I’ve bought a lot of things in my life. A condo, two homes, probably eight cars. The difference between now and then, is that I’d never bought a single thing myself. Everything I bought, I bought with Logan.
Last night? I changed that. Last night I bought my first car myself. Not my first car, but the first ever car that I’ve purchased alone. As a single person. Alone.
It may not seem like a huge deal to any of you. But to me? It’s HUGE. It is insanely huge. I’ve never really done anything alone. Now? I have. Now, I have a car that is just in my name.
I wasn’t able to buy the exact one I wanted. I wasn’t able to buy a brand new one. I had to get a slightly used one. Who cares though? I mean really? I bought it myself. I’m kind of proud.
Anyway….wanna see my pretty new (ish) car?
I did it. It was hard and slightly painful, but I did it. I am now a proud owner of a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. Now I just need to figure out how to get my iPod thingy to work and name her and I’ll be all set.
Any name thoughts? I am pretty sure she’s a girl. I know it’s hard to tell, but she’s a light green color.

@Headless Mom, Maybe. I kinda like that. Am too tired to think of one yet. But am making a list.
That’s so awesome it makes my head spin. I’m impressed in three different colors. No. In three different languages. NO. I’M IMPRESSED IN ALIEN-LIFE-FORM. I could never – okay. You know what? Never say bla bla bla but I haven’t done it yet and you have, and you for that are the ruling ruler.
Congratulations, kick-ass lady.
CONGRATS!!
Beautiful! Congratulations!

Drew would tell you to name her Mary. It’s his name-of-the-moment. Nicky suggests Peaches.
I am so very proud of you. ((hugs))
Um, HELLO…her name is Independence! You can call her Indy for short.
Because, HELLO?
Well done! xoxxo

@Heather, Oh my vote totally goes to Indy too. Plus, you can make Indy 500 jokes when you speed. Seriously, it has cool meaning and great comic potential.
And like I said, congratulations. Its a big FREAKIN deal. And stuff. You know how it is.

I don’t know why, but with the green color and all, I’m thinking Frog. Name her Frog.
Congrats!
