We finally did it. We quit talking and shopping and Thomas and I went and bought the Nissan Versa Hatchback! Automatic, continuously variable transmission. You never even feel the gears change, much less have to worry about changing them yourself. Sapphire Blue. I think I'm going to call it Nellie.

Christmas shopping is going fairly well this year. Not done, but moving along, with ideas for almost everyone but one Aunt. Bought Christmas ornaments for all the nieces and nephews on my side. They'll be bored with them, but I generally never get the right thing anyway. Except for last year when I bought that pink feather boa for Princess. And I went to a lot of trouble to try to pick something wonderful for each kid. Well, and Mason loved the little science gadget I got him. So, 2 out of 10. So this year I went for easy.
The last few days we've been taking care of our friends' cats, fish, and turtle while they went off for a late vacation. It's been fun. Of course, the problem is that now Thomas wants an aquarium. And, so do I, sorta.
