My New Old Car!

I am officially no longer a "soccer mom" minivan driver! It was great when I needed it, but I have been wanting to downsize for quite sometime now as I am usually the only one in the car. Therefore I definitely did not need a 7 passenger van with 2 built in car seats :)

So.... now I am the proud owner of a no car payment 1996 Nissan Pathfinder! I actually bought it from Tim when he moved to Prague. He needed the money and I needed a smaller car that could handle pulling our boat and camper ( not at the same time of course).

Tim put a monster hitch on it and it pulled the boat no problem! Sold.

After a 24 year old guy driving it for several years I decided I needed to "make it mine"

and "girl it up" a little :) Tim, don't freak!!

Girl Car!!

It's 2 years OLDER than my van, a little less mileage and just what I was looking for. Now, if I could just get that van sold...

"Like all humans, you carry within you awesome survival mechanisms. All you need is the knowledge to trigger them. Once triggered, they will provide you with all the energy and health that you need to better survive. Take advantage of your innate power. Nourish yourself properly, live better, and live longer". - Ori Hofmekler

According to Eric Winer, MD, chief scientific advisor to Susan G Komen for the Cure®, the treatment of metastatic breast cancer has evolved dramatically over the past 10 years, and will evolve even more in the next decade. "I look forward to a time when metastatic breast cancer will be entirely manageable with well tolerated therapy. It may be quite some time before we can cure metastatic disease, but women with metastatic breast cancer can expect to live far longer and far better in the years ahead than in the past. "
