Our New Car

Silly me - I forgot to mention our new car in My Favorite Things, part 2.

We bought a 2008 Honda Civic last week. It is a manual. I thought I would never drive it but, alas, Derek is a great teacher and I am already cruisin' it around Sandersville. I wouldn't take it to the metropolis of Milledgeville yet with all of those stop lights and hills. But - at least I know how to drive it and feel comfortable doing so now.

It really is a gorgeous car and it is nice to finally have one that we can call ours. One of my favorite features is when you lean the seat back (I always sleep on long trips) you are pretty much horizontal. It also has an Ipod hookup and XM Radio =)

These are a Few of My Favorite Things...2...

Glee. - I have waited for it all summer and now it is getting close. I am pretty sure this will be on my favorite things list forever, if the shows are even half as good as the premier.

The Clintons. - Besides Mr. Clinton's prior personal indescretions I think this couple is classy, sincere and downright American royalty.

Our Budget. - Derek has taken it over and has made it work. I love it that I don't worry about expenses at all anymore.

My new Blue and Cream Dishes. - Derek bought me these WWII era dishes and they now adorn my dining room table and make me smile every time I see them.

Rachel Maddow. - She is well-spoken/eloquent, rational and doesn't raise her voice or interrupt her guests that have a different opinion than she does. I think she is magnificient, an actual reporter.

The Braves Season Tickets. - We have been to around 18 games this year. I feel like I live at Turner Field some weeks but that's okay because I LOVE THE BRAVES.
