mid-month update

so much as happened/changed in the past few weeks, i thought i'd provide a mid-month update. obviously, i bought a car this past weekend! the coupe wasn't even on my radar, but i fell in love with the color & basically the rest is history! :) i love it and it's so fun to drive! i settled with my insurance company. my dad is a mad negotiator and got them to come up almost 1k without having to go to arbitration, affording me the opportunity to put a 10k down payment on my car (side note: with the blowout price of just over 15,200, 0.9% APR for 36 mos and a 10k down payment, my monthly payments are still less than they were with the mazda and i have a shorter term period..awesome! *also, since i am unemployed, i couldn't get financing, so my dad had to co-sign my loan with me*). i went to court this afternoon for my ticket from my accident. the d.a. dismissed it..it took longer to for my dad to find a place to park than it did to check in, sit for a few minutes and then talk to the d.a. but hey, it works for me. now, i just have to wait to see how much my premiums go up in january.

mentally, i can cross #2-4 off my november list..i am still working on the job situation..i had 2 interviews last week and i have another one scheduled for monday 11/22 at noon. hopefully, something shakes out here soon because it's getting more than mildly depressing....bella's having her spa day on wednesday and hopefully i'll be getting a massage by week's end!

p.s. the news i'm sharing with the world...last night, i went on a long awaited date (the guy and i have been talking for..months!) and it was great. call me aggressive or forward, but at the end of the night..i took the leap and kissed him. and it was PERFECT. i suppose there's nothing like standing in the middle of a parking lot enjoying a great kiss. i think my body went numb...i have never believed the "fireworks" analogy when it comes to kissing, but if i didn't see 'em, they were going off somewhere. he called me while i was driving home and he thought it was great too.....so we'll see what lies ahead. i probably shouldn't talk about it, but it was the best kiss of the year (if not, of my life) & i wanna tell everyone! :)
