Niki's Neverending Adventure

I got my first Blog Award today from the lovely Meggers!! This is so exciting!! Thanks girl!!




The challenge is to list ten not so cute things about yourself. So here it goes...


1. I don't have very cute feet because of all the calluses I accumulate from running!! Doesn't really bother me anymore, but don't think Al likes it too much! Haha


2.I absolutely LOVE to sing but I am horrible! I sing so loudly when I am all by myself, especially in the car. I am one of those people who you see rocking out in their cars like no one is around!


3. I am not a clean freak when it comes to cleaning bathrooms. I will let it get dirtier and dirtier until there comes a point where I see things that should NOT be growing in my bathroom, then I clean it! Gross, I know.


4. I could care less what I look like when I run or play soccer. I'm sure I look awful most of the time! Haha


5. I could wear jeans and a Tshirt or my pj's everyday for the rest of my life. Al doesn't enjoy this much either!


6. I have no self control when eating sweets, especially brownies! I will eat and eat until I feel sick!


7. I love ketchup on everything! Fries, eggs, sandwiches, you name it ketchup goes on it!


8. I have semi -oily hair and if I don't wash it everyday you can start seeing the oiliness, but sometimes I don't care and wash my hair everyother day! That's what ponytails are for!


9. My left ankle that I hurt a few months ago is still pretty swollen. I think I will have a cankle for life on that side! Haha


10. I am NOT a germaphobe whatsoever, and you think I would be with all the funk and germs I see on a daily basis at work!

Movin on... I have decided to buy a new car and need some input from ya'll!! Here is some background first... I absolutely LOVE my Yukon I have now. Unfortunately it has 135,000 miles on it and I don't foresee it making it through my 2 1/2 years of anesthesia school coming up. I had planned on driving the Yukon until it died, but now I'm thinking that might not be a good idea seeing that I will be living on student loans for the next 2 1/2 years. So I am thinking I should go ahead and buy one now! I am looking at used cars, somewhere around 15k or less. I am definitely an suv girl, but I think it would be smart for me to get a smaller car to save on gas while I'm in school. So, I have been looking at the following cars:

2005-2006 Nissan Altima

2006-2007 Honda Civic Hybrid

Ok girls, I need input. I have friends who have all 3 of these cars and I have heard great things. I am kind of leaning towards the honda civic hybrid! The only issue with that is it will probably be the most expensive and slightly harder to find! But I think it would be great to have! My friend who has this car absolutely loves it and hardly ever has to fill her gas tank up! Plus the inside of the car is really neat looking too! So which one do ya'll like best or is there another car you would recommend? I'm definitely open to other options!!
