I hate shopping. I'm just not one of those people that love to browse. I prefer to go into a store with a list of things that I want, get them, and get out as quickly as I can. There are of course times when this is not feasible, like today. Today I was car shopping. I'm so tired of looking on the Internet for that perfect car. Have you ever noticed that when you come up with a price that you're willing to spend on something, there's always that one thing that you want, but it costs a little more than the amount you were willing to spend when you came up with the number?
We must have drove 70 miles. The inventory of cars at the car dealers around here is sparse, so we decided to take a ride after looking on the Internet. We were lucky enough to find a few dealers with some decent inventory, but by the time we got to the last place, it was going on 4:00 and they close at 5:00, so a test ride was not looking so good. Saturday is the only day we have that we can look and of course the dealers close early. They aren't open on Sundays so the search is going to be very slow.
I did find one car that I loved, but the husband isn't sure he's going to be happy with it. That's the other problem when looking for a car. I have to think of my priorities, one of them is my husband is 6'3" tall and he should probably be able to fit in the car. Not that many cars are capable of fitting him.
I don't want to shop anymore. It's like looking for wallpaper, if I can't find what I like in 3 books then I paint. Otherwise I get sick to my stomach because of all the designs. I know it's not that easy for cars, but for now, I'm glad I don't have to look again for another week.
Until next time: I'm so shallow sometimes that it scares me. May your day be full of contentment and may your shallowness, (is that a word?), be a little more compassionate and grateful than mine.

I have a Volkswagen Jetta and I love it! I also hate car shopping. I guess that's why I had 3 Jeeps and when this Jetta is done next year, I'll probably get another one . . . or at least another Volkswagen. I can't believe your dealers aren't oopen on Sunday! I know it's the day of rest, but most people only have the weekends to get things like that done. Good luck!
Sandy;
I am so like you, I like to go in to a store and pick up what I want and then leave.
I come from a big family of shoppers and I'm the black sheep!
I love that we picked the same wallpaper. Have always loved the look of your blog besides I bet you were channeling me when you picked it first.
So glad to have you back blogging.
Not a shopping gal here, either. Also don't wallpaper or paint. Does this make me deep? Hah. You're not shallow, Sandy, whatever else you may be.
P.S. Will you paint my living room? ;o)
Joyce, okay so now the VW Jetta is on my list. What's a girl to do! OMG they have a convertible don't they?
Black sheep Peggy, we have so much more in common than I thought. Speaking one black sheep to another I mean.
