More Awareness Darling

Well, I'm afraid my computer might be dying a slow and agonizing death!! I've had trouble with it quite a bit this week, which is why I haven't posted anything since Monday. (I really had intentions to share this stuff with you before now, the last day of October!!). But such is life. {sigh}. My car is also dying, as in it's actually probably already dead. I drive what the locals refer to as a "Maui Cruzer" (translation: complete piece of crap), but it's been paid off for years and my insurance premiums are practically free and it gets awesome gas mileage AND it has done a fairly decent job of getting me where I needed to go since I moved to Maui 6 years ago. Sadly though, my Maui Cruzer is going to be donated (most likely to the Alzheimer's Association) later this week. That means I will be shopping for a new car soon. But the thing that sucks the most is the timing - isn't that always how these things work?? Joel leaves tomorrow for a week on the mainland and he drives a standard. I do NOT drive a standard. I understand the concept and all, but it just doesn't happen for me. So we had to go rent me a car to drive for the next week - to the tune of $330 (ouch) - until he gets home and we can go car shopping. I must say though, after driving to Kihei this morning in my rental, it is quite nice to drive something that doesn't sound and feel like the tires are going to vibrate off at any second AND the air conditioner actually blows cold air. But guess what!?!? It even has this really cool thing they've invented called POWER WINDOWS and POWER LOCKS!!! LOL. (My Maui Cruzer didn't even have that!!).

Ok, anyway, enough of all that. On to the remainder of my Awareness Darling creations for Clear and Simple Stamps.

So that's it!! I hope you all did something this month in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and if not, there's still time - go feel yourself up and give yourself a self breast exam!!! LOL. It's important!!!). Sorry I had to lump all these cards together in one post - I meant to slowly share them with you over this week, but as you can tell from my earlier venting, it's been quite the week around here!!

And I haven't forgotten about the promise of Blog Candy. I'll be sharing the details on that tomorrow (Sunday) night if all goes according to plan - it will be worth the wait, I promise!!
