I drive a red tazz... nothing nearly as extravagant as these 4x4's but it does the job for me. I love the red too... just a thought though... from experience.... the red does fade in patches and sometimes looks a bit dull.... maybe "metallic" (ie shiny) won't fade as much? Good luck and hope Nissan come to the party without hiking the price at the same time!

Oh now why didn't I think of that... oh yes because I don't wear makeup (no eyeliner in the house!) and secondly I don't shower... bath! But I so understand where you're coming from. For me my to do list always happens when I'm driving.... think I should start using the dictaphone idea as well... maybe then I'll remember to phone some people!

i have put an eyeliner pencil in my shower, so i can write on the tiles. i don't know about you, but i always think of the most eloquent blogposts, the funniest tweets and most assertive emails while i am in the shower. but when i sit down in front of my computer, they are gone. erased from my ...

spring fever again...
last year on spring day i posted this on my blog. it quickly turned out to be one of the most popular posts on my blog ever. this year i cannot do anything to top it. and since it still makes me happy, and many of you have not seen it, so i thought i would repeat it. recycling? regifting? or jus...
Oh I'm so with you on this one... I hate to throw out the last of the soap but hubby can't stand using it when it is too thin... I've just got used to "wasting" it now instead of fighting... the road of least resistance. I still will turn bottles upside down though to get the last few dregs out of them... no matter what they are.. shampoo, liquid soap, tomato sauce, etc. I also like to squeeze the last drop out of the toothpaste. If that's how much you pay for then that's how much you should use!!! hehee.
The rule in our house with food... if you don't finish what's on your plate you don't get pudding... so we always finish our food even if there is no pudding!

I am no digital scrapper... but I collect digital freebies... ONE day I will get there. My advice... get your hands on freebies to inspire you and once you're hooked BUY from ScrapGirls... they're the best. I tend to do hybrid scrapping... do all my journaling on the pc.
