Thirteen Automobiles I Would Like To Drive (Regardless of Price, Gas Mileage, or any form of practicality)

2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser - I like the sporty look of it, and I'd also like to be doing exactly what the one above is doing. Thanks.

2008 Volkswagen Beetle - I always thought this would be a fun car to have.

2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara - with some goodies added on like the one above.

2008 Mercedes SLK 55 - Probably my "dream" car. Wouldn't this one be fun?

2008 Mini Cooper S - This one has actually been under consideration due to gas prices.

2008 Smart ForTwo - I worry about safety, but toodling around in this would be fun. Imagine the ease of parking!

2008 Cadillac CTS - Always liked the aggressive stying of these.

2008 Nissan Altima Coupe - I love the way these look.

2008 GMC Sierra Z71 Pickup - This one's for Sammy!

2008 Honda Accord Coupe - Another 2-door I like the looks of.

2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe - This is a really fine, fine car. Wouldn't it make me look good!

2008 Volkswagen Tiguan - this new SUV looks pretty cool. I always like the Touareg, so this one is no different. The price is lower than the Touareg.

2008 Nissan Pathfinder - Another SUV I've always liked. I'd drive one for sure - lots of cargo room.

A Meme of Fours

I got tagged for an interesting little survey meme. Let's see if I can keep this as interesting as possible, because I fear it may venture into "who cares?" territory!

Four places I go all the time:
1. Work (Hello. I'm Mrs. Obvious.)
2. To the corner by the fire station about 1/2 mile from my house. The 4-legged McG goes, too, hence the reason I'm going to this terribly interesting location.
3. Kroger (Hello. I'm also Mrs. Have-No-Life.)
4. Church

Four people who email me regularly:
1. My buddy from work, Gloria
2. The Journey ABF Yahoo Group Alerts
3. My great-aunt Joe
4. Keds (Been meaning to stop those. I buy one thing and then blam-o... 19 e-mails per week!)

Four of my favorite places to eat:
1. Zorba's Greek Cafe - Plano
2. Best Thai - Frisco
3. Sushi Sakana - Plano
4. Sushi Den - Denver, Colorado

Four places I would rather be right now:
1. Riding up Imogene Pass near Silverton, Colorado.
2. On a Royal Caribbean Cruise somewhere tropical.
3. On my couch at home with the sun shining in the windows taking a nap with a comfy quilt.
4. Doing my shopping for this weekend (snacks, bottled water, coffee).

Four TV shows I watch over and over:
1. What Not To Wear
2. The Office
3. Friends Re-runs
4. Dirty Jobs

Friday Fill-Ins #4

1. The salad I had for lunch today had an extra secret ingredient; it was kalamata olives, a favorite!

2. I wish I could be at home, on the couch, looking through my window.

3. Right now, I need a serious pick-me-up.

4. Home is where I went Thursday night; it was where I watched The Office.

5. Why does slicing my finger on the Pampered Chef Mandolin hurt so much?

6. All I can think of is the pretty day outside and how I wish I could enjoy it more.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to not doing much, tomorrow my plans include no planned events and Sunday, I want to plan my week's meals! I tell you. This never seems to change week to week. I DO have a life. Really I do!! But I do relish the stress-free weekend, so I'm o.k. with this event repeating week after week most of the time. :-)

Thirteen Blatant Grammar Errors or Blatant Misspellings I've observed on the 'Net Lately

1. Plane when the person intended to say Plain.

2. Rod Iron. The stair rail, yes, it is made of what looks to be "rods." But it is wrought from iron.

3. Speaking about a vehicle, the Ford Expidition.

4. Descrimination for Discrimination.

5. PM's when the Private Message is not possessive, but plural. Should be: PMs.

6. Crape Myrtle for Crepe Myrtle.

7. Grammer instead of Grammar. See this one a lot!

8. Speaking of alot, that is not a word. A LOT is two words.

9. "I know for a fact that he seen the SUV..."

10. Using Opps when they meant to say Oops.

11. Couldn't of when they should say Couldn't have. See this all the time.

12. Definately for Definitely.

13. Syrop for Syrup.

The Hobby Meme

Meme time! I got tagged by Marie for this one. Enjoy!

What three skills or hobbies would you learn if you had all the time, tools, and money you needed?

1. Play the guitar - I always thought it would be a fun instrument to play. I already have musical ability I've learned over the years - the piano, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, and a little knowledge of the drums. But the guitar would be cool.

2. Make Lampwork Glass Beads - Some of the very best artists make such fabulous beads! This is a skill I'd love to learn, but the equipment is quite pricey. However, after the initial start-up cost, it wouldn't be so bad.

3. Photography - I have most of the tools (might need a better camera, but mine's pretty good), time I don't have. But I love really great photographs.

Friday Feast #16

Appetizer
Invent a new flower; give it a name and describe it. I have no idea except I would want it to be the blue color of bluebonnets.

Soup
Name someone whom you think has a wonderful voice. My college roommate Arielle. Truly amazing.

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how clean do you keep your car? I'd go with an 8. I can let it get a bit messy out of lack of time to clean it, but I normally am very neat.

Main Course
How do you feel about poetry? Good. Poetry's good.

Dessert
What was the last person/place/thing you took a picture of? The last thing I took a picture of was my new sink!
