New Car! (62) 
I’ve never had a brand new car before in my entire life! Not even when living with my parents growing up! 
BACKSTORY:
Currently Mike and I share 1 car. I traded mine in over a year ago for a scooter. We love just having 1 car & the scooter because if I need the car Mike works close enough to use the scooter. Anyway.
Mike’s car was 7 years old. He bought it back in 2002 for college. So, really, it was his car. Though we shared it now, to me, it always felt like his and I hated how it drove. It was a Kia Sportage. Totally worn and stained and falling apart. He was an art major so the seats were torn and stained with paint and ink and just BLAH! The warranty was up 2 years ago and since then it just sucks money from us constantly with needing nonstop maintenance. We’ve been NEEDING to get a new car. So when we realized our car qualified for the Car Allowance Rebate System we decided this was the best time for us to buy. We qualified for the full $4,500 credit!! Because the little jeep-like sportage got HORRIBLE gas mileage. Basically this bill allows someone with a very NON-eco friendly car to get up to $4,500 towards a new, better fuel economy car instantly. We didn’t want to spend much because car status isn’t important to either of us 
So we went for the 2009 Hyundia Accent in the end! We looked at so many different cars this weekend but we just kept coming back to it because of price AND ratings. We both liked the sportage for lugging stuff around, so we wanted a hatchback still and FUCK YEA yellow!! HAHAHAHHAAA! We were both in love with this “mellow yellow” color! It was also cheaper, hahahahaaa. Cars are so freakin’ boring here!! DC is so black and gray. Dear God. When I was testing driving it this woman screamed “CUTE CAR!!” at me and waved, LOL.

Pajamas & Recipes (34)
I ended up feeling quite sick this morning so I went ahead and stayed home. I was resting on & off again all day and feel 70% better now. I dunno, maybe it was just stress & exhaustion? Or maybe I’m fighting off some cold. I’ve had an on & off again sore throat for days. I don’t know. I was just downstairs this morning trying to shack it off so I could get ready for work. I was lying there and thinking, “OK, 30 minutes to get ready, I can make it.” Then 20, then 10, then I realized I wasn’t gonna make it, I felt too awful, haahaa.
While in a semi-dream state I was watching the Bonnie Hunt show and they had some woman there with the book, Hungry Girl. They shared 3 recipes which can be found here. I’m trying them out! I got really excited because the pasta recipe calls for these tofu noodles Mike and I have already been using!! Yea, tofu shirataki noodles!! Extreme low in calories & carbs! They taste great too.
We bought the original yam shirataki noodle too but haven’t tried them yet.
