New Ride

I really like my 2008 Pacifica. The color is called clearwater blue pearl (reminds me of the waters around a tropical island) and changes color with the light. It has a lot of gadgets but no DVD screen (we can play DVDs but can't "see" them, figure that one out). My favorite feature, that I played with and set yesterday, is the seating memory. Since Kirk is 6'2" and I'm 5'4" its really nice to not have to readjust seating every time I get in ;o)

More About CQing

Here's an update on my CQ square.
I still have a lot more embellishing to do.

The day before Mother's Day I bought a bunch of different colored costume satins out of the bargain bin at Walmart (Who can pass up $2/yard?) and some trims.

Another great resource for fabrics and trims are yard sales. Especially little girl dresses. I found this one on Friday for $1 I have accumulated a lot of buttons, threads, fabrics, trims, batting, needles, ribbons, beads, etc. over the years this way.

Life's Little Rewards

Our family doesn't drink much pop and it isn't usually name brand. However, my step-father, mom, and little brother (okay, he's 6'2" but he's 15 years younger than me) drink a lot of Coke. My step-dad used to collect Coke memorabilia but has accumulated all he wants at this point. So they give their My Coke Rewards points to us. I like getting things for free (and since it isn't my money buying the Coke, it really is free =)

I just ordered a Proctor Silex 10-Cup Rice Cooker (I am hit or miss with rice and having one of these is supposed to solve that, at least that's what I hear) and will have it in 4-6 weeks. We've also received 3 Coca-Cola insulated lunch bags (in August) and before that I got a Coca-Cola Sling back pack (about a year ago). I'm not a big Coke fan (except Cherry Coke) but I do like red, black, and white together. Now I'm off to see about a gift card at My Points (another great freebie website).
