Anytime ?

I have truly been a crazy person since I last posted on the 19th.

I went back to work the next day convinced that I would be going into labor any day and let everyone know that if they had something that they needed me to train them on then they better get with it because I was outta there. Obviously, this did not happen.

So, basically 2 things have been going on in my life right now that I am truly obsessing over - finding a car or having a baby, whichever comes first. Ever since the Ford Dealership incident (which I did call them the next day and gave them a good piece of my mind, but don't tell Dan!) I have now narrowed my search to a specific car - a Subaru Tribeca. I had been emailing an Internet Salesperson for roughly a month and half about a car that I really wasn't sure if I was interested in or not and was more just having fun messing with someone at work (I know, I never said I was nice?!). Well, after much contact through email and car searching I decided that I would actually go and check this car out and look at it in person. When I got there I truly fell in love with this car and decided to take it for a test drive and then fell even harder. One thing you will need to know about me is that I really need to "love" my car, if I don't then I'm not going to keep it, somehow my husband has lost sight of this with the last 2 vehicles that he has chosen/picked and purchased for me without any of my input - thus the car hunting chase right now. I decided to let them give me a quote on my car for a trade-in. The price was not pretty on my car and I got a quote on their car. After talking to Dan and doing some research I went back the next day and threw my title and a blank check down and said "let's talk numbers and make something work for both of us". Unfortunately, we have yet to make a deal on this car, they just will not give me more for my trade-in and Dan will not let me spend more to get the car. So, the hunt began after that for any other used Tribeca's in the area. I have looked on-line and sent off some emails and even drove to Denver this last weekend. It has been fun, exciting, stressful and disappointing all at the same time. It has been funny when talking to the salesman on the phone and they ask what my time frame is and I've told them "I'm either buying a car or giving birth, whichever comes first" - hopefully they get as much of a kick out of it as I do! I do have one guy this week that is really working hard to make a deal, he currently only has new Tribeca's on his lot, but tomorrow is heading to a Subaru auction and is going to look for a used one - sweet, he asked me what color and specifics I was looking for and everything - great! The other bonus with this guy is the owner also owns the Dodge dealership in their town so to me that would mean he would be more inclined and able to give me a better deal on my trade-in because they wouldn't have to re-sell it to another dealership to sell, they can just sell it from their own lot (this is also my hopeful thinking). So, I will be anxiously awaiting to hear back from this gentleman tomorrow. I am also hoping the other dealership may reconsider their offer now that it is the last week of the month and maybe they have not met quota and need to sell a car.
Baby News:
No baby - what the hell?! I have talked to "jr." and let him know that he is no longer welcome to use my uterus for a home. My stomach literally feels like it will not stretch anymore at this point, so every large movement that he makes is not feeling so pleasant. He has dropped some more I can tell from last week and now the "pressure" is on. He either needs to make me go into labor and come out or crawl back up and get his head off of whatever he is pushing on because it makes for one unpleasant day sitting at work or at home. I have another Dr.'s appt. tomorrow morning and will be talking to the doc - she is already on board for some stripping (women will babies know what I am talking about) and I am all for it, let's get this done and out. We are ready to meet this little man and I don't want to be pushing out a 10 lb baby from you know where - it was not meant for something that big.

So these are my thoughts for the week, wish me luck on either a car or a baby - again, whatever comes first.
