Joey and I signed our loan documents today in between getting Christmas orders out, running a business, organising tradeshows and managing being a one car family for the short term. Back in April we were offered an incredible deal on a new Prius which was my dream car. I am incredibly environmentally aware and was so envious of every Prius driver on the road - and there are lot of them in LA! So when the chance to get one came up, we jumped at it.
This meant that we were a three car and one bike family of two people which was just ridiculous. So we sold Joey's car and he drove my lease with the idea being that come July when the lease went back that we would get Joey another car. Well December's here, the bike broke down and suddenly we are a one vehicle family with a very busy schedule in our busiest season ever. And we just bought a house so the thought of spending more money right now seems a little overwhelming. And to top it off, the new (very old) house needs a lot of immediate attention and $$$ so the second car continues to wait.
But I am not complaining! We are so excited about our new house and I am actually looking forward to sanding floors! Martha - eat your heart out - this is not just decorating but real on your knee's and getting dirty hard work. Our Queen Anne Victorian is a lovely old lady in need of a serious face lift - and not the cosmetic kind, but the veins and bones that keep her standing. We have a new hot water heater going in on Saturday (she is ours from Friday) and we pull out our belt sanders Saturday morning - after a private buyer comes to shop - and get on our hands and knee's and start slowly peeling off those layers of varnish. Home Sweet Home - here we come!
