Joey and I took the last three days of this week off from work. We were originally going to be in NH until Monday night, but then my mom had the opportunity to rent out the lake house this week, so she did. So now we aren't going until Saturday.

Instead of being in NH, we went and bought a new car. It's a 2008 Honda CR-V. Originally I had only thought I would buy a hybrid from this point on, but apparently sometimes I lie to myself. And then to buy an SUV on top of it? Well, apparently I just have no true beliefs. We have to go by tomorrow morning and finalize it all and then hopefully we'll be able to have it for the weekend.

I have to say I'm stoked to get a new car. Usually I trade in my cars every two years or so because I like to keep things fresh. I've had the Volvo for like three and a half years. It's definitely time to move on. She's been good, but she's gotten pretty beat up in the city, and well, who wants to drive an old car? (And yes, it seems I do. Because we still have the 1993 Volvo wagon, Lorelai)

The list is as follows:

1998-2000 ------ 1983 Dodge Aries
2000-2003 -------1998 VW Jetta
2003-2005 ------- 2003 Mini Cooper
2005-2008 ------- 2001 Volvo S40
2007-present ------- 1993 Volvo 240 Wagon
2008-present ------- 2008 Honda CR-V

So I've had my license a little over ten years, and have had six cars. I'm kinda greedy, huh?

Anyway. Next week I start school. Let the fun of having zero free time begin.
