Shoes and Cars
Once again, busy, busy, busy! Not with designs, but with car shopping and The Atlanta Shoe Show.
I hate car shopping. Hubby does all the research, but then we go and test drive, and test drive and test drive and narrow down what we want…*tiring*
But, over and over, I kept going back to the Volvo - with the V70 wagon or the S60 sedan. Yep, that is what I wanted!
So, we are off to the Atlanta Shoe Show (for hubby’s work) and he comments…there are so many dealerships here and they are very competitive, we should buy a car here!
I make my move on that note…yes, thats a great idea. So, after a fabulous brunch at our favorite French bakery in Marietta, we are on our way to the show and lookie there, a Volvo dealership! Hubby pulls in…the point was to drive both a wagon and the sedan and decide which one.
Well, they had no wagons…no one has wagons….everyone is looking for wagons (I am talking pre-owned, not new)
But they have a gorgeous gold S60…low miles…..I test drive it…then I say…”I’m tired of waiting…let’s DO THIS NOW!!”
Five hours later (and without ever making it to the shoe show that day) I am driving away in my new car!
We did get to the show the next day and while it was a fast blur through it, I did get to bring home (to test drive) a pair of flipflops designed to give your legs a workout when you wear them. They are called Fitflops.
One perk of being married to the foot/shoe guy is that he is always bringing me home shoes to ‘try out’.
So, my latest news is new workout flipflops and a new car. Not a bad deal.
