Rigdonia, The Blog

What a day! Got absolutely nothing done. Well, not true. I did load up a new set - The Story of Us. I totally got lost in that pink last night and had to force myself to go to bed! Anyway, it's up if anyone is interested. I gave up on the psp for now. I am so behind this week - haven't even done laundry . . . well, just towels and undies. TMI? Oh well.

The reason I got nothing else done today is because we got a new car! Kewl. Long story short-ish: We got a Mitsubishi Montero Sport a few years back on the 1 year no payments special they had. This vehicle was great for us . . . . until we got pregnant again! We quickly realized that there was no way for my big 9 yob to fit in the back with two car seats. (They just changed the laws in CA on 1/1/2 to the 6 years or 60 pounds, and Kaitlin is almost 5 years and only 45 pounds, so we will continue to require two car seats for another year and a half.) Also, we take my FIL places with us often, and felt that tying him to the roof rack might have been "over the top"?! Great pun . . sorry! Anyway . . . we figured there was no way to get out from under the montero, having it for 2 years, but only paying down one so far. It turns out Ford is really looking to move 2002 inventory and we got a great deal! So we came home with a new 2002 Expedition! It has three rows of seats, so we can get all of us and potentially three more in our car at a time! More kewlishness! I'll miss the Montero as far as handling, etc, but I can put the kids way in the back and crank up the tunes and never hear them argue! Triple Kewl!!! And it has dual a/c controls and tape cassette 6 cd changer and power drivers seat controls and get this: the pedals are power adjusting! Push a button and they come up to meet my short little legs. Radi-kewl!!!! Well it drives more like a boat - that'll take some getting used to and it goes fast. Big red flag for the CHP. Oh well. Let's go somewhere! Vroom!
