my life lately, as someone who’s vomiting would tell it

I can’t find the creativity to write a decent blog entry and it’s pissing me off, so this is what you’re getting.

Feeling unorganized. Taking on a lot of freelance work. Buying a new Prius with the BG. Calling and getting a shitload of car insurance rates. Finding out I’m forced to get my NC drivers license. Insurance is a scam. DMVs are a scam. Owning a car is expensive and you only really figure that out after you stopped owning one for a while. Car dealers are a scam. It’s been hot as hell here lately. Exercise and yoga have been spotty, I just feel busy all the time (see “unorganized” comment above). Loving my friends in Raleigh (Morgan’s leaving in a couple of months, that kinda sucks). I’ve been having heart palpitations again, this time worse than ever. Just looked out the window and am seeing SMOKE from an eastern North Carolinia wildfire and thought it was smog. We’re leaving for Georgia tomorrow and the BG’s family doesn’t know yet that we bought the car. The other day I noticed that I’ve been here longer than I lived in Portland. Kinda sad, kinda happy. I’m cooking more, because I’m tired of waiting to be cooked for. ;) ME HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. CHOMP CHOMP

A more mature entry coming soon, I swear.

In the meantime, look at my car’s butt:

Prius Rear

oh my little consumer

So we’re thinking of buying a car, (and selling the hand-me-down Passat). At first we thought it’d be SWEET if we could find another Honda Insight but yea, they’re a little tough to locate now that gas prices are soaring. I found this weird thing that crawls multiple Craigslist city sites based on your preferences and used it to try to find an Insight even remotely near us. The closest I could find was in Texas and it was very overpriced.

We’ve talked about a few other options but then yesterday I came home from being out and Ben suggested we just hunker down and get a new Prius. And… yea. I think it makes sense.

I’m kind of excited… in a CONSUMER KIND OF WAY. (The shame.)
