vroom vroom

well guess what? last night i traded in my old car in for a newer one! YEAH!!!!!!!! i can't even say how happy this had made me. i have needed a newer one that would seat at least 6 and it just worked out perfectly. my mom says i am spoiled, my brother says he jealous and my husband just wants to know when he can get a new one. ha ha! i ended up with a 2002 ford explorer xlt. it's black with gray leather interior. i think i deserve it! so after running errands this a.m. with the kids i come home to find both trucks parked on the stree with tickets on them. YUCK! today is street sweeping and my husband was fast asleep. at $30.50 each that makes for an expensive slumber. hopefully this isn't some afwul sign of things to come.
