Ok Ok Ok,
I know it's been a while (thanks Arg.) Sometimes when you don't have anything to say, you shouldn't say anything at all.
Truth is, I had plenty to say, just only in ways to myself. I was at a standstill in my life for a while. Searched, self discovery, while realizing I wasn't completely happy in the situation I was in and still in. Money worries me. My job isn't satisfying. I will need another one to pay off and save money. My car started going downhill. I panicked.
But...
I just bought a new car. I feel actually relieved for now (until the bill payments start rolling thru.) I was able to get a deal I've been searching for. I consider it a sign that the events were meant to be. The man who sold me the car was the brother of a manager I work with. He's an honest guy, really, and he wasn't playing one on TV. I went to other dealerships and noticed the behaviors of other people. I didn't like it. I also didn't like how many places wouldn't post prices on cars or would upcharge the price on the sticker. I knew how much the starting price on some cars were. My vagina doesn't prevent me from smart shopping.
When I found out about this guy, I went to the dealership site and looked at the used inventory. There was the Echo, for $7K. This was the car before the Yaris, my dream car. It was very nicely priced for under 44K miles. I called my step father and told him I wanted to test drive.
I didn't have much besides my old car, which was still my step dad's car for down payment. I needed my monthly payments under $200 so I didn't have to give up eating. They appraised my piece-of-crap for $500. Sweet. That was enough for a down payment. Enough to get my monthly payments to under $200. Deal.
The car was green. Emerald. My birthstone. Jorge, my other car, was dark forest green. My new license plate starts off with X82, 82 being my birth year and X probably because I'm awesome. Who knows?
This was easy for me and less of a worry driving behind a car that was for sure a worry. Knock on wood and hopefully the car will make me proud. It's a Toyota. Damn American cars.
I think I will name him Rutherford.
I won't have money to save for NOLA. I won't have money for a lot right now. I will need a second job until I get something better. I just need to pay my bills and have enough left over to save. Maybe once in a while I can spend something for me. Get a new outfit and not worry. Save for holiday presents and not add debt to credit. Hopefully the one place will call me back, but they're not being very punctual or sticking to their word.
I'll keep searching for better. Something I feel I'm worth.

It made me want to take it for a test drive:
I may need to brush up at a school first:
NOLA isn't going anywhere for at least 50 years.
Then it's going to be called New Venice or maybe Water World.
The city council is working on it.
, baby!
