It's A Girl!

"Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl, is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves."

-Albert Einstein

Meet my new baby, her name is Lilith, and she is a 2007, Saturn ION. According to Parenthood.com, the name Lilith, means, "Spirit of the Night," in Hebrew. That name suits my new car just fine. See, I am a bit of a night owl, so I tend to do my shopping and the majority of my driving during the nighttime hours. She is a dream to drive, and she has a few of the bells and whistles that were available, such as OnStar, but she is just really fun to drive, so she was the car for me.

Alan purchased the same make and model that I did, only his car is in Cashmire Gold, as opposed to mine in Cypress Green. Buying two cars at the same time, made for a really long, and stressful night at the dealership, but it was kinda fun too. Here is a look at Lilith's first jaunt around town. Saturday afternoon in Berkeley is enjoyable and relaxing. :) I went window shopping, then grabbed a pizza from the Cheeseboard for dinner. Blue Cheese and Heirloom tomatoes.YUM! In other news about town, Cal Bears won over Oregan State, 41-13. Cal is now, 4 &1 :) Makes for a lot of cheering about town!

Congrats on the lovely new wheels, Carly! How neat that you and Alan both got new ones at the same time! There are few things as fun as a new car, except maybe two of them. ;-)

I wasn't cheering for the Bears! LOL! At least Oregon won big, to make up for Oregon State's humbling loss. ;-)

Looks like autumn is really settling in there in Berkeley. No so here....yet.

Cool car! I laughed at your quote about kissing and driving...Karen and I are very cautious and only kiss at red lights...lol!

This time of year looks beautiful on the West Coast. I really must make it over there to visit my family soon...haven't seen them forever.

Hope you and Lilith have a long and prosperous relationship!

How great! I love it. She's a good looking car if I do say so myself.

The two of you will enjoy many adventures together. :-)

Congrats..

Congrats to you and Lilith. Our car's name is Maya.

Congrats to you both. I do hope you have better luck with your Saturn than weve had -- ours leaks like a sieve and has rotted rugs and padding completely... total indifference from the dealers.
