A NEW CAR!!!!!
Imagine me actin' a foo, screaming like a banshee, and huggin' up on a sun-baked Bob Barker. Cuz that's pretty much what it was like the day they handed me the keys to OUR NEW CAR.
I talked the hubster man into "just looking" with me a few Saturdays back. We'd been talking about trading in my beloved Exploder for quite some time, but never ventured as far as stopping at any dealerships to see what was out there. Why? Because "just looking" sorta, kinda, totally turned into "just buying", and before you know it we were driving off in our semi-brand new set of wheels. It's a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, and by far the newest car that I have ever owned. Hyundai. Pronounced Hun-day according to my smarty pants husband. Not Hi-oon-die like I kept saying at the car dealership. And have kept saying since the day I drove away like I stole it. PS-I didn't!
We recently took our new, little Hi-oon-die out for a few glamour shots. You know, for her baby book. So she'll have something to look back at when remembering her younger years. I thought they turned out quite nicely. But I will let you decide. Buckle up and take a little spin with us, will ya?
First stop:
Of course we just had to visit Dick, to show him my new ride. He was super impressed, and even let Hi-oon-die pose for a picture in front of his big Dick Edwards sign. I thought that was super nice of him. Dick is a class act.
From Dick's it was off to...wherever this was. I am not really sure. But I thought the Hi-oon-die looked pretty snazzy parking her prettiness next to this spot too. Strike a pose. Vogue.
And finally we drove her straight through a giant game of checkers. We apologized, but insisted it was a must have photo, because once again, she completely looked hot sizzle here too. King me!
What can I say? Hi-oon-die doesn't take a bad picture.
Even her backside photographs well.
Another little side note about my little Hi-oon-die. She came fully equipped with all wheel drive (a Minnesota must have), a full bumper to bumper 100,000 mile warranty (smart choice for us), AND (wait for it) three months of free XM Radio!!! You know how I love me some free. This is no exception. My trips to and from work, and everywhere in between and beyond have become 200 percent more awesome. I am particularily fond of the all 90's station. It's funny how these songs can instantly take you back. And how I still remember almost every lyric of almost every song. Or every fake lyric. Yeah. I am pretty notorious for making up my own words to songs.
Case in point:
"Don't go chasing waterfalls. Please stick to the quivers and lakes that you're used to."
Quivers? Really? Yeah. I have no answer for that. Sorry.
Tonight Jesse and I were rockin' out some sweet 90s cuts. Well I was rockin'. Jesse was grabbing the "Oh Sh!t" handle and praying his last living memory wouldn't be of me belting out an Alanis Morrisette song. All was good. I was totally still paying attention to the road, and even dedicated this song to him, with me at lead vocals naturally.
Listen to it. If you are a child of the 90's this will totally take you back. Who doesn't remember singing this song and feeling completely like it spoke of your current love affair. Well for me it spoke of a fake love affair. But now it's totally a real one, and it reminds me totally of Jesse and I. And so I told him as much while I took a brief vocal break.
The love anthem ended, I shed a tear (seriously), and this song followed it. And then Jesse said, "This song reminds me of you."
This song is completely not PG, or even PG-13. It's totally rated R. And I don't know what was more shocking: that this song makes him think of me, or how well Jesse knew it. Like seriously, you're a white boy from the suburbs. Exactly who do you think you are anyway? Fo' sheezy mah neezy.
So there you have it. Clearly me and my
OUR NEW CAR!!!!!
How about you? Did you recently buy a new car too? Do you have XM Radio and sometimes hang out in your car like me just so you can listen to it? Just me? How about those Bob Barker snapshots? Totally brought me back to my daycare days. Thanks to my daycare mom, Judy, I don't think I missed an episode of the Price Is Right, or Young and the Restless from birth to kindergarten.

I did! I did just get a new car. It has no XM, but I have found a LOT of reasons to just drive around. Fall colors again kids? I think yes!
My fave reason to drive around? Izzy's ice cream.
You're welcome.
Enjoy your new car!
Okay so I say.... Don't go Jason waterfalls.......Um What?? Who knows, I also have no answer for that!!!
Also I am Proud to say that I was sitting right next to you as we watched EVERY SINGLE price is rights and Young and the restless...oh the memories!!
Can't wait to see your new cruiser!!!
Nice! Love the new ride! I have only experienced getting a new car twice now, but it sure feels super exciting! Speaking of 90's music, I have to tell you we did the Zombie Bar Crawl on Saturday and 2 Live Crew was performing at the Cabooze... I was indeed singing along (loudly) to Hoochie Mama and that Me So Horny song, and another song that I can't even type out the title to- Pop that.... SUPER rated R! (hmmm I won't be offended if you have to take this comment down) but it was really crazy weird :)
I miss Bob Barker!
I got to meet Hy-oon-die yesterday! She really is as glorious as Lauren says she is. And very polite.
How weird is it that I'm currently sitting in a hotel room in Minneapolis commenting on your blog? (Shh... I'm supposed to be working.)
@Ash: I am so glad you share so many of the same mems with me. Childhood besties are the bestie.
@Carla: So can't believe you did the zpc. I had tons of friends who were doing it. My one friend was zombie Snookie. And she was super pumped for 2lc. I think I would have liked to see them as well. I was downtown on Sat night too, but not as a zombie. Might have to try it sometime. Maybe. I think zombies scare me a
little. ;)
@Amanda: get to work! No. I take that back. Go go Key's and get a danish. And yes, hi-oon-die was super polite yesterday, wasn't she? We had a good talk before picking you up. She wishes she could have gotten her pic taken with the spoon and cherry, though. And I realized after I dropped you off that we didn't car dance to any 90s music. Must have been all the talking we did.
LOL! Congrats! :) I like Santa Fes.
