new car !

We've been wanting a new car for a long time now. Clarify...I'VE been wanting a new car for a while now. It freaks me out that jack drives EV around in the Metro (even though its only to and from daycare). I don't even want to think about what would happen if they were in an accident.

This year I've been my own business. I don't know if anyone is really aware of that but, yeah, I'm a free agent so to speak. So I've had to set aside a certain percentage of my income in preparation for tax time. Well, tax time came around and there was some extra left! Yay! So, time to look into getting an upgrade.
Isn't she pretty? We got a Honda CRV w/34K miles on it. It's got leather seats, a moon roof, radio controls on the steering wheel, heated seats (not that I need them in TX, but hey, not complaining that they're included), 6-CD changer, satellite radio ready, a few other fancy pants features. I love it. The drive is smooth and feels "solid". I drove a Nissan Rogue and a Hyandi Santa Fe as well as a Kia Sportage to compare. The Kias are inexpensive, but for a reason I think. Not like super bad, but not the smoothest ride ever.

We went to Caaaramax (spelled imperfectly for a reason) and had a great experience. no haggle at a competitive price . They also have a 5-day money back guarantee so you can return it for any reason within five days and get a full refund. Our mechanic will be inspecting it for us on Thurs. Let's pray they find nothing! I love this car.

We did some drawings... Bunny loves our friend's dog bed, she would not leave the dog bed.

We went to BW3's the other day. Evie acted poorly :( and we almost ended up leaving.. but at least she got a free hat

Very determined look during a bath. Roxanne made some sand art

Evie went to a petting zoo, she was a little afraid, then a pig squeeled, and she was a lot afraid. This was about as close to the animals as she would get.

I wasnt about to let her get a pic with "Cowboy" the longhorn.. odds were too great one or both of them would freak out.

EV loves her chair!!

Evolution exhibit revisited

During J Lo's visit we were able to visit the Texas Memorial Museum yet again. We love the place and take just about everyone who comes here there. As some of you may remember, they have a great evolution exhibit on the top floor and the comment book provides us with much amusement every time we go. I have written about some of these comments before. Below is a little update on some new comments.

Good question? Unfortunately I don't think you will find the answer in a museum.. or anywhere for that matter... but I admire your asking... kudos. I frequently write"What is love?" and "Why are we here?" on comment cards, just to be deep, so I know where this guy is coming from.

Ah "I really didn't want to come to this exhibit, but I had to" let me translate that: I live my live according to these 3 monkeys.

I will not open my mind to any new ideas.. I will meet them not with skepticism, but rather a closed mind."

Sounds like the words of an Evolousion expert to me. "How could all thise stuff come out of no where?" Good question.... I have no response to that.... However, I'm sorry, I missed the section in the exhibit where they argued against Jesus dying for you and me. Good counterpoint though.

Anti-evolution morons use this argument all the time and I love it. It basically states, that they have no problem with a say finch species, over time, giving rise to 2 species... or organisms in a species separated by a geographical barrier, diverging from each other over time... However when you propose taking many of these"micro" phenomenon and placing them back to back to back.. over millions of years... then they have a problem! No! Evolution is not a tree! only tiny branches.. very tiny branches coming out of the ground (Creation).. kind of like grass...ugh. The inability to see that macroevolution is just many many microevolution steps strung together over time always baffles me.

This is my favorite... First, You don't have to be a believer... I am not a "believer" in the Pythagorean theorem, but I am aware of its validity. Secondly NO ONE EVER EVER SAID WE CAME FROM CHIMPS! We have a common ancestor... whose bones have been found. Its a fact.

"I will ask God when I see him, You can ask King Kong."

Does it get any awesomer than that? I think not.

Here we are monkeying around with some chimps that ate 99% similar to us at a DNA level, but we clearly have no evolutionary relationship to.

Good day.

J Lo visit..
