Teppy, buying expensive things makes me wrap myself in quilts and watch tv for a few hours just to stop hyperventilating, too. But it's amazing! You gonna buy a car with cash! You ought'a wear a tiara when you write the check.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

(You can tell I've never bought a house before. That might make me spontaneously combust.) (And every other car I've bought, I've financed it, so I didn't have to write a giant check of my own money.)
What's weird about buying a house is some people spend less time in a house than I do trying on shoes. I think I was in my now house for less than an hour total over two visits before I made an offer.
I also just reupped my mortgage over the phone in a five minute phone call. Maybe I should have thought about it more. (Should I have gone for the variable rate?)

Wanting an Ativan while buying a car is not remotely ridiculous.
Bummer, meara.

Totally.
I think rates are low right now and you're better off locking down the fixed rate, Sue? Not sure. I don't like variable rate on principal (principal may be the wrong word, but I don't like it).

The first of the officers from the Freddy Gray death is on trial, and jury is deliberating.

They keep warning that rates are going to climb, but they keep falling. I am still .20 less than my last interest rate, but variable was .70 less. It doesn't matter, I still have a pretty great interest rate.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Just remember Teppy, you don't have to buy it tonight. Or tomorrow. I mean, if you do buy it good for you but you don't have to!
True. And in fact, we're taking it to our mechanic so they can look it over, so we won't be buying it tonight at all. But assuming everything is fine with it, we'll likely have a new-to-us car by the weekend.
Loki is not calming me down.
I have, however, done a LOT of laundry and cleaned the kitchen. I'm about to work out to try to burn off some of this ridiculous stress.

Oh, I see. Yeah, I don't know what's absolutely best, but what you got sounds pretty good.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I believe in you, Steph. And yes, yours is a normal reaction.
Shir, have I mentioned lately that I love seeing you here?
Oh, hon. I missed you too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I brought a picture frame to my team's annual white elephant gift exchange.
I ended up with...a different picture frame.
