So a lot actually has happened since the last time I posted. So I can't write about everything all at once because I really am not that talented. I find keeping up with everything is a struggle. So I can only do a little bit at a time.
So to begin with, I bought a new car. My little Kia Rio was doing fine, but I decided it was time for an upgrade. I had him for over five years and even though it wasn't absolutely necessary to get a new car I thought now would be a good time to do it. I was able to find a car I really love with lot's of features I liked for a good price. So I bought my 2010 Ford Fusion Sport. It really is a great car. I got a lot of good bang for my buck and the safety ratings are impeccable. Plus it is really a nice looking car. I never thought I would buy a Ford, but they really have come a long way. I guess I can thank my sister Christine and my brother-in-law Adam for telling me to check them out. I really am clueless about cars so I appreciated the help!
I haven't decided if or what I am going to name her. It's a her because the navigation system has a female voice. I don't know if you can change that or not. Not that I really care that much. Sometimes when I went to Krogers (a grocery store) I would use the self-check out but I would do it in Spanish even though I don't know Spanish at all. (Sometimes I got a few funny looks.) It had a male voice, while the English voice was female. A culture thing I guess? I learned how to say "Thank-you for shopping at Krogers!" "Gracias por comprar en Krogers!" (I think that is right.) Anyways back to the car. I named the Kia Rio when I got it Erik the Red. The car is red and I thought naming it after a Viking was kind of cool at the time. I even had a name for the jeep when I was driving it. I called him Bucephalus (which was the name of Alexander the Great's horse.) Again I thought it was cool at the time. The first car I named was the ill-fated Bridgitte! (R.I.P.!) But anyways I guess if something comes to me I will name her, but if nothing really strikes me she will remain nameless.
