I am so sad.
You'd think I'd be happy because I set out to do something and my task has been accomplished, but I am so sad....
...and feeling a little guilty.
I sold our car.
Like, just now....just half an hour ago.
Someone came to pick her up and she is gone. Our dear red 1990 Ford Escort LX. Her name is Janey. She has been a part of our lives for 10 years and 2 months. And we ditched her for a small wad of cash. And I mean small. BooHoo!!!!!!
We always thought we were going to drive her into the ground. I feel like I betrayed her. I totally sold out, for $400.
I even shed a few tears momentarily.
But we have a new addition in our family that will help us get over our loss. We purchased a 2000 Grand Caravan. We have joined the ranks of our fellow mini-van-owning friends, and now I feel like a real parent, doing parenty things like driving a mini-van.
But give me time, big Grand Caravan, to be excited about you, because I am grieving the loss of faithful Janey. Poor ol' faithful Janey.

BooHoo poor old Janey. But....just think....she will be put to good and helpful use with her NEW family. And you will enjoy your Grand Caravan I am sure. You'll get over all the guilt and sad feelings soon. Ma!
