I bought a car!

Isn't she cute?! I never thought I would own a white car but I love it.



This car has so many fancy little things, including built in bluetooth! I called my family immediately after buying the car and I'm already sold on the coolness of not having to hold a cell phone.

After a very long week or so I just bought a car! I didn't realize how difficult it would be to decide. I was so afraid that I would make the wrong choice but after I drove this lovely car on Thursday and then again on Friday and didn't feel like throwing up (for the first time in a week) I knew she was the one. It's a she. No name yet but I am taking suggestions! So far Pearl & Blossom are on the list (Thank you Sassy and Gran!).

I have been an emotional wreck this week because of this car junk. I like things to be planned and I like to know what is going to happen and this has been a week of what ifs. SO, to the incredible people in my life. THANK YOU! Thank you Allison, Ben, Chris and Sarah for car shopping with me. Thank you to Ben for not getting annoyed with me for my constant questions. Thank you to Carrie and Brian for the car suggestions (I bought the Versa because of Brian!) Thank you especially to Sarah, Chris, Sassy and my Mom for dealing with random phone calls at all hours asking for advice, crying or just plain whining. (And thank you for answering even though you knew that was what you would be dealing with) Oh and my boss has been amazing as well. She helped me understand insurance stuff, interest rates and made decisions for me when I didn't feel like it. (She's the one that decided that I would just let them total my car and not sell it to a guy at work. I'm so glad I did.)

Oh, and Carmax is awesome.

I feel like blogging. And I think about it a lot. But nothing ever comes of it. Either the thoughts are too personal or too boring or too incomplete. So I just don't write.

What is on my mind right now? Shoes. My favorite shoes have so many holes in the bottom that when I stepped in the grass yesterday I felt dirt go into them and had to take them off to empty the dirt out. I'm kind of pathetic. I know I should stop wearing them but I love them and we all know how hard it is for me to find shoes that fit AND that I love. Someone want to submit my patheticness to "What Not To Wear" So that they can buy me lots of expensive things?

I know you're all dying to see the shoes. The shoes that have stolen my heart. So I'll share, because I'm kind like that.


Oh and don't forget about these. I want them in black and bronze because metallics are considered neutral (Guess who learned that on What Not To Wear).

So, there you go. One thing that is on my mind that I actually feel like I want to share in a public place.

My birthday happens to be in a month and 2 days. I accept gifts (such as darling red shoes in size 13). (Ok if you know me at all you know that I don't actually mean that. I struggle when people give me gifts. It makes me uncomfortable because I feel like I won't show enough gratitude even when I really like the gift. I feel like I will never be able to repay them. And yet I sure love giving gifts. I'm such a hypocrite.)
