I've been real busy this past week trying to replace Kitty (my beloved 95 Ford Contour,) I sort of neglected the site.

After visiting several dealers, and calling on several newspaper ads I realized that Sales is a sheisty business. Ray got me a good deal with his friend's fiancee's car, though. I'm so happy. I got a 2001 Honda CR-V 4WD SE, fully loaded, 63k miles, sunroof and leather interior. And for the first time ever, I own a car with an alarm system. w00t! It's has some cosmetic damages, like a scratch on the bumper where someone backed up into it, and some scratches on the wheel casing on the back, but all these things can be fixed for about $600 that includes having a new bumper and wheel casing painted to match the car. (Or so Ray says.)

Now that I have the car driven home I need to worry about: 1) Paying it off 2) Paying for the car tag 3) Paying for insurance 4) Getting an oil change because the previous owner's advised me it was due for one and 5) Getting some gas in it because the previous owners "timed it just right"

I've been working a lot of overtime too. Notice most of the list above consists of things to pay for. I think that's the most important thing. So lately I've been laying low, staying at home, trying not to spend more money, and working hours to get more money. Money doesn't buy you happiness they say, well it really does make it worse when you're parents are stressed and your boyfriend is stressed and it's all YOUR fault. Hmmm... I think I have to grow up now, there's no other choice. Sorry ladies and gents can't party hardy anymore.

Well, I dunno, ring me...maybe I can be swayed otherwise.

P.S. Need new car name - GO!
