ONE MORE THING

I brought a car ~ a brand new Honda CR-V. I can't believe it. My current car is 7.5 years old and is starting to have stuff go wrong. I had to fix something in May that was $850. About 10 days ago, it started acting funny and it would have been another $925 - except I said - you know, make it work. I'm trading it in.
My son thought I'd like the CR-V and I did. It drives nice - smaller than what I'm driving now - but not to small. And I've never brought a car by myself. My dad helped me pick out my first car - a white VW bug. I loved that car but my Dad, made the offer and did the paper work. Every other car since then - my ex picked out. I hardly had a say in the color. But this one - I picked out the color, went to the dealer by myself. My girlfriend Charlene's husband helped me - he use to sell Honda's - so he guided me - but I went by myself. I'm so excited. Honestly, I think the hardest part was picking out a color. I love the blue one but thought I'd go a little out of my comfort zone and pick the green tea one. But then I saw it in the rain and it looked like puke. Then they have this one called 'urban titanium' and it kinda looks like milk chocolate brown. Really pretty - but I was afraid it would look dirty all the time - plus I think it looks like a 'boy' color.
Picking it up tonite - I try and post a picture.
