Waiting with a prayer in my heart, and constantly fighting back tears, for the arrival of a new little girl to join our ranks.
I wish I was there, and am sending my positive thoughts to you and your new addition.
The car we drive is the car I bought when JJ refused to commit his life to buying a car before we got married. Which really threw a wrench in our relationship. He has a hard time with deciding on, well, anything. And I get sick of making all the decisions. So I eventually got sick of following him around looking at cars he was not going to buy and went and bought the first one the dude showed me. Yeah, I am easy. I did not even negotiate. I just took it, used tires and all. It has been a good car though. We have only had to replace wear and tear stuff.
At the time I bought my car, JJ was driving a child-molester-mobile (JJ has never molested children, nor do either of us condone such actions) and I just was not ok with that being our mode of transportation. Hence the ugly blue Camry we drive now. The really good thing about it, is that we have not made a car payment the entire time we have lived in this house, that is a nice feeling.
It is nearing 14 years old and has dull streaks down the hood and rust bubbles near the window, the breaks will not stop screaming and last night during the rain storm it dripped on me as we drove home from a friends. That is the thing that made the car unbearable, I cannot face the winter with a car that is constantly dripping rust spit on me.
So we are on the lookout for a new (to us) car. Since we are cheap, and have no real vanity when it comes to cars we are keeping it cheap, hoping we can pay it off quickly.
Sigh. I hate big purchases.
