Pontiac

Today GM announced that it would be eliminating the Pontiac line as a part of their restructuring. I am soooooooooooo disappointed. In 2007, my beautiful metallic blue 2002 firebird with t-tops was totaled when a dodge ram truck ran a red light. We never bought me another car for my heart was set on owning another firebird or upgrading to a trans am. I searched the used car listing, but never really saw the blue one. I had hoped that with the camaro returning this year that maybe pontiac would start production of their muscle car in the near future. Clearly that will not be the case.

Volunteer Work

Saturday, I headed out to do some volunteer work. Man was it hot!!!! For the first class we went on a long trail ride. I felt so out of shape by the end of that session, but it was fun. For the second and third class I wasn't needed to help with any of the riders, so I was put to work smoothing out the arena and cleaning stalls. Hard work!!!

Magic City Art

This weekend is the Magic City Art Connection at Linn Park. Today two of my co-workers and I walked down to the park to check all the cool displays. There were so many interesting displays of art. I wish I could be so talented. I saw two very neat and totally different pieces of butterfly art. One was the metal cut out of several butterflies that appeared to be flying. The other was a more modern style of a single row of butterflies in black, white and blue pinned like a science project against a white background in a simple black frame. If I only had tons of money to spend on artwork!!!! I ended up purchasing a pair of earring for $20 that were made from old typewriter keys from a vendor all the way from Indiana. They are too cute and I guess I could say vintage!

Earth Day

There was a parade downtown for Earth Day. My co-worker and I stepped outside to see the kids from local schools participating in the parade. Too cute!

Twitter

Ok, so now I am on twitter!!! I have kinda been wanting to get started for a while now, but thought I would wait until August when I can get a blackberry. I knew my husband already had one. On my way home from work today, I heard Ryan Seacrest on the radio talking about Hugh Jackman offering to donate 100K to a non-profit charity but you had to twitter him. I came home and made myself set an account up today!!! Of course I sent Hugh a message. I hope I did it correctly so I can put Special Equestrians of Bham in the running for the donation. This is the charity that I recently started doing volunteer work for on Saturdays.

P.S. I can't wait until May 1st for the Wolverine movie!!!!!

Bathroom Project - Tile Preview

Today we went to another store for different tile selection. We actually saw some pieces that we both liked and now have a design plan for the shower. At this time, we have come to a compromise for some pretty glass tile to be used as accent pieces - YEAH. Thus, we have now come back home with some sample pieces for us to ponder over the weekend.

Home Improvement Project

We are finally looking into fixing our shower! Trying to determine the type of tile and pattern design for the shower seems to be the hardest part.
