To Infiniti..and Beyond!

This new will surprise many of you...we are no longer a Subaru family. Nothing against subaru..we still love them and will probably always miss them. But every 3 years..I get an itch. I think it is genetic. I find myself being drawn to car lots and websites..turns schmerns. So..without further ado..my new baby..2007 Infiniti FX35

It is a beast. And..oddly only 1/2 second slower in 0-60 from my turbo car! VERY fast, sports suspension, 20 inch wheels, nav system, memory seats, lane departure, automatic cruise control, blue tooth..you name..it has it. and it drives like a sports car..only..don't get in my way. She is a wide one..

But what might surprise even more of you..is this...

Yes..you are seeing correctly. Jason's car is not only for sale..but has sold! He decided he wanted some extra cash to play in the stock market with so he can buy his new Porsche. So he is looking for an older model convertible to tool around in while he plays with the cash. Trust me..my jaw was on the floor when this plan was hatched as well.

So for the first time in 5 years, we don't own a Subaru. But the greyhounds won't mind. ;-)

We still have Henry..going on 7 weeks. Not exactly sure what is going on there, but just a reminder of how stinking cute he is..

But..not the brightest bulb.

The weather has cooled off and everyone is enjoying the yard.

We are watching Amy for the weekend..she enjoys the big yard too.

We had some visitors this fall..they started out small and just seemed to 'sit' on my parsley

When you poked at them..they did this..

They got bigger

And my parsley got smaller

I found out they are the larval form of the Black Swallowtail butterfly. So i patiently waited for them to form a cocoon so I could see them become beautiful butterflies. Repayment for my parsley, I say! But then one more I went to check on them..and there was nothing left but sticks. Not a green leaf to be found and not a worm to be found. Where did they go? No way they became butterflies over night! They crawled away. But to where? Very weird. I may plant parsley next year just to see if more come.

Oh..and I got my identity stolen this week. Beware of paypal! and check your trash folders in your email. My 'thief' set the filter to send all their emails and paypal emails to the trash folder so they could find them but I didn't. Then had some fun with my credit card! Luckily, all passwords are changed, cards are cancelled and fraud investigations are underway. I had a few choice words for them.
