Saturday

Walter & I went to the Ford dealership today to test drive a car similar to the ones I want to consider, just different colors, and ended up buying a used '08 Torch Red (instead of Candy Apple Red) convertible that was on the lot! We were not intending to buy anything today, but this car was just what I wanted, plus $5,000 cheaper, still has 2 years left on it's original warranty, and had 12,000 miles on it. It is SO cute!! They had "wild thing" colored on the windshield and I saw it right when we drove up and I told Walter, "that car is calling me!!" They gave us exactly what we owed on the Honda and that sealed the deal! My note is LESS than the one for the Honda and i'd been trying hard just to get the note CLOSE to what the Honda was, plus I am pretty sure my insurance will go down (that seems backwards since the Mustang is a sports car - but it's true - the Honda is a theft risk). So anyway, meet my new baby!!!!


The dealership is going to detail the car whenever I feel like bringing it back, because they didn't get to it today. It really looks fine, but i'll bring it one day and they can do what they want to. Yay!!

I'm getting ready to go to dinner in Baton Rouge with 5 or 6 of my friends from high school that I haven't seen in probably 20 - 25 YEARS!! One of my friends, Holli, lives about 10 miles from me and we're going to ride together. I think the last time I saw her was when I was 16! I am 42!! I'm really excited!! We shouldn't be too late, so maybe i'll post some pictures when I get home.

I got a gift certificate to Land's End from my sister, Donna, for my birthday (which is Wednesday), so i'm excited about that too! I love to buy things!!! My mom is taking us to lunch next Sunday and I think she's getting me a cool crock pot that I told her I want!

Well, i'm off to see my friends! Have a great weekend!
