for me? why yes!

2007 Chevy Cobalt LTZ Coupe - ALL MINE!

I decided that this post needed some text to this post, so I'm sharing with you my car experience. Now that I am full time and considered permanent at my job (as opposed to student working whatever hours I want!), have a guaranteed income and some stability, it is time to get myself a vehicle. I blew the head gasket in my little sunbird in December and have been relying on the bus, my family, Jeff, friends ('specially Lynnel and Angela!) and a couple people from work here, to get around and it has been verrrrrrrry inconvenient for me and probably for them as well! If you have had the "opportunity" to give me a ride (am I 16? yes i think so), well then I thank you!!!

So I took Friday off (my first PAID holiday day EVER = big deal), and dragged my dad and Jeff all around the city with me. We started off looking at Sherwood Chev and was this close to buying a brand new Aveo... but I just couldn't buy the first car I looked at, plus I wanted to check out the Yaris and the G5. So went to Toyota, ended up test driving a Corolla but guess what guys, I'm not a mom. And I don't need a mom car. The G5 was next, followed by the upgraded G6, both hot hot cars. The G6 was a bit big for me and the G5 was priced right. This close once again.

Jeff from Chev called wanting to know if we were coming back for the Aveo. Boyfriend Jeff tells Chev Jeff that I loved the G5 and that we were getting a really good deal there. Chev Jeff tells BF Jeff that if I would come test drive a Cobalt (the Chev equivalent of the Pontiac G5) that they would give me "a smokin deal" that I couldn't turn down.

Indeed, Chev Jeff was not kidding around! I ended up getting the Cobalt for the same monthly payment as what they had offered me the Aveo for and it's a much cooler car. BF Jeff was amazing at working the price down, and I was sooooo happy to have him and my dad helping me! They were the ones who convinced me to get a two door! They say I have lots of time for practical four doors in the future :) Dad says I'm too cool for a four door right now. haha. thanks dad! I also got a graduate rebate, where Chev pays my first two payments (sooooo great!) AND a $1000 "loyalty" rebate because my dad has the astro van registered in his name! We thought it was hilarious that the 1994 van qualified and not the newer Grand Am, but whatever, I got $1000 bucks off!

So here's the specs for anyone who might care. It's a 2 door, white 2007 Cobalt LTZ with an upgraded stereo (hello it has a 10" sub woofer, and 7 speakers which I think is hilarious! Fergie is going to be working hard!), it has XM satellite radio built into the system, a remote start (YESSSSSSSS BABY!) that detects the temperature and turns the heat/air conditioning on accordingly, and it's an automatic which I wanted. Yes I can drive a standard and yes it may be a bit cooler but I just wasn't in the mood for all that work anymore. It has fog lights, ABS brakes and upgraded wheels which BF Jeff was adamant about getting b/c he is moving (saving for another post) and I will be doing much more highway driving. The only thing I wanted that I didn't get was a sunroof which added another $15/month to my payment and I just decided against it. I told myself I can either have the remote start or the sunroof and I definitely think I'll be happier with a warm car in -40 degree weather. The only thing the Aveo offered that I wanted was an Ipod but I figured I may as well buy myself one if I really wanted it that bad. I don't think I'll need it with all my satellite radio options though! I also get a 5 year/160,000 km powertrain warranty which is AWESOME!

So they are bringing it in for me from who knows where, and I don't get it till Wednesday or Thursday. Until then, I dream about it! And look at it. I am so excited!

Let's take a look from the back, shall we?! Pretend it's white:

oh hi! you're freaking hot!

okay bu bye.

weekend in edmonton

so its monday again! time flies. thought i'd try to write a quick blog today. quick because i have a very busy week at school and i have a whole lot of work to do today. i have a midterm and an assignment due tomorrow. then i have my usual 5-6 hours of prep work for my night class on tuesday... or wednesday if i want... we get to pick what night we want, and although i highly prefer tuesday's class, i rarely have it all done in time! by far, this class, which has run all year long, has taught me more about international development than the rest of my classes combined. and the prof hardly does any of the talking... it is entirely student discussion with the leadership of the prof. anyway it is a lot of work every week. i'm now counting down the days till i graduate!

so our trip to edmonton was much fun! we got there Thursday and went straight to rexall center to the hockey game. we were 1.5 hours early but there was lots to do. we were in the very front row against the glass, so we had club seats. that meant we got to go to the lobby where only club seat people got to go! we had a roast beef dinner buffet and sat at tableclothed tables and ate among "the elite" :) haha. when the oilers went onto the ice, they walk through the lobby so everyone down there got to cheer and stuff when they walked through from their dressing room to the ice. it was kind of exciting. as you can see, we got there before just about everybody else!!!


our seats were fantastic. the players look so young up close! i made two awesome signs for us, and they took this one (to the left) away from us! they weren't allowing anything that had to do with the ryan smyth trade and kevin lowe, the guy that did the trade. yah the officials didn't like it, but everyone in our section thought we were heroes. i'll have to post a picture. we got to keep the other sign (below) but it was definitely not as cool.

well the oilers lost 0-5 againsts minnisota so jeff wasn't thrilled (as you can see by the look on his face here) but we still had lots of fun! friday we got up, had breakfast, and hit the outlet stores and Ikea. had lunch at Joeys (we NEED a joeys here. so delic). sat night we drove to jeff's aunt and uncles house who live about an hour outside edmonton. they had horses.




saturday it was west ed mall time and i was having shoppers bloc as i called it. i couldn't find anything to buy and i was kind of grumpy. jeff was having a shopping spree and it was just making me sooooo mad that he found so much and i didn't like anything. anyway he bought me a shirt at banana republic to get me going and then i was fine from there on. shopped from 11 am till 7 pm.

sat night we were so exhausted we didn't even go for supper. we had a really late lunch so we weren't starving at least. but we could hardly move. so we watched "the departed" at the hotel. SUCH a good movie. and promptly fell asleep.

sunday went back to the mall because i still needed a pair of jeans and some black work shoes which i never did find. but that is okay, because i underspent on my budget and have some money left to buy stuff here. this is absolutely amazing news.

all in all, successful shopping trip and so much fun. i bought: 2 pairs of shoes from Aldo (one pair is the sexiest shoes i have ever owned...they are dressy, but i want to wear them everyday), a Mexx blazer, a sweater from Abercrombie & Fitch, 2 shirts from Banana Republic, a tshirt from the Gap, a pair of dress pants, 2 camisoles and a strapless bra (need that for summertime!). oh yes and a hat.

2 things i learned:

1) $500 does NOT buy a girl a new wardrobe. not even close.
2) Jeff is the best boy shopper EVER. he was sooooooooooo patient and he even picked stuff out for me to try on. he bought me a shirt when i was sad and he wasn't grumpy at all, even after 8 hours of west ed shopping. i was so proud of him.

still need to buy: black work shoes. dress for the numerous weddings i am attending this year. pair of jeans. sigh. i need more money!!!

anyway, like i was saying, jeff really was the perfect companion on this trip. if he didn't come into a store with me he would just wait outside with his blackberry and play poker or suduko or something. he suggested i go here and there and picked stuff out for me to try on and gave me his opinion and so on and so forth. perfect. i cried cuz i was frustrated about not finding a pair of jeans (i cry about dumb stuff sometimes) and he was okay with going back to the mall on sunday. he even wandered around ikea with me and he hates that store. so i was very impressed with my wonderful boyfriend this weekend.

thats about all for now. hope everyone had a nice weekend as well!




thought i'd add a couple more pics. sadly i only pulled out my camera at the game... i have no other pictures!!!!

and only one of jeff and i...

i love how i look terrible in both the pictures! ah!

oh well. the point is.... we had fun!

not another manic monday!

hello!

i have had a most wonderful day.

my dad and i had eye appointments this morning and we knew half the office, what a laugh. and dad picked out the coolest new glasses for himself. the lady who helped us was such a dear, she continually kept saying, now Blaine, lets try these on! oh Blaine, what do you think of these? every sentence started with Blaine. but she wasn't annoying at all. she was very nice! and also had the hottest glasses on that i had ever seen.

next, i went for brunch with my mom, Jenna, Kyle, Kayden & Haylie and Jenna's mother in law, Beryl. i had the best hash browns ever. and my niece and nephew are the sweetest and most fun ever. kayden is getting a mohawk today. i'm super nervous to see him. i hope its cute.

then mom and i headed to the new walmart and i bought the most random and fun assortment of things. i took a picture for you all to see!

So, here we can see THE most fun little desk organizer i have EVER seen. it's so mini and it fits all my stationary stuff!!! i was very much in love with it from the moment i saw it.

next we have my plastic magazine/file organizers. MUCH needed, as i have some cardboard ones from IKEA and these are much sturdier.

then we have my tide to go stain remover! how fun! what a great thing for my purse. i can't wait to get a stain. hopefully not too big of one though!

and finally, my puffs to go Ultra tissues, which i actually came in a pack of 6. they are perfect for home, car, purse, work and school bag! ah!

not pictured here, i bought some Olay face toner and a huge box of Special K, but i didn't feel like going upstairs to retrieve those items. but they are not forgotten.

i spent much time looking at cds and pondered so long over which one to buy that i did not buy any. i considered many options. i looked at Keane (i have recently fallen hard for this band - check out a song called "bedshaped". i have the live version on my myspace but its better not live), The Fray, Goo Goo Dolls, Fergie, City & Color, and Gwen Stefani. then i thought about replacing my old cranberries cd that is long lost and was a favorite. couldn't decide so came home with nothing. hahaha. i ruled out fergie and gwen only because i was looking for a cd that Jeff would actually like listening to in the car on our drive to Edmonton. anyone have any other suggestions???

oh yes and Rascal Flatts on Friday night was sooooooooooooo awesome. here's a pic of jenna and I before the show:

we had wicked seats. I have some videos from Jenna's camera (I FORGOT MY CAMERA!!! i was so mad), but i will upload those on youtube and post them later. jenna has been bugging me to do this for forever. oops. my favs were My Wish, Broken Road and What Hurts the Most. oh yah and "skin" although i normally am totally sick of that song. performances are always different though. they make the songs come to life. it was completely amazing. they are 3 extremely extremely talented guys.

there was a gong show after the concert but i amn't (i wish that was a word. i use it secretly in my head all the time) going to get into that now. lets just say it involved missing out on hanging with the guys from Rascal Flatts at the Longbranch (okay not that they would talk to me but still, they were there and i coulda been too. who knows maybe i could've had a two step from one of them!) because i was too busy in the parking lot with a verrrrrrrry unhappy boyfriend, a non-existent tow truck and a part of the car on the ground that was supposed to be attached to the car. yep. not good.

well now that my day is half over and i haven't started my reading for my night class on tuesday, i am officially doomed. so i must go before i spend most of the night awake reading World Bank reports.

And America's Next Top Model starts again Wed night!!! YESSSSssssssssssssssssssssss.

i have saved up mega bucks for my edmonton trip (we leave thursday) so i am totally pumped to go shopping at Jacob, forever 21, the Aldo outlet, Ikea, MEC (we're getting new camping equip), and ALLLLLLllllllllllllll those other fabulous stores saskatoon doesn't have. yet. i am firmly believing that i can branch out from my regular "simple classic" style (aka boring. my shirt in the pic above shows this in and out) (my earrings are cool though. but they are jenna's!) and get a few pieces that are more exciting and slightly more trendy. not too trendy of course. no no, not me. i am not flashy! but even just a few accessories (earrings and headbands are on my list) and shoes will do the trick. and i totally want something polka dot. mmhmm. yummy.

okay world bank reports here i am.

bubye friends.

girl blog...

i bought a bridesmaid dress today! for my friend Angela (aka angelina jolie), getting married in August! i realize i have a no shopping rule for one more month but this is mandatory.

it's G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! I'm in love with it. it's bright blue KIND OF LIKE THIS! except its more turquoise than that... anyway. it's so pretty. it's very light and flowy and 3/4 length and strapless and it is so far my most favorite dress ever. it's totally a "Kristin" color(after PINK).

side pause: Tania - no fear, i have no doubt that i will love our dresses for your wedding just as much!!! I just haven't seen them yet, he he. soon we will pick them out!

i love dresses and owning dresses. i love shopping for them and i love looking pretty in dresses and getting to wear high heels and pretty earrings and putting on make-up. i LOVE this part about being a girl. JUST LOVE IT.

i also love weddings, and i definitely have my fair share of them this year:

Kristy-Anne/Darryl - July 27/07
Jeff's cousin, Stephanie - July 07
Jeff's other cousin July 07
Kerri/Rob - Aug 11/07
Angela/Kim - Aug 18/07
Raina/Garrett (Jeff's friend) - Sept long
Tania/Clarke - Oct 13/07

That is SEVEN freaking weddings. i have to go "wedding guest" dress shopping! i was at Bryan's with Angela looking at dresses for her wedding to see if we could possibly go cheap (so didn't work) anyway they have ALL their summer/fall dresses on sale BIG TIME right now and i love about 100 of them. BUT NO CAN DO UNTIL MARCH. am i making the wrong decision? i mean i have 7 weddings to go to, 5 of which i will not be wearing a bridesmaid dress. i currently have 3 dresses that will work which not too many have seen...i think i need 2 more.

no i am still going to wait for my Edmonton extravaganza. oh is Jeff ever going to have fun!!!

i heart shopping. and the bus.

i have a confession to make. i went to centre mall. i mean, the circle at centre and eighth (i don't want lynnel to accuse me of being an old lady again). and i shopped a teeny bit. but i have to say, the ONLY reason i went there was to get some pants hemmed....and it was only going to take 1 hour....so i figured i could have a minature look around.... and i only spent $10.00.... here's how it went down. i went to bluenotes, which i don't even like, but i had to buy new mitts - new mitts are OBVIOUSLY an exception to my rule because i lost one of my mitts and i live in the coldest place on earth. so that is completely okay. right? then i bought a shirt. it was $4.00. is that okay? i had to think it was. like $4.00! really. you could hardly buy a bottle of water for less than that...in disneyland at least. so THEN, i was strolling by la senza, and ladies, ladies you need to pay attention here, bras for $8.50 and undies 5 for $10.00.... it was simply an opportunity one cannot pass up. you all understand right? to make it more okay, i had a gift card that i recently found from 2005! yes over a year ago. so, once again, i believe my actions are justified because i had a gift card. are we all okay with this? i felt i had to confess my shopping sins on here. okay i'm better now, moving on.

i took the freaking bus today. as mentioned, i no longer have a car since the stupid head gasket blew, so i rely on my daddy and jeff and my sister, and my mom drove me once, although she is my least favorite driver because she tried to drop me off on the street in front of my work place! everyone else takes me right to the door. and when jeff drives me, we stop at starbucks. all expenses paid. ha. anyway, all have proved themselves faithful in this horrible situation i am in. until this morning. so the bus, it really isn't that bad:

Pros:
i like how it is 2 seconds away from my house and that it drops me off right in front of the university. i like how it is toasty warm inside and that the driver this morning was kind of cute. i like how it is full of university students and as far as i can tell, none of them are carrying guns or bombs (i've been scared of busses since speed came out. you can never be too careful!). i like how the seats look like they have been recently recovered, and that they say "saskatoon shines!" on them. i like how if i actually make it to the bus stop on time that i will make it to History 10 minutes early, not 20 minutes late like usual.

Cons:
i dont like how i don't know what stop is the best to get off at because the driver passed the street i needed to go down and i'm too scared to ask him if he is going to go onto waterbury drive or not and that i got off way too early and had to walk 10 minutes to actually get home. ha ha, i laughed at myself. the walk was nice though, except that i had forgotten my new mittens at home that morning. oh well. i also don't like how it takes 25 minutes to get to school and that it won't wait for me if i sleep in a bit. i don't like that this morning i skipped two classes because i was dreading figuring out how to take the bus and then when i actually tried it it was very easy. i suppose that is more a con towards myself though. i love to sleep in so much.

so yes it was a cultural experience this morning. i love thursdays because i'm done at 1 and i don't have class tomorrow so that means no tests, no papers and nothing due on fridays. AND it is Grey's Anatomy night and The Office and even the stupid O.C. which i haven't been watching this season but i still have a small part in my heart open to it. i just saw the preview for "The Hills" starting Feb 5 and i'm super duper excited about that. i heart the hills.

well, my sis is here with my sweet baby and boy so its time for me to babysit for a couple hours. bye now!

my pledge

Jeff and I are going to Edmonton on March 1 from Thursday to Sunday. We're going to an Oilers game on Thursday, even though I am a DIE HARD (haha) Calgary Flames fan. I have a sticker on my car to prove it. Anyway obviously I am not die hard because die hards do not enter Rexall Place. I'm just going along for fun. I promised Jeff I would cheer (I'm gonna cheer for Minnesota but don't tell him that). We are sitting in the very front row by the glass so we'll see all the action, blood and sweat. Sounds lovely.

I am making a proclamation on my blog regarding spending money on clothes until this weekend:

I hereby solemnly swear that I will NOT spend any money on clothes until March 2, 2007.

At this alleged time I shall proceed to spend every hard earned penny I have on clothing at West Edmonton Mall.

I will not go to Midtown Mall - not for ANY reason (that is too risky).
I will not go to Centre Mall, unless I am going to Zellers or Safeway.
I will not go to Market Mall, unless I need a round of mini golf.
I will not go to Lawson Mall, unless I go on a lunch break and bypass all clothing stores and stay in the food court, Starbucks and London Drugs.
I will not go to Confed Mall because I never go there anyway as it is far away, dirty and skanky.

Beginning March 2, 2007, I will enter the WEM (hand signals please, Kristy-Anne and Lynnel) and proceed to purchase shoes, boots, jackets, jeans, skirts, pants, shirts, bathing suits, hats, business wear and casual wear. Oh yes I will.

Hopefully I will anyway... that depends on how much I save. (Hey at least I'm saving on car insurance. Who needs insurance when you have no car.)

Signed,

Kristin A Eagle

this may be the hardest thing i've ever done. yikes!

blogging is my christmas gift to you

many have commented, both on my blog and in person, of the extreme joy they are receiving because of the amount of blogging i have done recently. you're all welcome. think of it as my christmas gift to you, hence the title of this post!

this is the first Monday since august that i have worked and it was very difficult to get up this morning. you see, all semester i had a seminar class from 12:30 - 3:30, so i usually got to have a leisurely Monday morning. it was AWESOME. today is NOT AWESOME. it SUCKS getting up at 7. I've got this weird thing going on where i feel extremely faint and nauseous in the morning for about the first hour after i wake up. it's happened a few times over the last 6 months or so and again this morning. so i waste 20 minutes of my already very crammed morning (i'm late for work every freaking morning) lying on the bathroom floor. very strange. i don't know if its a dehydrated thing or a sugar thing or what, but well, a blog is not the place to talk medical things :)
soooooooo ANYWAYS!

it's CHRISTMAS in case you hadn't noticed! i love it. it's such a lovely time of year. i just wish that it would stop snowing in saskatchewan. i mean seriously HOW much snow do we need? it's very lovely but we don't need 18 feet of it. 2 would be sufficient. it's just annoying driving around on these bloody streets and brushing all the snow off every morning, afternoon and evening. back to happy thoughts. i am THIS close to being done christmas shopping. i just have to pick up something for my parents and for jeff, but i know exactly what i am getting for all of them so i can do it quickly on one of my lunch breaks this week. and i LOOOOOOOOOOVVVE wrapping christmas presents, just like tanys mosher, so i get to do that this week. SO FUN.

jeff the little bum has a birthday on christmas eve, so i have to do double duty this time of year. its hard to separate birthday and christmas, and the poor guy has been sacrificing birthday his entire life, so i try to do something. i think this year we are just going for dinner somewhere nice. i'm copping out a bit, but he has a wicked stocking. see, i can't help but combine bday and christmas. sucka.

i went to Bad Ass Jacks for lunch and it was superb. i was annoyed cuz right before i got there, 4 boys beat me in line and they took FOREVER. arrrrrg. i was so hungry and just wanted my wrap right now. but i had to wait. and then it was so hot i burned the roof of my mouth. brutal! but soooooooooooo tasty. i love it there.

this weekend i went to a fabulous party at the redekopp's farm near dalmeny. they had made soooooo much food and there was tons left over cuz the roads were so bad that a lot of people didn't end up coming. and they had karaoke and dance dance revolution. if awesome food, karaoke and DDR don't make a party, then I DON'T KNOW WHAT DOES. it was really fun. then lynnel and i went home and watched....

MEAN GIRLS! yes i bought it! no more whining. it is so funny. it was totally worth staying up till 3 am to watch.

saturday lynnel and i did some christmas shopping, and we just ventured out to the circle mall. lynnel thinks that only old people call it the circle mall. she calls it the center mall. everytime i say circle mall she bursts out laughing and calls me an old lady. Well I never. i blame it on all the old people i talk to everyday (who by the way, are ALL traveling to Arizona for the winter, which makes me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo jealous). anyway my whole point is that we did not even dare attempt to conquer midtown. no siree. i bet its even worse than walmart there. walmart is like a whole other culture - everyone there is so rude and so grumpy! i watched two ladies purposly hit each other with their carts the other day because neither one of them wanted to wait and let the other one go by in the aisle! i'm serious! it was insane.

sunday i went and bought a pair of pants for work. at smart set. they are way way way too long. so i go to 'stitch it' to get them hemmed. they can't do it till FRIDAY! HOW RIDICULOUS!!!! so i am pissed off and am wearing them long. it's my new style i guess. does anyone know anyone who can hem my pants for me??!!! like come on now stitch it, pick up the pace.

yes so i think that is about all for now. my cell phone is broken in literally two pieces so don't try to call me on that. i'll get a new one after christmas. or maybe i'll get a loaner for a week? we'll see. i love how this blog has brought me through the day. it's already 2:03. okay bu-bye.

love, me ;)

yah so...

ah yes a new blog today. it's about time, right megan? it's been too long but not too long compared to kristy-anne. ahem. anyway, life has gotton a little bit easier lately. i am finished all my esssays, projects and assignments, except for one little group presentation on wednesday afternoon. i'm not worried about this because it's not academic at all, it's simply talking about my volunteering experience this semester. i'd like to say in my presentation "i am so happy i did this because it will look so good on my resume" but i think i'll refrain and just state that here on my blog, for the record. yes that is a smart idea.

well let's see what is new. hmm i need to buy a new dress in the next few days. unless someone out there has one i could borrow for a night, that'd be great too. i need it for jeff's christmas banquet in winnipeg next next weekend. i want it to be just right... oh sigh, so much pressure. a girl at work here says she has one for me, problem being she is a little bit teeny tiny, so unless the dress has an umpire waist, i can probably kiss that goodbye. oh the issues of being a GIRL! i also need new fancy shoes/sandles, as the ones i had that i loved got washed away, along with most of my shoes and other things.

i guess thats what the insurance cheque is for (i thought it was for shopping at H&M in Manhattan).

hmm well sorry to disappoint but i just don't have anything else to say. lame post, i know. i'll try better next time!

simple things

a girl at work here found a very funny website that i have added to my links. breakupnews.com. it passes the time when i'm done reading everyone's blogs each day!

i just got back from my lunch break. at lunch i got in my car and started to drive down the street. for the first five minutes i had no idea where i felt like going... do i drive home and eat in a hurry but free? do i go to subway? should i eat by myself at earls? i eventually found myself at the lawson heights mall. the mall never fails. for lunch i had a quesadilla from booster juice, a carmael macchiato (i just realized i have no idea how to spell carmeal... caramal?) from starbucks for my tiredness and a refreshing walk through the mall. i also bought some shampoo and conditioner by redeken. i've recently been told that redeken has the best color care shampoo out there, so i thought i would give it a try. i like lawson heights mall because of all the cool stores they have, like twisted goods and peppers and whatnot. i started to look around for a father's day gift today and i got some ideas but i know that dad reads this so i can't give any hints.

okay i know that i said i would get over tv, but "fire me, please" is seriously the funniest show i have seen in a long time, it is ridiculously funny. you all need to watch it for a good laugh. the concept is pretty obvious... two people compete to get fired from a job; the person who gets fired closest to 3:00 pm wins $25,000. oh what a laugh.

alison is here! it is so great to see her. i think we are declaring this evening girls night... if anyone wants to come over, call my cell phone. but you must be a girl. i was thinking we could go somewhere for dessert or something like that. tomorrow evening we are having a few people over as well, a "friends of alison" party. if you are a friend of alison, feel free to come over tomorrow around 7ish, with an appetizer in hand please and thank you.

that machiatto thing is finally kicking in, i'm loving it. it's way better than a nap!

yah i'm pretty sure i'm all blogged out. i'm a little disappointed that tyler is the only one who answered my tough questions on my last post. but thanks tyler for stepping out! maybe my blog is simply too mindless to ask difficult, deep questions. maybe i should just try to stick with what works. simple stuff :)

oh i looked up that word. it's caramel. thanks word document spell check.
