Today was a pretty busy day. I wasn't exactly doing a bunch of things per say, but I was a parent for the day trying to buy a new car at the same time. And you know what, I liked it. I currently have a 2000 Honda Civic and it's getting up there in kilometers now. Instead of injecting more money to maintain it, I figured it was wise to get a new car. So that was my task at hand today. When I left the house in the morning, I told myself I was gonna make something happen before coming back home.
So the parenting part I mentioned was picking up my two little nephews, E and C, from school today. They were so excited having their cool uncle pick them up. It really makes a kid's day when someone different shows up to get them, or it seems so anyways. This is the second time I've picked up E, and I got the same reaction from him the second time as the first. I got a big hug and huge smile from E right away when he saw me, and C was doing cirlces around me the whole time. So this is where it gets fun. Last time I took them to McDonald's for ice cream, but unfortunately I was kind of tight on time today so I owe them one. Step one, picking them up, was completed. Now for step two, strapping them to the car seats in the back of my two door Honda Civic and jaunt back to the dealership. I don't think they have ever been in a two door car because their comments we're hilarious. C said, "this is so small" and "it's the worsest car I've been in". I burst out laughing, because well it's so true. I'm really happy I'm getting out of a two door and something more 'adult-like'. At least I won't have to bear the insults from E and C anymore!
So I get back to the dealership and my brother-in-law, T, showed up with my other little nephew B. B was running around all over the place. When I was in the office with the Finance Manager, every now and then I would see B pop in with a big smile and a B-sound. So I get the car I wanted and surprisingly got a dealership to take my car as a trade in for a really sweet price. I pretty much had to pull the trigger on this deal, it was a win situation for me all the way.
Now I'm off to bed, because tomorrow's another fun-filled day!
