LAST CHANCE..

This is the last day you have to suggest a name for me new car! I will be doing the draw late tonight....

BIG...BLACK...BEAUTIFUL...4X4 Toyota.... and of course It's MINE...! Lots of you have been focusing on the Highlander name... but I was thinking more of the BIG, BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL aspect really. Like what is big and black and beautiful? Who? What? Where even? So there's more ideas to help ya! There are a few really good suggestions already... but I'm open to more!

Today I am going to EXERCISE from 9 - 10 am, it's the start of my new routine... fitting exercise back in NO MATTER WHAT else I want to be getting on with. Exercise has to come first.
And I am planning every evening meal in ADVANCE, so I'm not left wondering what I'm cooking for dinner at 4pm ... and sometimes just thinking "oh what the hell, let's have takeaways!". NO MORE being lazy....

This is the last week of school before the next 2 week holiday for the kids... so I want to make the most of it and get lots done.. primarily the new blind... and maybe Brylee's quilt finished!
ONWARD...
EXERCISE = Done!





ABOVE: see the tennis ball? hee hee, now I can drive me new car into the garage without hitting the wall.... it's a bloody Looooong car... a bit longer than my van in fact. Oh and it took me over 45 minutes to get that bloody ball positioned just right... and two holes in the roof... *sigh* (small nail holes Stew, don't go panicking now!).

What's next? oh yes.. now to the blind... yeah forget the blind.. I had to go grocery shopping and put petrol in the car ready for tomorrow's Patchwork Class Outing....

***********NAMES: what about something that depicts the "DIET COKE ROCKS" side too????

ABOVE: I snapped this guy in the supermarket this afternoon....like.. WHY did he bother putting on his jeans if he wanted to show his arse so badly???? His underdaks were so thin I could see his butt crack... soooo not a good look. IDIOT.

End of Day: well I drove the new car with some trepidation.. especially around town... but on the motorway I actually CRIED.... cos I felt so safe ! In the van I always felt very vulnerable. I will be doing the NAME DRAW in 3 hours... then going to bed. Results will be posted tomorrow. nite nite.

  6. Good on you for scheduling your exercise in. I agree it's the *best* way to get it done and tick it off the to-do list!... I'm hoping to do the same this week! :)

    PS: what about Tyra (as in Banks) for the new car?... she's big, black and certainly beautiful!!

    Hi Chris, My father used to have an expression for anything that was black "Black as the ace of Spades"

    I think SPADES would be pretty classy for such a classy looking car and not to over the top

  10. hey, I use the tennis ball to get my car far enough into the garage so I can close the gates without hitting the car (the gate manufacturer put the hinges on the wrong way so they swing in not out!)

    You know, you could always call it Venus or Serena after the big black beautiful tennis players...

    Or Lotti after the footballer! haha. good luck!

    Hmmm... "Ivanna" springs to mind - you know as in Ivanna Spendalot to giver her a first and last name. Enjoy your new baby!

    Hoping to get to Dorkland soon so we can catch up properly.

    Don't freeze your bum off too much, we are down here - in the grips of freezing cold breeze - just charming.

  19. Guys wear their pants like that all over here. I SO hope it goes out of "style" if you can call it that soon!

    How about LOVER ;O)

    ReplyDelete
  20. How about "Heidi" for the car ... it's got some of the "diet" in "Diet Coke Rocks" in it - and the "hi" sound of Highlander - and why does the car have to be masculine ... why not a feminine name for the car? (Non-stereotyping here!! Lol).

    ReplyDelete
  21. Or another suggestion .... Coke-o (Coco) .... cocoa is dark after all!!

  29. Congrats on the new car. Sounds like you are having a fun time getting acquainted.

    Around here all the young men love to dress like underwear guy. This awful style has been going on for years.

    You are always the busy bee. Good luck with the exercise.

  31. We have the same problem with our freaking long mini-van. There's only a few inches of clearance in front and back when we park in the garage.
