Hello Friends – do you want to make the 1st Monday of the summer better?
Then do what I do, think of your favorite summer songs, you know the ones that you just have to hear every year no matter how old it is…the ones you only listen to when it’s hot outside or when you’re on vacation?
Okay, now download, stream or pull them up on Pandora, turn up the volume, then sing along loudly in your office or cubicle – sike…don’t get fired…or carted off to Bellevue, just sing quietly and chair dance!
This is the list with link to my six favorite summer songs.
Sundress – C.o.C.o Brown & The Phat Cat Players
Under The Boardwalk – The Drifters
Hot Hot Hot – Buster Poindexter
Heatwave – Martha & The Vandellas
Summer songs and summer wear seem to go hand-in hand, hence my #1 jam, so when it’s hot all day everyday, I prefer a sundress. This is one of my favorites thrifted from GW Boutique.
Infinity Scarf – Target (clearance)
Sandals – Ross
It’s getting HOT out here!
Have a fantabulous day – Smooches!

Car Shopping – Kia
Posted on: March 19, 2013
Last Sunday, hubby and I went looking at cars (here) to replace our son’s 2002 Hyundai Elantra. We only looked at used vehicles so today my son and I went to Martin Kia to look at new ones. He was interested in the Kia Rio so we walked through the lot peering inside, checking the prices and reviewing the safety records.
I guess the dealers inside sensed we weren’t looking to make a purchase because no one came out to greet us until we were about to leave. The internet has really changed the way people purchase their cars so the dealers can give you more time to browse and are in less of a rush to make a sale.
From the exterior the 2013 Rio 5 Door was the perfect size, the interior features were standard and included driver, passenger, front side and side curtain airbags, with 4* NHTSA safety rating. The estimated gas mileage of 28 city/36 highway wasn’t great but considering my son doesn’t travel far it was acceptable.
Same features in the Rio 4 Door
Saturday we will visit a Hyundai dealership to check out the new Elantra, make a comparison and hopefully an opportunity to take test drive.
