I GOT A NEW CAR!!!

Technically, it's not new - given the fact that it was made in 1999 but, it is new to me and far better than the car I was driving, the car I non-affectionately referred to as the Regurjamobile on this blog a few times & in life daily.

The old car had problems that far exceeded your desire to read listed on my blog {not kidding!} and, while B.D kept telling me he was going to try to get it fixed, I have driven this car for 2 years too long! We have had it for two years.  Aside from the mechanical issues of the car, I disliked the all the mechanical issues....

The "new" car... is a 1999 Grand Marquis, metallic red, power everything, the interior makes it look as if no one ever sat in it - ever! It runs like a dream! Seriously!  I am not kidding.  So that, my friends, is my new car.  I have no photos of it, at this moment, perhaps...  But I am so excited and... I have never, ever had a car in MY name before!  Never, ever...

my husband balked me getting this car.  I'm certain he is worried about me having some independence and not at his mercy. I'm also certain that this is all about control.  

I wish I had the strength to tell someone how I feel,  how I am being treated...how much my children and I need to get away..
