Cut because I love

New Car 1

New Car 2

I'm starting to feel better, although today was pretty awful. I'm that exhausted you only get from emotional upheaval, and lots of crying. And I still have work to do. The fact that it's a VERY nice ride, smooth, powerful, elegant, is helping lots. Also it's cruising speed appears to be NINETY. Jeebus. I felt about ready for takeoff! I miss my car, I miss it's familiarity - I'm not one who deals well with change, it explains a LOT about WHY some people are still considered "friends" when they shouldn't be - but I can get used to this.

He's not a boy, not a baby, more like a slightly older gentleman, determined to show me the finer things in life, and I think I can do that.

The poor saleswoman was astonished at the depth of my weeping. She expected a bit of attachment but not to this extent. *grins*

I swung by the Haus of Cats and Bunnies to show off the car, mostly due to wanting to take a ride and it being convenient to where I was in Watertown. I'm glad it IS a nice ride, confirmed by tk7602 and dancer, and it IS a much bigger car than I'm used to. *sighs*

I wish I had enough energy to just drive. I REALLY want to pick up maudlinkitty and go cruising with something inappropriate on the radio, and dis inferior guys from the safety of the speeding car. *grins* (Pssst K - I DO want to drive out and show off my ride - anytime good for you? Probably has to be a weekend tho..... YOu need to drive this thing, so smooth!)

OK I need to go put my leftover Chinese away (enough for lunch tomorrow, thanks for the recommend, B!) and get into my PJs to work on my client stuff. I won't have time tomorrow. Feh.

Nice car.

You're welcome to visit. This weekend is pretty busy. Next weekend may work. Just let me know!

Yeah, after I wrote this I realized this weekend is probably bad for me too. Also, there's no inspection sticker on it yet. They have to do the transfer at the registry, THEN I can get a sticker. I have a "temp" in the glovebox, and it's already paid for (it had better be!) so all I need is the actual registration to get the formality out of the way.

However, the likelihood of that happening before next Monday is slim. So, I'll pencil time in for next weekend, and we'll cross our fingers. it would have to be Sunday. (I have to work Saturdays now)

You should SEE the cute stuff in the backseat for a carseat! AND there's a sibling splitter - an arm that comes down in the center of the back seat. I can't help but think how much better my mother's life would have been if we'd had one of THOSE when I was a kid! *grins*

I still miss my Ford :(

I miss pretty much everything right now actually.

But the n00b is so pretty!

*sighs* I don't suppose you want me to say just come back? I mean around here, things aren't the same either.

People keep congratulating me, and while I DO like the new car, he's not MY car, at least yet. I need to get to the mindset of "mine, too." The BEST scenario has me in my fixed and pretty car, but the fact is he was QUITE done. I knew it, he knew it. I really feel like I put my best friend to sleep. And now I feel like a traitor. But it IS just a car, after all, and not a pet. I'd just done everything in that car And I mean everything. *grins*

He is a sweet ride. I'll be more willing to pick you up now that I'm sure my car won't break down in Brockton. Although I will NOT be parking him there! *grins*

But I have a new car too! But even that doesn't feel like MY car yet either.

I know I should come back but I'm not ready to deal with my family on a full time basis yet. Eventually. I give this another year at most.
