Just Call Us the Economy Stimulators

As I mentioned on Facebook a few days back, I don't think anyone can accuse us of not doing our part to spend more money and help our economy along.

Just this week, we bought ourselves a new vehicle. It's an '05 Suburban (one of my dream cars, along with a Mitsubishi Eclipse, a classic Ford Mustang, and a Nassau Blue Corvette). But the most important thing to remember about this new truck is that it has AC. The Nastymobile did not; it was on its 2nd summer AC-less. I was eager to get rid of it, as we were taking it shopping in last week's 100+ degree temps. Even the salesman told me he couldn't send me home in that thing in good conscience (which was another way of getting me to drive his vehicle, but you know what? I was okay with that!). Anyhow, we're really excited about our 9-passenger ride. ROTFL
Here's a picture of our old car (which is actually newer than our "new" car). I love my Corolla. It makes me very happy, especially since we didn't have to trade it in after all, which we thought we might have to do to get a decent car. This is a nice alternative for me and Sariah when we're running errands during the day when all the other kids are gone. It eats way less gas, but I think that's pretty self-evident. :)
And last, but certainly not least: my new house. It's got 2300 sq feet, an extra large garage, and a totally cool master suite. The subdivision is relatively new, so there are lost of empty lots that my kids run around in (and collect impossible-to-remove Oklahoma red dirt in their duds). It looks crooked in this picture, but that's because we live on a hill. Someday I'll post pics of the inside. In the mean time, you should consider yourself lucky to see this much of it, and thank my friend Misty for nagging me.
