i'm on a rollercoaster but i'm on my feet

big day today - bought a new vehicle.

went with the Dodge Journey - seemed to suit our needs (three rows) and budget best. its black and its shiny and its new it has good fuel economy for its size and its got all the safety stuff. only pet peeve is that visibility out the back window isn't super but i'm kind of used to blocked views with all the junk we seem to haul around.

now we have to get rid of the Cobalt. we're going to use Leasebusters so keep your fingers crossed.

second is that i registered for two courses towards a residential design certificate. i'm doing decor elements from Sept - Oct and home staging from Nov to Dec. both seem fairly light so i thought it might be a good way to ease into it and who knows - maybe i can get into the whole staging thing sooner than later.

i'm excited to get going.

got the first coat of paint on the family room today - i guess i got a second wind.

well, i should get to bed. Jay works tomorrow...
