Good morning, Y’all!

It’s been a busy few days.  But I’ve taken time to do some research and I think maybe I’ve found a way to turn this weight loss stalemate around.  I’m not going to go into it right now, and I won’t be able to fully implement it until we get back from
Virginia Beach next weekend, but let’s just say I’m very optimistic.  Now I said I wouldn’t be able to fully implement it, but I will be working it in gradually, and when possible, while we’re gone.

Like I said, we’ve been very busy since we got home.  I’m working on unpacking things a little at a time, and I am making progress.  I’ve had a pretty good week and I sure don’t want to strain myself and end up in pain.

We spent Thursday resting and Friday out running around taking care of business.   Micheal also took me shopping Friday.  He bought me a simple black dress, a really nice (sexy) blouse and a new coat. 

While we were out Friday, we happened to drive past a car dealership and saw a car we both liked, and Micheal decided he wanted to stop and look at it.  Me being the practical one, I reminded him that he had been talking about getting a Subaru Forrester because it was all-wheel-drive, and it had plenty of room to carry his computer stuff, clothes and everything else he’d need when he traveled from one client-site to another.  He assured me that he was just looking at it and wasn’t going to buy it.

Well, we looked at the car and then talked to the salesman.  Micheal said since the salesman wanted to run the credit application, he wanted to go ahead and see if we would qualify for a loan to cover it, since it was a little more expensive than the Forrester, then he’d know we could get the Forrester.  I already had no doubt that we could get the loan.

Now I knew in the back of my mind that we’d end up buying that car.  It was Saturday before the salesman let us know what the results were of the loan were.  Micheal told him that we couldn’t get it unless the payments were within a certain range, and they were.  When we got there, we were told that the payment they’d quoted him was on a lease.  I told them that was a deal-breaker cuz we wanted to purchase, not lease.  They dropped the price of the car and we still said no.  Then they dropped the price again.  They still couldn’t get the payments down to the range we’d specified.

We were getting up to leave when the phone rang.  It was another bank calling with a loan offer that fit into our price range.  Well, we ended up leaving with that car. 

Oh, I didn’t say what kind of car it was, did I?   Well, you’ll have to look at the photos in my profile to find out.  And yes, we’re driving it to Charleston and
Virginia Beach this week.  We’ll be very limited on what we can take with us because there’s just not room to carry much, but we’ll manage.

Well, off to read some blogs then do some more unpacking.

Y’all have a great day!!
