. That's exciting too. Trying to get the cheapest rate. All this is new to me. Wow and to think all these years how far I've walked for things.
