I think she's a beauty! She's an LX edition, so luxury, and comes with power windows and locks, AC and a CD with a quirk (I can't get the damn CD out now). I need a cover to put over the spare tire in the back, but i think she's quite roomy. I still need a name for her though. She has 3 cup holders and a couple of place to hold treasures, as well as 3 cup holders. She's got high mileage, but it's all highway and everything under the hood is recent. The picture with the key is a rock that was behind the brake drum. And guess what, when they took the tire off (front right one) they found a tiny frog that had crawled up there and got stuck between the drum and the brakes. It didn't make it obviously, but I will be getting something frog oriented to put in the car as a little "in honor of" my little passenger. I was horrified when the car guy showed me! She drives real smooth too. (Ironic?)
I paid for her all on my own, including the money that my rents owed me. Flat $3900, taxes and dealer handling included. She will need an alignment and new tires before the first snow, but I have a little time for that. I couldn't believe we found her and that I actually got her! I was astonished. But she's mine, something I worked my ass off for and dedicated my tips to savings for. D seems to lover her, as does his and my family. My coworkers love her too. D says it's me they love, but how can you not help but love my beauty?
In other news, I earned another scholarship, it's a different process this time but my first year is completely covered and then some. I'm excited, it means a lot to me, not having to stress over shit that I shouldn't need to.
I also did a 45 minute (roughly - can't do salsa I figured out) Zumba dance fitness. I feel good, ready to get in shape. Be better for me. For D. He was so excited when I brought the car over, I hadn't told him ahead of time. We walked in his house and I was staring out the kitchen window at it and he leaned down, wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered in my ear "We're that much closer." And it hit me that we are. I didn't even think of that when I bought the car, I just tasted freedom and actually being able to do something on my own - no co-signer! D also informed me that we've been together for almost half a decade. Wow. I just stood still at that, trying to wrap my head around it. I've never been with someone so long, never wanted to be with someone so long. It's still really breath taking, still very surreal.
He seems turned off lately. I don't know if it's from work or if it's from whatever else he has going on. He hasn't really opened up about it. But it feels like once I got my car, he just didn't feel like he wanted to come over, be around me. The funny thing is he continues to say how much he misses me. And if I could drive my car (can't until Monday because brake pads are almost metal on metal and finance manager at the dealer I got her from said he'd have his guys do it no charge because they should have caught it) I would be over there in a heartbeat. But I don't feel welcome. I haven't been there in such a long time.. it's weird. I don't know what to do to try and fix it.
