So Vancouver's been tied for third place as ... You know, I'm not even sure. They just keep saying that we're third on some survey of 250 cities...for what exactly is unclear. I'm sure someone out there can enlighten me. Third best place to live?? Based on what?? I just know that we lost points because of crime.

Last night, Mr. Nick and I went to the Vancouver International Auto Show. Those things are such a rip, but since I am on the lookout for a new car, it wasn't so bad. I wanted to check out a few, and I got to sit in them and analyse the storage space. This car has got to last me! I think when I go for test drives, I'll try out:

Honda Fit Spot
Volvo S40
Volkswagen Rabbit

I loved the Fit's storage space! LOVED IT! But that car doesn't really have any horses...109, I think.

I loved the S40s bells and whistles, but I think it's out of my price range. I'm not sure I like the visibility when I sit in it.

The Rabbit is cute and peppy.

And now, time to save up...Next month I'm due to pay car insurance and a plane ticket. We're also taking a short trip this weekend...I'll be starting my saving from scratch pretty soon!

Oh, and the bridesmaid dresses have been purchased. I haven't paid the bride yet. And I don't like the dress either. It's black silk (nice) that's embroidered (meh). And it's empire-waisted, which is my LEAST favourite cut of all time. I always look pregnant in those dresses. I also like my dresses with structure. I might as well wear a nightie.

The bridesmaids might be staging an intervention.
