I'm Sexy and I Know It

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

I took the quiz 'What kind of runner are you?' from Active.com
You live and breathe fitness. You eat right and incorporate all sorts of fitness workouts into your routine. You run a few miles at a time a few days a week to boost your cardiovascular endurance and to help get that sexy core. You know all the latest fitness brands and love wearing the latest Nike pants or lululemon top. Bikini season is year round in your books, so you stay on top of your fitness regimen.

While I don't fit 100% into what's written above, it's pretty close! What about you?

And it links to races that it thinks will fit into your running style! Kinda interesting.

so... I'm emoticonshopping. Now getting a new car is always fun, but I kinda don't want to! I've been the run them into the ground and don't have a car payment kinda emoticon

But my BF wants
emoticonme in a safe, dependable car
emoticonhave the car be worth something at trade in time
emoticonthis helps keep me used to the lastest car prices
emoticonnot have to put extra money into car except wheels & snow tires
emoticonmust have On Star
emoticonand he kept going and I feel like the kid in the Subaru ad where she's like 5 and getting ready to drive and then flashes to a 16 yr old saying 'okay Day okay'

So...I'm probably going to get a Chevy Cruze on Friday. Of course I am getting one w/o all the bells and whistles, as in extra charges, but did have to upgrade a 'model' from my Cobalt to get auto start, so there are plenty of bells on it. It's a 4 door too! I am so used to 2 doors unless it's a van!

I don't know if I'm frugal, cheap or realistic but I don't buy things I don't need. (And YES! I need all that running gear! that doesn't count!) But I don't need a new cell phone. I have an iPhone3 and it works great. Yes I am up for a new one on my contract, but why pay another $100 or so when I don't need it? Besides, I just bought a new cover for this one! That makes it new right? It's a different color than the old cover!

Well my BF teases me about my phone because I do not have the talk option that converts to text and says I need that. I retort back that HE made need it, but I know how to type and do just fine thank you.

So last night, he very mischievously said since I'm getting a new car, I HAVE to get a new phone as the new car comes standard with bluetooth. I almost smacked him! He is appalled that I don't even KNOW if my phone is bluetooth ready or not. Anyone know? Bueller? Bueller?

    Love this blog, too funny!! I hope to go car shopping by the end of the year (keeping finger crossed for a raise soon). My 99 expedition has 265,000 miles on it, wanted to make it to 300,000 but don't think I will, only drive it to the gym now days.

    good luck with the car shopping! We changed ours last year to a low-fuel-use one and it has saved us a fortune! Petrol v expensive in the UK emoticon So agree about not getting unnecessary stuff. My phone is swisher than I'd normally get and I don't use half the functions because I don't even get a decent signal at work. Agggh!

    If your BF is making all these demands on your choice of car, I hope he is at least helping out paying for these extras.
My uncle bought a new car that came with On Star free for a year, but he didn't want his car talking to him so he didn't keep it up ;-P. He says his cell phone is good enough for emergencies.
Neat quiz for you, but as I am not a runner, so I don't think there is a point to me taking it, but those things are fun..Like the what kind of animal are you, was my favorite..
Have a Wonderful Wednesday!!

    I loathe car shopping. Usually my husband picks it out, drives it home, I test drive it and tell him yes or no. Then we go in together to sign the papers.

    I'll have to go try that quiz. I always get stressed about new car shopping - I have a nice 10 yr old Camry that I expect to get another 10 yrs on - then I can stress!

    If I have a few minutes, I'll take the quiz. It's got you down pretty well :-)
Yay for a new car!!
I think the 3G has bluetooth. It may or may not be compatible with the new car, though.
