Me? Emotional? NEVER!
Well, that's what I used to think.
Although this past week has proved me wrong.
I'm not saying that I cry and blubber at Hallmark commercials.
(I save that for when I'm prego)
Recently I've had an epiphany that...
I, Rachel Roberts, am an emotional purchaser.
When we were looking for a bigger home a year
or so ago, I couldn't get it out of my head.
I searched and searched, learned and learned.
Narrowed things down and eventually
after months & months we ended up getting
the best possible home for the best possible price.
It was exhausting!!
The ups and downs, the rollercoaster of getting past
all of the pitfalls that came along the way. One day I'm
as excited as can be and the next was all doom & gloom.
It's like living with a constant knot in my stomach.
It even intrudes on my dreams!
The worst part is that I can't get ANYTHING done
until this "purchase" is final. (hello, laundry piles)
My mom likes to call it..."The money is burning a whole in your pocket!"
And yet here we are AGAIN.
Time for another BIG "purchase".
The car! (dun, dun, dun)
And I say BIG as in the car size we need.
BIG as in the years of waiting.
So everyday, I search and search the Internet.
Longing to find some kind, old man,
(because that's all I trust)
that has loved his Van to pieces over the last 8 years or so,
put no miles on it and wants to sell it
to a sweet, little gal like me.
Did I say search the Internet?
No I mean prowl, hunt, slightly obsessive compulsively watch the Internet.
Maybe my local community has some GROUP meetings I can attend?
Wait, I gotta go...I think there are 10 new ad's on Craigslist!

Jon & I take forever to make these kind of decisions and then purchases. I learned it from him. Now I do the research, narrow it down, and then jump with him at my side. This week I just did a whole bunch of care maintenance, without talking to him too much. Hope he is OK when he gets home and sees what his little wifey has done!
If not, too late!
No luck yet? So are you currently carless? Call me if you want to hang out and we can try out all 8 of my seats at once!
