That new-car smell
Dec. 30th, 2023 07:41 pmWhee, I have a car - it's a used car so I guess it doesn't literally have the new-car smell, but you get the idea. It's this one (nope, the pictures went away sometime overnight. '21 Kia Forte in black, a nice little sedan that from the inside feels just like my Corolla did except it has more bells & whistles.)
So we spent the whole afternoon at the dealer, but they were very nice and we had our pre-approved loan so it could have taken way longer. We watched some of the Orange Bowl while we were waiting, which, wow, Florida State can't really complain any more about getting screwed by the bowl committee, can they? (Maybe Georgia can, though.)
We pretty much deliberately stay home on NYE because I'm afraid of running into drunk drivers ("amateur drinkers," somebody said), and anyway, Rob drinks one glass of wine a day and I rarely drink at all any more, so we're not big partiers these days. We're going to out to eat with my sister and BIL on Monday, that's our celebration.
I may do some year-end wrap-up entries between now and Monday. We'll see if I get my shit together on that.
