New Year's Friday Five

It's a 2003 GM something or other (I stopped listening after learning it ran lol) and it was a gift from a relative that has been reconnecting with the family. I kept waiting for there to be strings, but there have been none. What's funny was my old car that was falling apart was a 2001 so I expected this 2003 to basically tide me over for 6 months, but it had less than 60k miles on it! And it was so well maintained that I couldn't be more grateful. Considering my 90 min (one way!) commute to school a few times a week and temp work that is pushing me further and further out in the suburbs this car is exactly what I needed. My mechanic says with regular servicing it'll last me a few years, which is just what I wanted to hear. As for the happily coupled part? Well I'm still a bit sore from the last go round, but I'm determined to get back out there. I signed up for an online dating site that claims to be geared toward relationship minded people and so far seems to be living up to that claim. I haven't met anyone yet, but I'm talking to 2 guys that seem nice and to have long term potential. There are also a couple of speed dating events happening in the next two months so I'm considering trying that again. And ummm sinclairwife.... I thought you already were happily coupled? You have frequently mentioned talking to a special guy or did I misinterpret that? Unless by happily coupled you mean taking it a step further and getting engaged? Ooohhhh do tell!

Have you looked into google voice? I started using it as my personal number about a year ago and it's been wonderful. No more long distance charges and I can forward my calls to any phone I want without having to disclose where I am. There is a small charge for international calls, but from what I understand it is much cheaper than most phone companies.
