Prius!

Tomorrow I am off to Chicago for my first day on the Abbott project. I'm very excited to start contributing, and also just curious about what it will be like. I am expecting long hours, but when the alternative is to go to the hotel room I think it won't be hard to stick around the office.

I got my car on Friday! I looove it! Faith also has a Prius so we are Priusmates. She gave me some tips on how to hack into the car's system to turn off various 'features' such as a very annoying beep that is heard inside the car whilst reversing. I am able to listen to my iPod through the car speakers, which is a feature I am loving. Saturday I drove down to my brother's to hang out with him, my sweet little nephews, and my mom and stepdad, and I was in my new car (complete with new car smell, mmmm) listening to my iPod on a sunny day with no humidity. The only thing that would have made things completly perfect would have been my husband sitting in the passenger seat. Despite that huge flaw I was a happy bunny.

My other fun toy is my Dyson. Many of you know that I have been anxiously awaiting the day I got a Dyson, and let me tell you my friends it is everything I dreamt of and more. Yes, I am the proud owner of the Dyson Animal, and I can confirm that that baby doesn't lose any suction. 'Not a sausage,' as the British ads tell us. You knew I would take a picture, didn't you.

Some more kitty piccies behind the Prius photo above. Oh yeah and here's a link to a few other funny ones from this weekend.
