How Do You Be So Short?

I have a car!!!

Crazy, I know! Isn't she great?!? Her name is Nikki and I got her last Tuesday. She is an '07 Hyundai Accent. We saw her add in the classifieds and then went into Vegas to see her that day, and ended up going for it! It was definitely the best deal we'd seen, and I've been incredibly pleased with her so far!! She's so cute!



You can see the old Jeep in the back hiding behind a tree... and no, we have not rejected him. He's just a little more shy than Nikki. I feel a little rude just referring to him as "the old Jeep" now, but since he's not mine I don't really have authority to name him. So ya know... what can ya do?


In other news... I turned 17! We drove to Riverside Monday (my birthday) and got to hang out with Caleb for the day, and part of Tuesday. We went to Red Robin, saw a movie, went shopping, and looked at some Christmas lights. Tuesday morning we ate at Ihop and got Jamba Juice. It was great!


Mostly, I just thought these elves were so cute...wait no... That's not it. Haha, but it was a good photo op. At least that's what the sign said. (Okay, that's not technically what it said, but that's what it implied!) Those guys actually freaked me out a little bit. They were moving, and I'm fairly certain they would have grabbed me had I not leaped out of the bench once the picture was taken. It was at the place we were walking around looking at Christmas lights. It was really cold! We had a great time though!

I still think you're nuts naming your car. I would have named it something like "Greengo (pronounced gringo)", but to each his own I guess! Glad y'all had fun with the elves.

Is Nikki's Hyundai Accent more similar to a Swedish or an Asian accent? You might want to look in to that. I didn't see your friend in that first picture. Your car was in the way. I like it by the way.

We had a dog named Nikki. I hope your car is not a dog ;)

I turned 17 once, too. Janis Ian recorded a song called "At Seventeen" in 1975.I was not 17 in 1975.

How can you eat at IHOP AND have a Jamba Juice, all in the morning? Whew!

Which ones are the elves in the photo? Anyway, it is a shame that it was so cold where you took the picture. You would think they would warm up the place a bit. I guess they want to save some moolah. Why is it called moolah anyway?

I actually read this post right after you posted it...but wasn't signed in so I didn't comment. But how fun to have a new car! It is really cute and I have nothing to say about it being named Nikki. My friend named her car Shakesha. So yes, to each their own.
