Hey Con, I was just thinking... maybe you want to get some advice from a professional mechanic before you choose a vehicle to purchase. I'm just sayin'. (heehee)
Well, I wish I was in Houston enjoying turkey, mashed potatoes and the whole bit....including ending the night with some shopping! Black Friday deals. So sad I'm gonna miss it this year.
So, I don't think I've told you guys (besides mom) that his Hummer deal fell through. Well, it was a go, we had the money in the bank for it and everything. Well, Gavin was going to meet this guy (Mike - owner) at 3 pm at the Transportation office to transfer the title and all that junk....well, Mike calls at about 130 and says that he was just at a traffic light, and he went to take off, and nothing.....he was getting the Hummer towed. Transmission needs work. Needless to say, he returned our deposit and we're looking again. We went out to the automall last night to take a look around. We looked at a few vehicles. There is one that we're gonna go look at tomorrow...in the light. It's an 07 Hummer again. Black. Only 24k kms on it. The story is (so we're told), the previous owner is the owner of Geant (closest you'll get to WalMart) at Ibn Battuta Mall. He just bought 2 new vehicles (Bentley and Porsche) before Eid (about 2 weeks ago), and he left his Hummer at the dealer for them to sell. Anyways, the interior is almost perfect, small imperfection in the dash...a button missing...and the outside has a few knicks in the paint. We're going to look at it again early tomorrow.
Tomorrow, we also have some appts to look at places for rent. I can't wait until we have a place. This apt living is annoying. Having to take the dog out on the leash everytime he needs to pee. I think he's on a pretty good routine, so I appreciate that. It will be nice to let him run around again...and so Gavin can chase him in the yard. Everything is tile here so he gets no traction and I don't want him to wrap himself around a table leg or something. We don't need to be making any trips to the vet. He does like to lay out on the patio and park himself in the sun. After a few mins he'll come back in the apt panting. Funny little man.
Gav and I went out for Thanksgiving dinner last night. He had a beef pie with mashed potatoes and gravy. I had pizza. We did our cheers to Thanksgiving over that meal! hahaha. Maybe we'll have a real meal at Xmas.
I might go for my first trip to Abu Dhabi this week. I think Gav (and Gary) will be going almost everyday this week....so I thought maybe Gary's wife and I can tag along and they can drop us off at the mall, until they're done. I haven't been there yet so if we do go, I'll have to do my research!
Well family....thats all for now.
Love Conster.
PS Lor, thanks for the gourmet meal tips. I may have to try that.
Ah Con... ur such a rookie! It's easy... turn oven on, it doesn't even matter what temperature. Just somewhere around normal. Dump some things in a cookie sheet and slide it in. Voila! Sometimes if you want to mix it up a bit you can take those cookie sheet goodies and cook them on the BBQ instead! For example, chicken burgers, or chicken wings. Then you call it a gourmet meal.
Not sure what will be going on here....probably not too much. Maybe moving. Don't know if we'll have a tree. Probably not. Its packed. Guess it depends when we get in a place....still looking but feels like its a never ending project. You would think that these people just dont' want to rent out their places. So annoying. Nobody calls back.
Anyways, nothing new around here. Did some retail therapy yesterday, not much though. I wanted to make some turkey today....but I don't have wheels to go to the grocery store...and you can just imagine what it would be like to drag Gavin there after work. I guess I'll have another cookie sheet dinner....Lor, how do you stand it?!?!? :)
Peace out.
Yup, I plan to get a tree today. I need to find a stand though. Everywhere you buy a tree here they nail a 4x4 stand to it and a water bowl. Thats right... they nail through the water bowl to attach it to the bottom of the tree. Needless to say... it doesn't work very well. Couldn't actually water the tree last year without it leaking out the bottom. Made for a dry brown tree. :-(
You can't have "Mr. Nick-Nak M & M". I rather like him....oops Dad is the one who has all the M & M characters. Maybe I should be putting them out! He's really cute Lori. Do they have lots of Christmas things out? I'm curious as to whether you will have a Christmas tree. Thanks for sharing. How did the shoot go? Haven't had time to check out the new site. Hopefully later this week.
