a car owner

for the first time since June, i am the proud owner of a fine used motor vehicle. in fact i am the owner of a truck.

I BOUGHT A TRUCK!!

i bought a goddamn truck. a truck! i am not a truck girl and that’s why i love it. i own a truck. i just have to keep saying that to myself over and over and over and over until i finally believe it. a truck.

“yeah, that’s my truck.”
“we can take my truck.”
“is my truck in the way?”

sounds kinda goofy.

i drove some other stuff and hated it. the jeep cherokee my stinkyben, my brother-in-law, wanted me to get made me feel like a sardine. there is no headroom or legroom in those bad boys.

i just can’t believe i am so damn comfortable in a truck. it’s got lots of headroom and legroom, which at 6’5″ i kinda need, right?

so i have a truck and for the first time in my entire life, a car payment. that’s gonna take some getting used to. already i feel poor as a church mouse. i am not so sure how i am gonna dig living on a budget.

but i have a truck, that shall me named shortly and tomorrow maybe if i buy some batteries for the digicam i will show you some pictures.

a truck.

    Just a little heads up warning – because you now have a truck – people will regularly think you want to/are available to help them move. Get an unlisted number if possible.

    Ahem! Jodi, I bought this refrigerator & I was hoping I could, uh, borrow your truck to pick it up. Actually, can you help me get it into my house? There aren’t THAT many steps! They wanted to charge FORTY bucks! Can you believe it? Thank goodness we have a truck. Jodi? Jodi?

    (And don’t think for a minute that this conversation won’t happen.)

    for some reason i was strangely hoping you would get a truck. i had a truck, i *loved* my truck. (even though i did get the moving questions all the time)

    i can’t wait to see pictures!

    We just got eleven to twelve inches of powder and the school buses are running an hour and a half late. Put some bags of sand in the bag of your truck to give you extra weight in snowy weather!!! (so you’ll stay safe and sound)

    You realize of course, that you HAVE to name the truck “Bubba”.
