Update on my 2008/2009 Goal

So I again mentioned to my Dad the other day that I need my own space and I'm not really interested in renting. In my opinion if I'm going to spend the money might as well get something out of it like ownership. I am toying with the idea of purchasing a small home, so my Dad got me hooked up with a real estate agent this past week and the agent didn't waste any time on his part, he has sent me a list of homes to check out online. All of this is happening a little too fast for me, but at the same time I'm very excited if it ends up working out. It really just depends if I can get a first time home owner loan with an affordable monthly payment. So really it's in the early stages but it has come out of the "some day" stage to the "ball rolling" stage. I already have my sights on one house in particular so I'll keep you posted to see what happens, but to be realistic, I don't think anything is going to happen anytime soon.

News!

I just wanted to share with you all that I got a raise today!!!! I'm so excited!!! It takes effect September 1!! Yea me!

That is all.

YAAAR

So I finally got my vanity plate a couple of weeks ago and I love it!!! It's a play on words for Yaris and what a pirate says. Also my Yaris has been christened as Morgan, as in Capt Morgan. I'd been trying to come up with a pirate name for my car now for awhile and nothing was working. Black Beard was too long and my car is silver, wouldn't work. I thought Silver Beard but that's just stupid. And that's as far as I got. Then one day I was having a discussion with some of my co-workers about how they think all cars are girls and I said that that's only because boys made it that way and that I'm not a boy so my car must be a boy not a girl. (Stupid reason I know, but I wasn't going to give in) So while still in this discussion they were coming up with names for me and I might add none better than what I had already come up with. And then it comes to me, Capt. Morgan, it's perfect!

• Morgan can be both a boy and girl name -both parties satisfied - check
  
• The name isn't too long - check
• Its a sweat name - check
• Its a pirate name - check

So there we have it, my new license plate and newly christened Yaris, Morgan.
