As most of you know, Bill and I have been looking for a vehicle that gets better gas mileage. Our Jeep Liberty, well, it stinks on gas mileage. We are averaging around 20 mpg, and Bill drives a minimum of 70 miles a day. Needless to say, with gas prices as high as they are, Bill alone spends over $500 a month in just gas for his car. I recently came across a site that I could have used before we put out name on the waiting list for a Prius. vLane allows you to research and compare vehicles with just a few clicks. You are able to even research different options on the vehicle that you want. If that isn’t enough, you can run a poll like the one below.
Now, since we are on a waiting list for a Prius, I thought I’d ask everyone their opinion on getting extra options on our Prius. If you have a question you’d like other opinion on like my Prius question, you can create your own poll. It can be listed only on their site, or you can even embed it on your blog like I have done. You can also search for a vehicle based on total price, monthly price, fuel type, fuel economy, performance, and manufacturers. You can also see (by stars and reviews) what other reviewers of the site think of each vehicle. If you can’t find your dream vehicle on vLane, I would be seriously surprised.
Let me know if you make any of your own polls, so I can go vote for you (either on your blog or vLane)! Also, don’t forgot to vote on my poll!

I have been wanting to post this since Monday. No worries — I am not pregnant and nobody here needs a medical bracelet or anything like that. Since my husband has had to work late the last two night, we haven’t had a chance to go do this yet. Figured it out yet? Well, I’ve blogged about it and asked everyone to tell my husband why we should get one of these. No idea, yet? Well, Bill decided (unless he changes his mind again which then I will have to kill him) that we are going to go put a deposit down on a Prius! We test drove my sister’s car. My only complaints have to do with things that I will just have to get use to. As soon as we put our deposit down, then we go on a 4-6 month waiting list. Unfortunately, we don’t get it right away, but it’ll allow us some time to save. I really didn’t want two car payments at the same time, but what are you going to do? The Jeep’s 20 miles per gallon is killing us when gas is so darn expensive.

Now, I am only 31. I shouldn’t be forgetting important things like there being a $10 gas card that I needed to take to go get gas. I put it out on the table, so I wouldn’t forget it. I’m not quite ready for medicare insurance yet, but man, nothing is worse than standing at the pump at BP and realizing the gift card is still sitting at home. With gas being over $4.30 here a gallon, I could have really used that card. I wish this was the only example of my forgetfulness, but it’s not — it’s just the most recent. LOL
Am I the only one out there losing her mind? Do I need to start drinking ensure? LOL

Its been a rough week or so at my house. Honestly, I think I would have preferred being at some vegas hotels than be here. I have to thank you all for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers. It does actually mean a lot to me.
I also have to give Elizabeth from Table4Five a shout out. She offered to drive to my house (which is around 5-6 hours from hers) and give me hand if my parents were unable to come. Now, how awesome is that? I am hoping to get some Will birthday pictures up tonight, but Bluehost in being a pain again and I’m having problems with my sites. As I am typing this, I am not sure if I will even be able to post this any time soon.

I have catching up on all my shows that have been TIVO’d all week long. I am so glad that the writers are back! I was getting bored watching reruns that I have seen a million times already. So far tonight, I have watched Criminal Minds, Numbers, and CSI (Las Vegas). It still floors me that on these shows that they can find a fingerprint on, say, a gold bangle and in less than an hour find the killer. I just realized that all three shows are of the same genre — cop shows. Each is very unique and I love to watch all three of them. I am still waiting for new shows of House, Bones, and Deadliest Catch.
What shows are you anxiously awaiting?
