Awwwww yeah!

The day has finally arrived! This past Saturday, Corey and I got up at the ass crack of dawn to drive down to Atlanta to pick up my new 2006 Orange Honda Element EX-P! It took us 3 hours to get there and I'm really surprised my poor old '94 Nissan Altima with 132,000 miles on it didn't just completely blow up on the interstate on the way there!

We got an excellent deal on it and I would highly recommend Curry Honda for all your Honda needs :-) Our sales rep. was really nice and helpful and we could tell that he wasn't just trying to move another unit off his lot. He really did have our best interest at heart! Thanks Matt!!!

Anyway, here's the highly anticipated photos of Tang (short for Tangerine.) Corey says she's from the planet Poon, which you will only understand if you listen to the Bob & Tom show in the mornings.

I can tell ya'll have been hitting up my blog like crazy from the counter! FINALLY the pictures are here (Clarissa!!!) Enjoy and leave a nice message!

UPDATE: Apparently, Blogger no longer supports slideshows using "Shockwave" so you will have to follow THIS link to see the show.

New! New! New!

Hello all 3 of you reading!

I really have nothing to say. This weekend has been busy and filled with (LONG) weddings, Wal-Mart shopping (3 times) and running around. Apparently my car has a cracked radiator and the brakes also need to be replaced. I am still taking donations to the "Buy Stephanie an Orange Element" fund!

My friend Kristin got married yesterday. That was literally the LONGEST wedding I've ever been to; an hour and a half. YES, the ceremony was an hour and a half! That's an hour and fifteen minutes longer than my OWN wedding! We didn't stay for the reception. By the time they would have taken pictures and gotten to the reception it would have been another hour and we were starving to death!!! So, we went to Corey's parent's house and ate at the Franklin Chop House with them. YUMMY!

Today we have been to Wal-Mart twice (after going last night, too.) We bought a smaller Christmas tree this year except we accidentally got one with multi-color lights so we had to exchange it for clear ones. I HATE multi-colored lights!!!!! I think they are the tackiest thing ever. I have always been VERY particular about my trees. I only want white lights and very little to no ornaments on the tree. One year, I made my mom put just white lights and silver tinsel on it. She thought I was crazy, but I LOVED that tree!

I am also a very firm believer that your tree should have a color scheme. I am not a huge fan of homemade ornaments or the tacky ones people give you because they have to get you something for the Holidays. Ugh. I understand the sentimental stuff, but enough is enough!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am not really in the festive holiday spirit as of late, but maybe that will change. I'm such a Bah-Hum-Bug! I always have been. My birthday, however is coming soon and I do always look forward to that! I'm sure I'll let you all know about the festivities surrounding that!

I will leave you now with my favorite South Park Christmas character - Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo...

I Covet...

I think I'm going to start a "Help Stephanie Buy Her Orange Honda Element Fund." My poor car is dying and there's no new car future in sight.

Please, for the mere price of a cup of coffee per day, you could help a poor exhausted teacher afford a car that isn't a POS. Won't you help?
