Wanna buy a car??



Good morning. Do you like the "new" format? I finally got up enough courage to play around with blogger and it wasn't nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I do need help on two things...if you can help, please feel free to speak up. Firstly I read soooo many blogs that I would like to list like everyone seems to do and for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do that. Also, if anyone knows how I can get the font that crosses out your letters please let me know.

Ok, I am desperate, so I decided to go international with my plight. I really really really want to sell my car. I have loved it gently for the past 3 years but I need to downsize. I am thinking about this cute little red, two seater, convertible I saw. I have no idea what kind of car it was, I just know that I would look really good sitting in the driver seat. PLUS with only two seats I couldn't possibly haul sweaty little athletes across half the state for tournaments. Other than my own sweaty little athlete of course. Also, son #1 still wants to go to college so I am selling anything I can think of...jewelry, household items, basically I am downsizing my life. I am willing to drive wherever you are to deliver this car, especially if you live someplace really cool...hell, it doesn't need to be cool, I will go anywhere to get away for a day or two :) Just think for a mere $15,300 you could get this LOW mileage (26,000 miles) gem. It is loaded...air, sunroof, HEATED leather seats...(there is nothing like having your ass warmed on a cold winters day) and many other extras. C'mon, you know you want this and just think how good you will feel when son #1 mentions your contribution to his college education when he is giving his Summa Cum Laude address when he graduates from college. By the way...son #1 is selling his truck too. Thank goodness...I am NOT a truck person. I had to drive it last week and I felt like the only thing missing was my cowboy hat, huge belt buckle and wheat grass sticking out of my mouth. He only needs to get $8500 for his but, like I said it is a truck. Also...if you are the lucky purchaser of either vehicle, I will throw in some kind of thank you gift. Now all 3 of you that read this blog can scramble to your phones...no, wait, I am not posting my number..well you can comment and I will give you my number. Oh, if you pass this along to a friend that is looking, YOU still get the gift--I am kinda generous like that.

Oh gosh, I wish so much we could afford to buy another car. It's hard having only one for the both of us. Well, we do have a second, but it doesn't count as long as it's not running.

It's been a while since I used my blogger, but let's see if this helps you on the strikethrough.

When you are typing your post and you have a word or phrase you want to strikethrough (cross out), add <'del> in front of the word with no space (and no apostrophe) and end the word with <'/del> (again, no apostrophe). Since the font is not available on your help bar, you will have to learn this code.

Good luck with it and good luck with the temp car salesman job. Hope it works out well b/c I'm sure you don't want your son to turn into a car salesman instead of going to college (not that there's anything wrong with being a car salesman....I was one myself for two years).

I wanna buy another car, but I have to pay for another IVF cycle, so that is putting our car shopping on hold for a while longer.

Good luck selling it!

I would highly suggest bloglines if you want to make a blog list. It will publish and update automatically on your blog and if you go to bloglines to read it automatically updates which ones have been read. Check it out!

Well, I'm not looking for a car, and I live in Korea, so I think it might be a bit too wet of a drive for you, but I wish you good luck in your quest for the perfect buyer (and the perfect college fund).

Thanks for your nice comment on my blog. I'm so glad that I stopped by here, because I wanted to learn how to do that strikethrough thing too. Score! Now that I know where you are, I'll have to visit more often.
