full moon madness...

I am definitely not known for impulsive moves... I am not sure what has gotten into me. Yesterday I got inked and today I bought a new (to me) car. Great googley moogley!! It must be full-moon fever, the moon, as you can see is 99% full.

My sweet car was a '96 Ford Taurus with 124,600k miles and with a heavy duty winter predicted, I was getting nervous. Knowing I fret and worry and obsess, I was not so sure my car could make it through the winter.

I looked online at a local car dealership and saw a great deal on a shipment of the 2007 Ford Taurus and decided to look closer... Suffice it to say, I shopped online for my car. After about two hours on the phone with a variety of sales managers, we finally came up with a great plan... and they agreed to accept my sweet car as a trade in. They delivered the car to my home, I filled out the paperwork in about fifteen minutes, and voila... I have a new car!!!

Holy moly... I'll get some photos tomorrow, because I had some errands to do I wasn't able to take photos right then and there. That was the only drawback, because I was tied to the phone all day I couldn't do what I had to do... but... oh my gosh... what have I done?? What has gotten into me??

How can I top this fun???

Aw, shit! We're scheduled for a heavy-duty winter?! Dammit!

I was hoping we'd have another dud like last year - cold, but not stupid cold, and without a whole lot of precipitation. Not so much, according to what you've heard? Crap.

Grrr. I guess I'd better buy new tires....
