Halloween, thanksgiving, new car

I haven’t updated in a minute.  I’ve been busy with work and the holidays and buying a new car.  It’s been a action packed month and a half. Our Halloween party was a success.  I posted an album on facebook, but I’ll share a few on here as well.

I decided to go as spider-man last minute.  I’m pretty sure I was caught mid-dance in this photo.

Heather went as Wonder-Woman.

We even bought costumes for the dogs.  Miki was a hot dog.

And Molly was a turtle.

My piece of shit car died on me about 2 weeks ago.  It may not be actually dead, but it overheated on the highway and since I only payed $700 for it I figured it would be better to buy something new, which I had been saving for, instead of throwing money away in order to drive the junker for two more months.

It’s a 2009 Nissan Versa. And it’s manual, which I couldn’t drive when I bought it.  But now I can, and I don’t think I will buy an automatic ever again.   For the first few days, I would stall out at red lights, but I’ve gotten a lot better.  I was really surprised that I was able to buy such a nice car.  I went to Carmax and they made everything super easy.  I have low payments and a warranty for the next 6 years if anything goes wrong with it.

And then there was Thanksgiving.  I went to see my family, Heather’s family and then visit  Scott up in Tennessee.  It was a lot of driving, but I had a ton of fun.  I’m really glad I got to see everyone. Heather and I went shopping on black friday and bought a 55″ tv.  It wouldn’t fit in my car, so we had to come back the next day to pick it up.  We also bought a load of blu-rays, dvds, and video games.  I’ve been playing Arkham City on the new TV, and IT IS AWESOME!

Christmas is coming up soon and I am ecstatic.  It should be one of the best ones ever.  I’ve got to get my hustle on at work though, because I have spent way too much money this month.
