AJ and I went to see the movie today. Christian Bale was great as John Connor. And Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright…*deep sigh*…be still my heart. We both loved the movie, plan to see it again, and highly recommend it to Terminator fans and fellow action flick junkies!

Want to attend Ellora’s Cave Publishing’s 2009 inaugural RomantiCon convention in Akron Ohio? Then why not bid on the all expense paid trip package Ellora’s generously donated to Brenda Novack’s online autction benefitting diabetes research. The proceds go to a great cause and you get to take a great trip. But that’s not all. It gets better.

If you win, you also get to be in a photo shoot with Ellora’s Cavemen cover models and an autographed copy of the photo of your choice. Also, you’ll receive your picture with a Caveman on the cover of a special edition of the Ellora’s Cave book of your choice–with 10 free copies!

Oh my! Too bad I just bought that darn truck. I knew making a big down payment was a mistake. Now I don’t have any spare $$ to bid. Dang it! I had it all planned out too. Pick a menage book and you get two hunky models with you on the book cover. Oh yeah! I might have to beg, borrow or steal some money so I can get a shot at this. LOL!

Bidding ends on May 31st so get a move on if you want to help a good cause and win yourself one heck of a hot photo!

Ah, yes. One of the big milestones has to come visit. My son will be turning 15 this fall and getting his learner’s permit. No way is he practicing in my car. Unh-uh! I’m not about to put a 15 year old with too much testosterone behind the wheel of a muscle car with 350hp. Over the past several weeks we began shopping. Our criteria was pretty simple. Less than 10 years old, less than 100K miles, automatic, no V8s, well maintained pick-up truck. Oh, and having working a/c was crucial since we live in Florida.

Last night we found what will start out as a second family vehicle and will eventually be AJ’s first car. Its a sonic blue 2002 Ford Ranger XLT with cute little drop down seats in the back. Only has 38K miles and had a clean Carfax report.

AJ’s already planning all the cool accessories he’s saving up money to buy since he’s now broke after paying 1/3 of the cost to buy the truck. He save up for 4 years from allowance, birthday and Christmas money. I also involved him in all aspects of checking out the vehicles and calculating all the costs involved such as tax, tags & title, insurance, maintenance…

My baby’s growing up.

   

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
