I drove hubby 'just crazy enough' to not want to do it again.....

Okay...so a very rough week turns out to have a wonderful, happy ending...at least in my book! The whole car situation nonsense changed for the better yesterday when hubs and I headed out just to play around with purchasing a new car. Honestly, I wasn't sure we'd even qualify, but it turns out hubs has almost a perfect credit score....even better than ME!!! (When did that happen)????  And I was always the QUEEN of trying to keep a good credit score! Ooooh...look out.....it's  SO ON!!

After spending an almost 12 hour day cooped up together riding around to my various visits in his car yesterday he was MORE than happy to take me car shopping!  I must say, we did fare much better this time, you know, in the getting along department.  We were pretty civil to each other.  There were a few times I wanted to scream at his sarcasm and I know he was getting so totally annoyed with me bringing every dog out to introduce them to him...."But, honey...they're sooooo cute!  Don't you want to put a face to a name when I tell you all my doggy and kitty stories each night?"

Hubs wanted a quiet, peaceful day off today, Friday....translation....we're buying you a new car! WHOOHOO!! Well, not new...used...but NEW TO ME!!! Shiny and bright with no poop in the trunk! It's a cute, little Toyota Matrix and I LOVE IT!!!! Usually the highlights of my day are the pet visits but, today, ooohhh, forgive me little canine and feline creatures...today it was the driving! I LOVE IT!!!!! FUNNY-I did not have enough $$$$$ to rent a car for a few days but somehow we "had" enough $$$$ to buy a car!! Only in America!!! I LOVE this country!!!

So...getting back to the reason I started this blog....the forty pounds...I actually felt skinnier in the shower this morning.  You know how some days you just feel skinnier? Translation....I could see my feet-ha-ha! Well, I weighed myself after I dried my hair and...there it was...169.0!! Yes!!!! So, what did I do??? I went out for pizza to celebrate!!!! heeheeheehee Tomorrow I'll talk about some of the changes I've made in these few weeks.  I HAVE changed some bad habits and I'm amazed at how my body is adjusting very quickly to the new habits!  I believe your body wants and craves what is best for it and when you give it a little of that you see and feel good things in return...but...enough about that for tonight....I have, uh, somewhere I have to uh, drive to....yeah..that's it....I have somewhere to drive to....the car is calling and I must answer!!!

Have a great night!!!

  1. Congrats on the new car. But when you were carless you should have just used his car and left him at home. Seems like that would save on some arguments!!!! :)

  2. His truck is REALLY funky...it's a stick shift, but the handle falls off if you don't push it in correctly. Plus, it was snowy and icy and it tends to handle alot differently and I'm not used to that!
