Firstly I am officially an adult and purchased a brand new car - a Kia Sorrento on the first of September. That was a stressful day - my little Ford Escort was dying a slow and undignified death, and my parents were tired of me complaining about it. So my mom flew down from Albuquerque to help me in the wasp's nest that is a new car lot - and I signed the paperwork (surprisingly) on my own credit. That was something that I didn't quite understand: I have beautiful credit yes, but I make very little dough - much of which goes to my rent. If I were them I wouldn't approve myself without a co-signer, but they trust me. I guess I should learn to trust myself...
Then later that week, on the 6th, my laptop died. I kept getting an error message that was a blue screen on the start-up, and wouldn't even go into Windows. I must admit I haven't really been treating it that well for the latter part of these few weeks because it kept freezing and seizing. I was one PMS-y day away from throwing it against the wall. This is the 2nd PC I have had in 4 years. I think they should last a bit longer than that.... so I went to Best Buy and after very little debate bought (read: financed) a MacBook Pro. I love it, and it is so easy to use and intuitive! I wish I had it sooner!!!!
So within a week I had to buy a new car and new laptop. I am doing my best to bring us out of this recession!
I also transferred from the International base of flying to the Domestic base of flying. I have been having a really great time with a lot of fun crews and exploring new cities...I went to Salt Lake City twice already, a beautiful place that I hadn't ever been to. It actually reminds me of home a lot...
Also I started a book club - one of my Life Goals - and the first meeting is tonight. I am so excited, and I actually think I did a pretty good job of book selection this time - there is lots to discuss in "Portrait of an Unknown Woman" - the role of women in society, the father/daughter relationship, Church and power, etc. Yay!
That about catches everyone up. I really need to stay on top on my blog! There should be a poke option like on FaceBook....
