As I walked into church tonight the Cubs were up by a run. There was part of me that thought about going to the later service or skipping all together so that I could see the end of the game but I figured that watching a Cubs game may be a poor excuse for missing church. The lady two rows behind me had the right idea. She had her phone showing her the play by play and in all of her excitement, in the middle of the campus pastor's talk, she yelled "Cubs win." It was a rather funny moment. I wanted to turn around to see who it was that screamed it out but I figured she was embarrassed enough. When church was over, she was nowhere to be found. I am pretty sure her and whoever she came with made a b-line for the door as soon as the message was done. When church was over I headed over to the sporting goods store to pick up my 2008 division title t-shirt. It was pretty amazing how many they had already sold. The lady at the store said there were costumers waiting in the store at the end of the game to be sure they got one. Cubs fans are crazy! I LOVE it! This is the year and I am loving every minute of it!

A little impulse buy
I did one of the crazier things I have done in life yesterday and it felt great! My civic that I have had for the past 6 years was getting up there in age. There was really nothing wrong with it but I knew that I was getting to the point of either having to put money into it or possibly sell it. Because the financing rates are so low right now and dealers are willing to work with their price a little more, I have been throwing around this idea of car shopping for the past couple of months. I decided this weekend that I would just "go look." I had no intention of buying. It always takes me months/years to make decisions on a big purchase but I was ready to start the process. My Dad and I had a little father/ daughter bonding time and we headed to the dealer to do some test driving. Six hours later and what I think was a fantastic deal, Herbie (the civic) was traded in and now I am the proud owner of this little guy! I LOVE everything about it. I am totally one of those crazy new car people that cringes as the miles go up, parks in the back of every parking lot, and fears the day I find the first door ding. I am in need of name for this one. It can't be Conrad (who was my first Corsica) or Herbie (the old civic). Do you have any suggestions?
