I bought a car today. Yay me! It's an '02 Altima. Love love love it! It's in flawless condition. Leather seats, all the upgrades, sunroof, V6 3.5L. LOve it. And when I test drove it yesterday I found a function on the dashboard that averages the gas mileage. It's been getting 24.4 mpg....a lot better than the less-than-ten that my van gets. Best of all, it doesn't rain inside! And I got it for $1,000 under blue book. Soooooo excited. I went to the bank with Anna, the owner, today and gave her the cashiers check, she paid off her loan, and they handed me the title. Then she wrote me out a receipt. And now we're going to pick it up at 6:30 tonight. It's silver with grey leather seats and a fin on the back. Love it. Oh, and they have a file in the glove box with the records and receipts for every service and oil change they've ever had done on it. Score! Have I mentioned that I love it?
Naisa took Scotty to the carnival at the college while I was dealing with that stuff. Free food, free ice cream, free popcorn, free balloons, free face painting. They had a good time. There was a guy dressed in the penguin mascot suit too and he gave Scotty a toy. It's so cute watching Naisa and Scotty together too. He's like her own baby. It was adorable watching them walk off hand in hand.
This weekend is the True Blood season premiere. CAN'T WAIT. Also, one of the girls at the music store clued me in to the fact that Eric Northman (my favorite TB character) is in the Lady Gaga Paparazzi video. *squee* Naisa and I had to watch it. Bizarre video, and he's not as hot in it as he is in TB, but still good.
Now that I've got the car shopping done, I feel more prepared to deal with all the medical stuff next week. Scotty and i have been talking about the surgery and he's fine so far. Tuesday will be my final pep talk with my therapist before the surgery on wednesday, so I think I'll be ready to handle it.
