~#4 for us~

When Tommy and I were in Las Vegas, my girlfriend Susan and I laughed about how I am 38 years old and I no longer had a car to call my own.

Really, it has been since May that I have not owned a car. It is nice that I have not had to make payments (but I didn't have payments before I traded in our Excursion either) but Tommy started getting antsy since we need a vehicle to seat 7 come October.

I am not complaining at all. You see, I actually think it is funny all the looks I am getting when the people in my neighborhood drive by. It appears that we are either the Soprano family of our neighborhood, I have an illegal job that pays a lot of money under the table, or every car Tommy stops at work comes home with us and we get to drive them around for awhile..... Don't I wish!!!

I mean after all, we went from this one......

to this one........to this one......and now, we have finally made a match. I fell out of Love with the white one almost 3 weeks into our relationship. She was cheating on me and I don't take kindly to that. The problem then arose that Escalades are hard to come by right now. In May they were a like sunshine in AZ on a July afternoon.... EVERYWHERE. Today, unfortunately, not so much. I was not willing to pay a shipping company to ship a "used in the snow vehicle" either. I probably could have taken serious advantage of this situation and just driven loaner after loaner until the end of the year, but that was getting kind of old.

This morning Tommy got all of us up for family breakfast out. We ate and laughed and enjoyed our family time. This was the first time our entire family has really eaten a meal together in 12 days. We needed this time together to basically catch up and to see that Jax is growing so much he is capable of eating a double cheeseburger at Village Inn.....That really scares me!

Then off to pick up this pretty girl.

I really think it is gonna work out this time. I even have a temporary tag on her this time, when all the others had a dealer plate. I took the time to bathe her and polish her up. After all, all girls love their tootsies all shiny and bright. I found myself talking to her a little too... and Dozer jumped right in and slobbered on the back seats as a sign of true love for this red hot lady! Not keeping my fingers crossed or putting my whole heart into her yet, but I think she is the one..........

After all, I thought that the 3rd time was supposed to be the charm, but being the family that we are.... maybe it is the 4th time for us!!!!.

I told Tommy if this does fall through, I am getting a bug and the kids can walk.......I am so over this whole new car thing.
