Magical Moments Monday

Although it’s been a tough week – lots of studying and not a whole lot of fun, it’s always important to remember the happy!

Have a great week everyone! I unfortunately will be blog absent for most of it, but I’ll try to make a couple more posts if possible!

Studying & Cubing

Happy Monday, everyone!


Due to my looming certification exam, I won’t be posting on the blog as much as I regularly do. It’s not exactly a hiatus – I’ll still be around, just not as often. I need to focus all I can on studying until I sit for it at the end of January, and am currently accepting all the well wishes and crossed fingers I can get. 😉

With that said, this weekend I became the proud owner of a Nissan Cube! I’ve been eying them since I heard they were making their way to America (remember this post?), so it’s completely surreal to be driving one right now. Three cheers for fuel economy!

Cube-an.

My husband and I are car lovers. I come from a long line of car love and my family boasts some pretty awesome vehicles. Don’t believe me? Check out what I opted to ride in to my wedding rather than the usual Rolls. Muscle cars are where it’s at and I have been making my family very proud ever since I purchased my meaty 2006 Mustang GT, which is an absolute blast to drive and basically the love of my life.

But I may have a mistress in my future and her name is the Nissan Cube. The Cube made her U.S. television debut on Monday night during an episode of Heroes, but she was already imprinted in my heart months prior. I blame this love affair on my husband who showed me pictures and videos of the adorable little car on a whim. We were sucked in immediately. How could you not be? First, the car couldn’t look more Japanese, which is a huge plus for me: sleek, futuristic, modern, sexy. After that, all the positives continued to roll in: starts at $13,990, 33 mpg, 6-speed manual transmission, a ridiculous amount of head room, ipod integration, wrap around rear window, “sofa styled” backseat and an array of colorful add-ons & customization options. Basically, what is there not to love?

Probably the insane dealer mark up & terribly long waiting list.
Cheers!
