New Car



Man, oh man...

I had to give up my precious 1996 Acura 3.5 RL. That car took me EVERYWHERE!!! When we first got it, trust me. It wasn't my first choice, but when I did get it, I thought that it was a pretty cool car. It was the car I used to make my sales routes for Salon Source and I conquered many fears in there.

Last Wednesday, while driving home from Menchaca's, it started acting very funny and I knew something was really wrong. You know how you just have that intuition. Well, it started shaking on me like it was going to collapse and I was like, "Oh no." So I pulled over the first time on 35 (yes, I know! Not the safest place to pull over), thinking that the tire was going to blowout. Got out of the car and all tires were fine. So, thinking "Okay, that's weird," I get back in the car and take off with caution, putting my hazards on. I turn onto Bailey Rd, and it stopped shaking, but when I started to accelerate more to get over the bridge, it started shaking violently and I had to scream, "Lord, please, Lord, please get over this bridge!" He did and low and behold, as I was coming off of the bridge and pulled into the driveway by the water tower, there was a Pearland cop sitting there, just waiting to pull someone over. He came over and helped, while I called Chase to come and get me. I wasn't ABOUT to drive it home, even though I was 5-10 min away.

The cop had to leave, but made sure that I was taken care of. Nice guy! So, Chase got there and told me that he had someone coming to tow the car to Long's. I didn't care, I just wanted to get home and forget that it happened, but it left me stranded to where I couldn't work last week. Kind of sucks!!

Well, to make a long story short, tranny needed to be fixed and in an Acura, they are VERY expensive. So, after much, MUCH consideration, we sold it after putting on Craigslist.

Now, I have a 98 Toyota 4Runner to get me around town and make new memories with!




My Acura, how I will miss you!! You have new owners who'll take much more care of you and treat you good!!

BODY BY VI...Are you ready for the Challenge?

Ever since I started working out, doing the Power 90 & P90X systems from Beachbody...I've lost 15 to 20 lbs of weight. BUT, I needed that extra oomph and no, I was not about to order Shakeology. WAY too expensive and let's face it, it's not a cure all. My friend, Noelle, introduced me to a company called ViSalus Sciences and they are the makers of the ViShake. What is ViShake? Funny you asked, lol...

ViShake is a wonderful protein and energy shake you can drink and you can make it with any combo imaginable. It helps you develop lean muscle and help you lose weight. So, for those who aren't able to exercise, this is perfect for you.

Go to www.bodybyvi.com for more details.

So, I'm asking you again...are you ready for the challenge?

Forgot I had a blog...WHO KNEW????

LMAO, I totally forgot about this thing until John Schneider came across FB and announced his. So, it got me to thinking. Is blogging out?

I wouldn't think so, even though we put our daily lives out there for everyone to see. Facebook, Twitter, you name it. Although, if I dare to even mention MySpace, I hope that I don't get killed. It's so 2008. hahaha.

So, what is a blog good for? How about publishing stories? Poetry, pics...putting your feelings out there in a reading format, instead of a status update.

Okay, that's enough. Carry on!
