Black Friday

Well, I don't usually join the mobs for shopping on Black Friday, but this year I did.

After doing some research and then being offered a contact by my parents, I met up with my dad to look into buying a new car. I have been looking at several makes and models, doing some research, and I even stopped at a Toyota dealership - checking into the Prius.

Today I looked at the Ford Fusion and in about three hours I bought one. I am excited because it is the color I want and it has quite a few 'bonus' features that weren't on my 'needed' list but will make the car fun and efficient to drive.

I am excited, although this also closes an age. In my deal I traded my old car - it is almost 10 years old and was the first car I bought on my own. So it is a good day and a needed day, but there are some feelings of, well, not sadness, but nostalgia. Here's to a new day - maybe Blue Friday instead of Black Friday, as my new car will be a beautiful blue.
