Clint's Jetta was in the shop for the better part of last week getting the headliner fixed so we could trade it in, and we spent most of that time sharing a car......well, my car. I have a 2005 Mustang that I bought brand new in '05 and have taken extremely good care of, so I'm a little hesitant to share her with anyone. I’m not really what you would call a "sharer" anyways. Being the only girl in a family of boys I never really had to share with anyone and so when I was growing up and people wanted to borrow my things I didn't really know how to react. I mean people share? What is this crazy concept? I’d like to think that now that I’m in my 30’s (eek!) that I have out grown this….. I haven't. At least not with Clint. Now I know what you're thinking, but we're married what's mine is yours and vice versa. Wrong. What's mine is yours if you can take care of it properly. I'm not saying Clint doesn't take care of his car but let's just say I would take care of it differently. So having to share a car with him was an experience. Don't get me wrong, it was nice to have Clint drive me to and from work, who doesn't like being chauffeured? But it also meant he got to go out gallivanting all over town in my baby. She's the first new car I've ever owned and so it was a little hard to hand over the keys to someone else. Especially since the first time Clint drove her he ran right into our trash bins in the garage. I'm learning to let that go.
And now I need to learn how to share properly because as of yesterday we just bought a brand new 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, and she's beautiful! I thought we were just looking but we both ended up really liking it. Not to mention the dealership was having a good deal and we actually got what we wanted for Clint's trade in so we figured what the heck, the stars are all aligned lets go for it. So we drove her off the lot that night. Technically she is "our" car but seeing how I'm pregnant and it's getting harder and harder climbing in and out of my car I'll probably drive it more. So I guess I need to get used to the idea of Clint driving the Stang. Not to worry, I'm still going to keep my eagle eye on him, make sure he's treating her right. J
Isn't she purdy!
I'm also pleased to say we are the proud owners of a new washer and dryer! Well not brand new it's a year old, but way over due. When we got married back in 2007 and moved into our house my grandmother was generous enough to give us her washer and dryer. Which was nice but I kid you not it's from the 1980’s. I’m talkin push buttons and all. I will say this, those bad boys have lasted over two decades and are still kickin. They just don’t make them like that anymore. So when a friend of ours texted that a couple she knew was selling their LG front loader washer and dryers with pedestals for super cheap. I had to jump on it! Apparently the couple is going through a messy divorce and had to liquidate all of their belongings fast, hence the cheap price. I feel bad, but what's the saying......one person's misfortune is another person's gain? And boy did we gain! It has completely changed my life. It cleans our clothes better, it’s faster, it's quieter and it sings to you when it’s finished, I think I'm in love. I wish all my appliances would play a snappy little tune.
They served their purpose well.
Ta-Da! My new favorite thing.
Like I said, we've been busy. Now it's time to focus on cleaning out the two guest bedrooms and getting one of them ready for Stella. Also, now whenever I leave the house Clint tells me to "take care of his girl". I'd say he's coming around. J
P.S. I just wanted to say I love my husband very much. He has been amazing through this whole pregnancy and dealing with my raging hormones. He's a wonderful husband and is going to be an even better father.....but you know I still have to bust his chops every once in awhile, keeps him honest. J
