Time to retire Pepi

So yesterday the first day of my mini vacation was adventurous. We went into fredeneck so I could get my eyebrow pierced... I've been trying to get this done forever (now I have to come up with a way to hid it from work for 3 months, thank goodness for longer bushy hair) Yeah well I ended up with the eyebrow, the tragus and the rook (both on weird ear parts) First though to kill some time we had been window shopping at cars, we need to replace Pepi... she needs about a grand worth of work, to maintain, not including the rust issue we have started, and she just hit 100000 miles. I've had Pepi almost 6 years... I love her... but we past by my 3rd top choice in dream cars, and it drove nice, and the price was acceptable and we can work it into the budget for a few months before the hubby sees some money he is expecting. All said and done today I will be picking up a navy metallic convertible beetle, black top and black interior. It's much smaller, but the boys are getting beyond the stroller way of life and next year the little man will be gone all day at school. It is used so it's life expectancy for me should be 3-4 years and then for the boys I'll have to look for something bigger for sports and friends for them. I guess a 1974 BMW2002 in hunter green will be out of the question!

On other news as planned when we got home we prepared to work on the bathroom downstairs. Hubby grabbed up the toilet and moved it away took care of the wax ring for me because I am scared of it, and periodically swept for me as I prepped the floor. I got the tile completely around the toilet laid down, some trim work up, and a good cleaning in. Today we are hoping to get the sink in place, and the toilet will be put down in a few hours. Once I get home from a few errands I'll be grouting away. Tomorrow I will paint bathroom and kitchen, and work on the backer board for the tub, and the vents we are making for the heating. I need the tub supply parts before I can really get started on the area around there.
