almost there
well, for those of you wondering if i've stablized yet... returned to normal functioning condition and what not...
meh. its a toss-up. really kinda depends on what hour of the day we're talkin' here.
BUT. i'm almost there.
today.. this afternoon.. in a few hours.. i'm heading to the bank. i'm going to get (i hope) pre-approved for a loan type situation and will then, tomorrow, in our grotesquely winter-like weather... go test drive my vehicle of choice.
have i ever bought a car?! --- no.
do i know the first thing about buying a car?! --- no.
am i taking anyone along with me who DOES know the first thing about buying a car?! -- no.
do i foresee any way in which this might go wrong?! --- yes.
am i doing it anyway?! --- darn tootin.
as if i would *ever* consider otherwise.
should be good times. good times, in this case, meaning --- a time in which i will probably more than likely have a very large cow, hyperventilate and/or burst out into nervous laughter.
i can't wait to meet the sales guy!!
in other news, last night 0% bodyfat girl and guy, banker girl and i went up to The Fit Pit to make-up wednesday's workout.
it? was a doozy.
400m row
300 jump rope (as in count your jumps. do you have any idea how difficult that is?)
20 box jump
4 rounds.
what that basically means is i rowed a mile, jumped 1200 times and... AND... i box jumped onto a 24" box EIGHTY TIMES.
why? because i RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (oh yeah thats right. i said it. I AM THE RULER OF ALL THINGS BOXY!)
afterwards we determined not only am i the ruler of all things boxy, but also? i am the champion of no longer needing the assistance of a strap for the ever longed for PULL UP!
thats right baby. I'VE GONE STRAPLESS! and i wear it oh so well.
this weekend, due to weather, the duathlon ain't so much happenin. instead i plan on buying a car. buying new shoes. going swimming. going running (indoors, of course) and hopefully going OUT.
i have a feeling saturday's buying frenzy might need to be followed up by liquor. and copius amounts of flirting with random boys at a yet to be decided bar.
i'm looking forward to it. not gunna lie.
anyway, thats about all i have for the week. sorry for the lack of posts lately, hopefully next week will bring warmer weather, new cars and some qualtiy blogging fodder!

Oh girl, good luck with that. Just stick to your guns, never pay sticker and always walk away when they don't meet your demands. Trust me, they will call you back.

Yay for strapless pullups! (How come that sounds like a new baby diaper product?)
My roommate just traded in her car for no good reason on a whim. I don't know how she does it!

Do yourself a favor and go car shopping on the internet first (see this site for how-tos http://www.carbuyingtips.com/ ). You will get a MUCH better deal. You put in your request, let the local dealers respond and then go in and buy the car. When you go in do not let them sneak extra charges on you. Tell them, "if you can put me in that car for $X all in I'll sign." Be tough.
Have fun!

I can't wait for the post-shopping post! I think you'll be adding "Queen of all things shopping" to the list of "Queen of all things boxy"! Rock on!
