Oh, I'm fine thanks, and yourself?
Haha, yes, this is SOME weather we're having. Yes indeed-y.
What's that? Well, nothing really new. Except one little tiny thing...
I BOUGHT A CAR.
YES, THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS TRUE. I bought a car, as in purchased with my money that I have (or had. Eek. When I wrote a check for thousands of dollars, my checkbook was all "uh, for reals? Don't you need this money to blow at Target?"). I bought a Saturn Vue in "storm gray" that looks kind of like this:
Actually, exactly like that, but gray. It is CUTE and has On-Star and the gear-shift is between the seats so I can pretend like it is a manual (oh, I love to do that, you do too, admit it!) and my parents surprised me by talking to the dealership and having a sun-roof installed as a graduation present! And it's NEW. As in BRAND NEW. As in I AM TERRIFIED I AM GOING TO BREAK IT.
So right now if you know me, I know what you're thinking (and I thought that if you would be reading this, you'd know me except that the readership of this blog DOUBLED inexplicably this week, and I'm convinced that there is some hate-site about me somewhere and people are reading this blog so that they can go back to the hate-site and say mean things about me-see the crazy that goes on inside this head?). You're thinking, as your eyes well up and your lip quivers, but what about Big Red?
To which I answer I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. I had to sell him to the dealership and they are going to send him to an SUV farm where he'll play with the other SUV's and there will be room for him to roll-over and guzzle gas and he'll be happy AND IF YOU TELL ME OTHERWISE I WILL KICK YOU IN YOUR FACE. I'm thrilled to have a new car, i have waited to have a new car since forever, but I'm having a much harder time with giving up Big Red than I ever thought I would.
Anyway, in the next entry I will be eulogizing him. So I need from you a suggestion for a name for New Car, and your fondest Big Red memory. Scappa, if you're reading this, it's gotta be the time the coolant exploded and fan belt broke and we were stranded on the Beltway and almost didn't graduate from high-school, am I right?? So leave a comment right....NOW!

Mazel Tov on the New Car!!! That is fantastic. New cars are great. My favorite Big Red memory was when he got written all over in paint. That was fun. He was a good car.
Ohhh Jen....you think your car troubles are care free mama...let me fill you in on what my nice new 2006 Saab named Babe did to me the other week! So there I am driving in the AM rush in NY...and Babe decides to start violently shaking and 2 seconds later BREAKS DOWN in the middle of the freakin Highway...umm chello...I did say 2006. So, it turns out Babe needed her whole fuel pump and tubes replaced...great...gotta LOVE brand new cars...Did I mention that I was in the middle of a highway...good luck...ariel
The car will be wonderful and terific and amazing and you will love it. It will also take us on many a new adventure like to Natural Bridge VA and Wal-Martinsville VA. I think you should name it The Green Machine after all of the $$$ you are spending on it. Can't wait to break it in!
