New All Around

Well, after promising not to be such a crap blogger, I turned right around and didn’t blog for almost another month.

Anyway.

Maybe I won’t do it again…time will tell.

Let’s see…what’s new in the world of Rachel?

Well, D got a new car. I like the new car, but more than the fact that I like the car, I like the fact that we can stop looking at cars. I actually like looking at cars, but I do not like having to buy them. Actually, more specifically, I want to buy ALL the cars. Well, maybe not every car, but every time we would get in one that was reasonably nice, I would say “I like this one, here is my money.” Ok, that is not exactly what I said, but that is the gist. Too bad that D is so practical. That shiny black Mercedes was really me. Oh well, someday, shiny black car.

I like the car we got, and I also like the fact that we got rid of the gas guzzler. Let me just tell you that getting rid of a Lincoln Navigator in the current economic environment was somewhat of a pain. And everyday that it sat in the driveway, I wondered what possessed us to buy that particular car four years ago. Don’t get me wrong, it was a nice car, but much too big for two people.

In other money spending news, D and I are house shopping.  It’s kind of funny because our tastes in cars and houses are somewhat reversed. I point out little houses, D points out monstrosities. I point out shiny cars and D quotes the MPG.

Luckily though, we can always come to an agreement (usually because the bank forces us to, haha) and meet somewhere in the middle. Right now, we are looking at houses that need a bit of renovation so that we can choose what we like. We also have the blueprints for a house on hand in case we decide to go that route.

So anyway, big changes all around and I’m sure more to come. I’ll get my moving boxes ready…shouldn’t be an issue because some of them I haven’t unpacked since the last time I moved, haha.
