Well yesterday I was in a bit of a rush, because my parents called me and said be ready in an hour, and I hadn’t even got out of bed. I didn’t want to leave without wrapping up the week, so I rushed in here, blogged in record time, and ran to get ready. It was only after I got back that I realised, I left out a link I was meaning to put in. So, I’ll post it next week.
Of course when I got to my parents, after rushing, they were still in their PJ’s watching tv. I sat there for an hour and a half waiting for them to get ready! GRRR!
Yesterday we went for a drive in Dad’s car, which I have to say was quite the experience. First, the ride is incredibly comfortable. It’s like driving around in a really comfortable lounge chair. You barely feel any bumps.
Dad chose to be the car sentry while we went shopping. I can see this is going to be an issue! He’s crazy about his car and not once did he leave it for more than a minute.
It turns heads, this car. Everywhere we went, people were looking at it. We pulled up next to this maybe 14 year old kid at the traffic lights and you could see his face light up and the excitement at having spotted this car – of which there were only 200 ever made. But on the other hand, the fear that someone might damage it is really annoying. I sense the Ute will be going a lot of places and the car will be brought out for only special occasions. It’s a shame.
I now have the fear I’m going to feel the same way about our new car. I have to work on this.. I don’t want to feel like we can’t take it anywhere or park it anywhere or leave it alone while we go and do things..
Hi Snoskred,
Thanks for featuring my post on your blog.
And how is it going with it? Started organizing your desktop yet?
Congrats on your new blog bling!
You might be a little nervous about the car at first, but once it gets its first ding or scratch, you’ll relax a little, I’m sure.
Marques – not yet. I’m going to do it this weekend in conjunction with several other new strategies, including email address upheavals. ;) I am sure it will work though. Like you said, discipline. I’m a lot better at it nowadays.
Mary-LUE – We saw the new car tonight in the caryard, we get it on Friday. I’m hoping I’ll be able to relax about it but I’m not sure yet.. ;) It’s an incredible car..
Thanks for the comments!
