Went to a Lexus/Toyota dealership yesterday. Boy was looking at lexus’ (IS 350 & IS F models), as I was looking at the grandma corollas. Gotta say, I like the S model of them, and they’re so comfortable inside. Just the ones I was looking at had a lot of mileage on them for how old they were. They dropped the price by 1,200 on a corolla I was eying. Still pretty expensive for an ’05 model though. I’m not set on anything yet, ’cause I haven’t test driven any. Save that for this weekend I think. We’ll see.

Today is supposed to reach a high of 23ºC. I’m wearing my capri’s (or bermuda shorts, as a co–worker worded them) at work and totally taking lunch outside today. I don’t really have anything that interesting to tell you all this morning, so I’m going to leave you all with a playful website I found thanks to some friends. I’ve had way too much fun doing this. The last two images are ones I snapped of my hunky boyfriend. HEE HEE. Visit the site here.

Holy hannah, the world cannot get any smaller can it? Us Newfies are everywhere!

I work at a small two branch Credit Union (as a Graphic Designer & Marketing Assistant) that has about 40 employees, none of which are in my age category unfortunately. Back on topic. Naturally small Credit Unions do not have in house solutions to compliance and fraud detection, so of course they out source. The Finance Dept. Manager came over to my office this afternoon and presented a printed envelope with a name/company and address.  She jokingly pointed out Newfoundland Dr. on the envelope and said “As if they couldn’t think of a better name for this huh?“

(The next part really points out my ditzy personality.)

I smiled and said  “Oooh that’s neat. We actually have a Newfoundland Drive back home too!” Then my eyes wandered up at the company and I clued in that I’ve heard that company name before. I was thinking and thought that hmm, bet this isn’t in Ontario! Then my eyes scrolled down to the city and province. DUH — It was indeed,  St. John’s Newfoundland!  So I got all kiddy and smiley and said to the Finance Manager that “I totally know someone who works at that company!” She asked for his name, and when I told her she didn’t know who he was. We then went to another one of our co–workers who speaks to people regularly, at this company asking if he was a hottie and what not (haha!). I told the story about how he’s an Engineer and my BFF is one, and used to go to Engineering parties all the time when I was in school. It’s sort of how I met my boyfriend. I was friends with his best friend  (the guy who works at this company) for a while, and then met my boyfriend through him!

Needless to say I was pretty excited that we did business with this company. The the envelope addressed to the Administrative Assistant, (I have no idea how big this company is but I’m assuming it’s not absolutely ginourmous because I know what the outside of it looks like) so I wrote a little “hello” note to my friend! Hopefully the admin. assistant knows my buddy and will pass my “hello, from nancy ***!” note on to him.

Tee hee!
