Hey there. Yup, they were all out of Mazeratis so I had to settle. lol We have a friend that we go to for all our car needs. The guy has our complete confidence when it comes to getting us a vehicle that we need and at a great price. My wife got her 2 previous cars from him, and they both ran perfectly. My mother in law got her car from him, and she's had no issues with the car, and my brother in law got his first car from him as well and again, absolutely no issues.
So you ask, "big deal. You're supposed to have no issues when you buy a car." Well, he's the deal, the cars he sells are all salvaged. Yup, that's right salvaged vehicles. Now, I usually would not recommend getting a car that is labeled salvaged since you really don't know what went down with the car, but our friend here has been in business for decades and not once has a customer come back and say he's given them a lemon. That's pretty damn good considering that he's the one that does all the body work and paint. You pretty much go to him, tell him what you are looking for and he'll try to get a vehicle that matches what you need. He won't get something that he doesn't believe he can fix and he won't get any make that he deems crap.
We told him we needed something roomy. We were shooting for a Mazda MPV or a Nissan Quest. He told us that the Quests were crap. Since they came out, he's seen many of them come in for repairs for all kinds of manufacturer screw ups. So we scratched that out and he said he'll try to get a MPV or something similar. He ended up getting us a 2006 Kia Sedona. As you can see from the picture, it does need a paint job and the damage was minimal. All it needed was a head light and the front bumper. Our car can be ready for pick up by the middle of next week. We can hardly wait. The car we have simply cannot accommodate a family of 6. We just dont have the room. With the Kia, we can't complain that we do not have any room. Until then, later.

A Stomach Bug Must be Going Around
Hey there. There's a stomach bug roaming around the Metallman household. A week or so ago, out little one threw up in the middle of the night. She got the stuff all over her bed and we ended up washing her sheets and covers to clean up the mess. As soon as she got better, my wife started to feel ill. She too ended up throwing up in the middle of the night and got over it in no more than a day. Now, our older daughter threw up in the middle of the night. The difference this time around is that she has a fever. She told me that she threw up in the middle of the night, but she said so nonchalantly that I didn't think to check her temperature to assure that she was well enough for school. She was up and about like any other day. No signs of sickness at all. I sent her to school and before we know it, I get a call from her grandma that the school sent her home. high fever and all. I didn't send her to school this morning. She is here at home, with me, my wife and the baby.
Our concern at the moment is that this is bug seems to be contagious. I don't get sick very often so I don't think I'll get it and our boy isn't showing any signs of picking it up. Considering that the baby is a week or so old, we're trying to keep the germs away from him so that he doesn't pick up this bug. Especially since he doesn't have anywhere near the immune system that everyone else has. I talked to our daughter about sicknesses being contagious and why it's important to sneeze into her elbow and why she needs to use sanitizer and try not to get to close to the baby when she's sick. She understood and is currently sitting in her room playing some Nintendo DS game. Something about being a vet. I'm sure that if she feels better, she'll want to play Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
She just walked into the living room and sat next to me. I'm sure she's feeling a little lonely since her siblings are not here to keep her company. I'll catch you guys later. Later.

Rock-A-Bye Baby Music is Just What I Needed
Hey there. Have you heard of the Rock-A-Bye lullaby music? Oh man, it's great. I am a fan of classical music and when I first heard the Rock-A-Bye music, I just needed to have it. It's lullaby renditions of some of the top rock artists' music. They have albums for No Doubt, Green Day, Led Zepplin, Tool, The Ramones, Metallica and many, many more. We bought a few of the songs for the baby not too long ago and we finally put them to use last night. Paint It Black (The Rolling Stones), Hotel California (The Eagles), Schism (Tool), were just a few of the songs that we purchased. The little one loved them. He listened to them for a bit, taking in the melodies, before he started to drift off. We don't have the Metallica rendition yet. I wanted to have the actual album opposed to buying the songs online. I'm ordering it right now! Check out the selection of Rock-A-Bye Baby music here. There is something for every one. Whether it be classic tunes or more modern rock acts. Rock-A-Bye baby will have your taste. Later!

Motivational Sunday - Simplicity
Hey there. We've all seen motivational posters before. Whether it be a cat hanging on a wire with the phrase. "Hang in there" or something with the phrase, "Seize the day" sprawled across some scenic background. Recently, the motivational poster has evolved to include anything and everything. Some are hilarious, and other are risque, yet, they all fascinate me. Each time I come across one, I need to see it. I'm curious as to what the message is behind the picture. I'm going to post one every Sunday. Just a little something to start the day. Here is the first one and definitely one of my favorites. Later.
