Okay soooo my hubby may totally not like this but I have to dish on his sooo funny mistake. Especially after my little mix up with the new car.
Last night we were watching a movie on HULU on the computer, and my husband feels the urge to use the bathroom. So as usual he wanted to pause the movie, so he picks up the remote.... to the tv.... and tries to pause the movie.... on the computer LOL He kept pushing the buttons over and over and got frusterated because it wouldn't pause... then it dawned on him as he looked down at it.... oohhhh it's the tv remote. I laughed soo hard I teared up, mostly because that is something that I would do... not him, soo it made it that much more funny. Awww these are the moments ;)

YEAY A new Car!
Finally! WE are soo excited we bought a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica a few days ago. It has soo much room, it seats 6 and has Captains seats for our passengers... How comfy! I even sat in the back to check it out we totally love it. Annnndddd I totally have a story already.... it was a blonde moment =)
So my sister Kim (who rocks) took me out to get the car last Thursday in Ontario where we bought it. As I was driving off the lot with it I happen to notice that the spedometer happen to look kinda different but it was a thought that entered my mind and flewww right back out when I started playing with all the gadgets in it.... like the awsome stereo =) Soooo we go to enter the freeway to head back home (Kim is following me in her Jeep) and I look down and notice the spedometer again..... it says that I am going 110 and every car, I mean EVERY car was passing me..... then I see my sister pull up beside me and as she is doing that I realize the difference that I noticed the first time on the spedometer.. IT'S IN Kilometers PER HOUR! WHAT?!?!?!
Is this car foreign, what the hay, I have noooo idea how to read kph and it must be like double or more than mph because even semi trucks were pasing me LOL. My sister looks over from her car and mouths to me "is everything alright" and I just answered oh yeah everything's fine..... AHHHHHHHHHH! So I frantically picked up the phone to call my husband who had test driven the car the day before when we purchased it to ask him what the heck he was thinking not telling me that we bought a car that reads in Kph. As I am explaining my debacle he says "WAIT! stop.... you crazy woman (he's laughing at me)... there's a button on the dash board it says US/M push it....." so I push it ..... BLONDE moment..... The car reads both mph and kph and the person that detailed our car must have pushed the button while they were cleaning it... let's just say, I will not be forgetting that little... wonderful.... Annoying.... button ;).
Despite this little incident I still love this car it is soo awsome.

A new car.....
OKAY..... I have to vent about car salesman!
Picture this.. you are parusing the internet looking for the perfect car..... you are looking for something that will give you enough room so that your children won't kill each other in the back seat and you can actually enjoy the ride when you are traveling to various places. Then suddenly you spot it! Shiny, big, beautiful, looks like new.... you love it, it calles your name.... you punch the numbers in the phone, to find out more information on this beaut that you hope to call your own. On the other side of the phone you hear praises of glory that it is in great shape, that there is just "one" thing that they had to repair but that it is running great and is immaculate inside and out.... look at that price.... what a deal. You go down and leap out of the car in excitement.... (making sure the salesman has no idea that you are feeling this way) and you see it, sitting there. You take it for a test drive and love how it handles, it is just what you imagined. You know that this is the car that you want, there are others that would do, but this one.... it's got it all. Then.... out of the shadows a skinny, short little man comes..... closer and closer, you know that he's going to try to get the most out of this because.... well that's what he does. (dun dun dunnnnn) You tell him that you want a carfax and want to take it to a man... well a man that knows cars and will tell you that this car is in excellent condition and that you found the deal of a lifetime! Then you get the call from the one that you call... husband, you hear the words "it's a no go.... it's leaking oil everywhere and that skinny short little man didn't fix the thingy that he said he fixed" The blood rushes to your head you feel angry, cheated, lied to, it reaffirms those feelings of anxt that you get when going to look for that special car that will make life easier. "WHAT A JERK" You say aloud. But you try to look at the bright side, you found the car you wanted and you will continue your journey for another one a better one..... one that will not fall apart the second that you drive it off the lot. You come to the conclusion that, thank god you have the smarts to get a carfax and have a mechanic loook at the car.
BUT the search will go on, you will not be defeated by the skuzzy car salesman, you will find it! Just another day in the adventures of the Walls family =)
