Saturday

This morning I warmed up with Getting Fit Cardio on the bungee with Fitstix cuz missed my favorite cardio song, not having done it for awhile. Then I did half of Katami's Kettlebell Drills till my butt felt well cooked and didn't want to burn it to a crisp. Then I used a band for the upper body in the Getting Fit Pilates warmup and finished with Classical Stretch.

Son is here for his last trip before leaving for the UK till August.

Both of our cars had almost simultaneously serpentine belt problems. Nephew came by and wants our car with the broken serpentine belt and figured the problem was the ac compressor freezing up. Checked our other car and said it just needed the new serpentine belt which had become brittle and everything else seemed fine. He advised us to get a Honda when we want a new car, saying it was the most reliable brand from a mechanic's point of view.

ETA:

I was doing research for the new car online and actually am now leaning towards a Ford Fiesta LOL
Since this will become our only car, I wanted something good on mileage and safe. Its smaller size will be alot easier to drive in parking lots, park in our tiny garage, etc. than the midsize Hyundai Sonata which is the safest and best mileage of the midsize cars. The Fiesta has the best mileage and safety ratings in its class.
So next is the seat and seatbelt tests cuz I hate when a seatbelt isn't comfortable. Our nephew the mechanic had suggested a Honda but the Fiesta and Sonata are the new stars of 2011 so he hasn't had to work on them much, being out of work for quite awhile because of back problems.
