Adios, Weekend

Yes, that's Dubai tag #1 on a Bugatti Veyron. Actually I'm not 100% sure if it's a Dubai tag because it says UAE (United Arab Emerites). If anyone knows, please correct me!

My weekend was pretty chill. I went up to Mikey's on Friday night and spent the night. We just chilled on Friday night and watched a movie. We went shopping all day on Saturday - it was way fun but REALLY cold. I actually bought a Lacoste fleece jacket just so I could walk around haha. I returned it like 4 hours after I bought it.

We went alllllll over South Street, mostly to consignment shops, vintage clothing stores, and Fabric Row. I got a vintage Christian Dior tuxedo for $70 hahahahaha that is an INCREDIBLE DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean. It's an *okay* deal...

I also got a beautiful blue Zegna dress shirt. Neiman Marcus' price -> $295. Jordan's price -> $4. Haha. I love when that happens!

Mikey got some fabric for his schoolwork. Gotta love him...

Today was the annual meeting at Hope. Boring. It was only one service so it went by quickly. I left about an hour into the meeting to go to lunch with Robin and Anthony to discuss the Gala Concert. I got home and did a 225-question Series 6 practice exam and got a 72%. Considering that you need a 70% to pass, I'm feeling pretty good. There are three chapters I really need to review so I'll do that tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, I'm going to bed. Catch you all soon ;)

Aretha + Inauguration = HOT!

Ugh look at the mass of people! I love this video. It's just so inspiring. Look at all the people! They're all gathering for the inauguration of a great man to be president of our country. I love the shots of the VIP section. UGH! Imagine being up there!

Tags in Dover

Today I took a random trip to Dover and saw some pretty awesome tags. Here are the pics:

FT1 = Farm Truck 1 = the same family that has tag 5 and tag 16

Not a bad day for sightings! The gold tags were all out today - I guess because everyone is back in session. So yeah - pretty chill.

Kyle replaced my hub bearing tonight so I took him and the girls out to dinner at Friendly's. My car sounds so good! There is barely any road noise - just a little from the tires but it sounds a million times better! I get to see Mikey on Sunday so that's exciting :]

Time for some Series 6 stuff. I have one more chapter left, then the reviewing and hardcore studying begins. Test Tuesday. :]

A New Birth of Hope

Today was inauguration day, a great day in American history. Barack Hussein Obama was sworn in just after 12pm as the first African-American president of the United States and it was a wonderful day of celebration. Here are some pictures from the day. For some reason this is all I can find...



I will post some more in my next post.

Tomorrow I get my new wheel hub for my car and I will be installing it myself. I am so glad to have a nice smooth ride. I just hope that it's only the left hub that's causing the noise...

Today I shipped out my model cars to Mr. C in Argentina. Alvina and I went to the Middletown post office with my three boxes, only to find out that the boxes were too large for an international shipment. We had to purchase six smaller boxes and additional packing tape from USPS - it ended up costing me $650, which is $200 more than I was prepared to spend. I got home, sent Mr. C a copy of the receipt, basically begging him for reimbursement. He is not legally obligated to reimburse me but I think it's only fair, seeing as though he wanted the cars no matter what. I'll also be updating you on that.

Oh well. I'm off to bed soon. Talk to you all soon!

Tag 5, Series 6.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom and I went for a mid-winter trip to Rehoboth on Thursday 1/15 and we ran into tag number 5 on Rehoboth Ave. UGH! What a milestone for us! Here's another picture...


We also saw a few others, such as 178, PC25, D12, and PC411. We also saw FT89 in Smyrna but we all know I don't use farm truck tags...

So I got home, Tom left, and I got a text from a friend at Hope, who sent me a picture of PC68! Ugh! But that's not the best part. I logged onto Facebook and posted the picture of 5 on my group and my friend Ryan replied back and told me he had a picture of C3 hahahaha UGH!

Tom said it best - quality, not quantity! Our tag number average for the day is 105.67. The typical average is usually above 250. Ugh. I love. My life. :D

In other news, I failed my insurance retake heh. I talked with my manager at MetLife and he told me to focus on the Series 6 exam and to worry about the insurance portion later. That's fine with me.

I also got new tires. Cole's Auto installed them but they didn't fix the noise problem. Moreover, my rear right tire went flat as soon as I left their lot. I took my car to Sports Car Tire in Wilmington yesterday and they fixed the rear right wheel (dirty port?) but they gave me a run-around about the noise issue. I spoke to a Les on the phone but someone else ended up helping me and I did NOT care for him. The new guy told me they were going to go a speed force test and that it "should" fix the noise problem. I am going to call on Monday and get a guarantee that this will fix my problem. I don't mind spending the money - I just want a good diagnosis, ya know?

Well it's my dad's birthday today so I think I'm going to put this tool set together for him, even though I know it will get unorganized as soon as he touches it heh. Later!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to everyone! My Christmas and New Year's was good...

Christmas was pretty standard - went to my Aunt Tammy's house and mingled with family. We had a carol sing-along - pretty bad haha. When we got to The Twelve Days of Christmas no one knew/remembered which gifts went with which days and they were [drunkly] arguing with each other as to which ones went where. Good old family...

I took the Delaware Insurance exam on Tuesday 12/30 and I passed every section but one :[ I have to retake it on Monday or Tuesday. Oh well. Then I take the Series 6...

New Year's was great! I headed up to Mike's immediately after the insurance exam and I spent a few days with him. We mostly just shopped and on Thursday we went to Philly yo hang out with Tom for his birthday. We went to the Plymouth Meeting Dave & Buster's - good stuff. I got a REALLY nice Burberry scarf and gloves at the Burberry store in Neptune, NJ. I got a really good deal too so that made it even better :D

Well it's Saturday morning here and I work at 4pm today. Today I have a few errands to run and I have to study for my insurance exam retake. I'll talk to you all soon.
