When I get the mail I usually throw away any garbage sales, or promotional stuff that comes when it involves a car. Last week I opened up the mail and found a letter from KIA stating they wanted to purchase my 2007 KIA Sorento LX from me. I showed it to hubby. I only figured the promotion that was in the letter was possibly a good one. He looked it over, and within a few minutes advised me to get my shoes on and ready to go. He said we were going to the KIA dealership to see just how true the deal was. We owed a total of @$6000 dollars over the next 2 years on the car. The warranty had also since run out.
We got to the dealership and being that they were a newer dealership didn’t have a drastic amount of the car we were looking for. We went there looking for a Sportage. This was figured in prior to going because the Sorento cost a lot more than we wanted to spend. They showed us a Demo vehicle, and advised that they would drop the price as far down to where the NEW LX model was priced. We told them we wanted to have 5 years payments. I drove the car around the lot, but not much more.
Because I wanted to think about it we advised them that we needed the night. We went the next day and got the car, and signed the paperwork. Later that night I gave hubby a panic attack because I told him that I didn’t know if I wanted the car because I thought that I couldn’t see what I thought I should be seeing. He said that he would return the car under remorse. I told him that I didn’t want him to return it, and I would get used to it.
He told me the next morning to drive him to one of the jobs he needed to do so that I could try the car out once again before making any decisions. After driving the car I found that it was mostly in my head. The car is beautiful. It has a Sirius/XM satellite system built in, Bluetooth connectivity, IPod connectivity, a rather large cd storage area, and a lot of other things. I don’t like the keys because it is one of those key fob folding keys.
I love what my hubby does for me. I love my hubby. He is the best. I owe him… BIG!

When we bought our new camper we didn’t realize just how much of an expense owning a camper is. We found out that we needed to do some small repairs to the camper, and also needed to put a full towing package on the truck that will pull the camper. We searched high and low to find low prices on the equipment so that we wouldn’t have to spend a fortune.
I happened to be looking through the newspapers, and flyers that we get and found a 48 hour sale at a local store. We ended up getting the weight distribution system for half of what it normally goes for. The electrical hookup couldn’t be gotten through the same source so that was a little costly. The last thing we needed to get was the hitch. Being hubby is very skilled he found one on EBay and installed it himself.
We didn’t expect all of these costs, but in the end it will be worth it.
I was doing so well at losing weight when I was in a dieting challenge. Maybe it was the money. Maybe it wasn’t. I know that I felt better about myself, and my family was happy for me. I recently joined a gym so that I could try once again to lose some weight. For the last month and a half I have been working with hubby, or doing other things that I haven’t gotten to the gym. Hubby yelled at me because we are throwing money away. I understand this, but work comes first. I know that sometimes I make excuses, but my biggest problem is that I don’t like to waste gas. When I was babysitting in Wall Twp. I didn’t want to travel back to the gym because that is gas wasted, which in turn is money wasted. With this problem at hand I have been searching for a decent diet pill that I can try. One of the sites I have been stuck at is http://www.recommendeddietpills.com/apidextra/. I don’t know if diet pills are for me, but they may help when I need a little extra.
Have you ever procrastinated, or just avoided something to a point that you are annoyed with how you have handled it?
