Cricket

It's been an eventful weekend! On Friday night, I had to go to a retirement party. While it was fun due to a Beatles cover band, there were also like 8 speakers and it got real boring real fast. I texted Steve that we were on speaker #6 and I was not going to be home when I thought I was, and he sent me back these pictures:

Fun at the park

Really rubbing it in!

BUT, I did get to see this:


Then, I woke up on Saturday morning to this:

Flip is 75% Staffy and 25% purebred mutt! I'm really glad we did that! Even though Staffies get lumped in with Pit Bull Terriers literally ALL the time, it is its own, different, breed. So, having this on hand if we have ever to deal with a pit bull ban or other Flip discrimination will be helpful!! It also proves he is a mutt, which is how he is licensed with the county. Boom!

And, if anyone ever thought "bully breeds" or large dogs were loud, vicious, or bite-y, they have never been to a dog park. The Small Dog area is, basically, like an outer ring of hell. We have to walk by there every time to get to the Large Dog area. Which is a delight. Look at how Flip is all, "guys, you're embarrassing yourselves."

Wm is always after little yappy dogs and I would rather die! They also pee everywhere with their walnut sized bladders.

Speaking of Big Kid Wm, he got his school pictures! In which there is a wicked glare in his glasses and he looks so big!!

AND, the biggest news is that we got a new car! And, it's not a Prius. We test drove the Prius C and it was terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible. It felt like driving a shitty golf cart. So, we got a Corolla Hatchback that looks just like this:

Cricket

I have named her Cricket. She is awesome! It was also the easiest car buying experience because I was hangry, so I was like, "this is too much, thanks for your time - I'm going to just go buy a Mazda." Next thing I know, they've dropped the price and increased our trade in! THEN, we were with the finance guy for like 10 minutes, tops. Easy peasy! Wm refused to come because the last time we bought a new car, he and I sat in the lobby for like 2 hours watching Adventure Time. But, he likes the new car and says it's more comfortable for him than the Forester. Now I just have to get my vanity plates that say "Cricket" and everything is complete!
