The Outback

Nope...I'm not going to Australia (though that would be amazing too)...I bought a car!!! Woot! Don't you think it's a perfect car for me?! Here's what I'm excited about (now, I won't pick it up until Tuesday so there's still time for there to be a snafu but...):

  • It's so pretty!!!
  • It's a new car!!!
  • I feel just as secure in it as I did in my Sante Fe. (I was worried about it not being high enough.) 
  • I can't wait to play with all the bells and whistles (Apple carplay which means I can hook up my phone and use my phone through my car!!! And Siri will even read my text messages to me!) 
  • Adaptive cruise control - you can set the number of car lengths you want to stay away from the car in front of you and then the car actually slows and stops on its own!
  • It has a camera for backing up!
  • I'll have a gas gauge that works again!
  • There's plenty of room in the back - Jim had to sit in the rear when I test drove and he had plenty of leg room!

Now, like I said, I'll be going in on Tuesday to finish up the paperwork, trade Jim's car in and get the keys so there's still time for something to go amiss. Really the only thing that needs doing is the trade in...we'll see what we get for Jim's car. Fingers crossed it's a couple thou!  So yeah, Jim's getting my car, which he's very excited about. I just hope he treats her well. She was a very good car to me.

So tomorrow, I've taken off work. I actually took off work for Jim's PET scan and then doc appointment. His PET is at 7:00 AM and it'll take about 3 hours. I expect to be able to make it to the dealership around 10:00. I'll leave for his doctor's appointment around 2:30 or so...I'm a little nervous. Hopefully all is still well.

And that's all the excitement that we had this weekend. I finally completed ALL the leaves so that's a relief. We played cards Saturday night but mostly hunkered down and hung out with the pups in front of the fire.

I have a dentist appointment after school...gotta get my grill cleaned. Other than that, nothing exciting is happening today.

K - I'm out...time to get a move on. Although it's crazy early since the pups woke me up before 4:30...turkeys. Of course we all went up to bed at 7:00 so it's understandable (I read until 8:00 or so).

Happy Monday...later!
