the thing has a radio, windshield wipers, tires with tread, and a gas cap that closes...super fancy! even comes with a hunky car payment financed by BMW, which i actually like (???). my next car will be a beemer, so i think of these payments as "establishing credit." hey, anything helps me deal. notice how pale i am after signing all those signatures on pieces of paper that kept being thrown at me. (i actually had to sign something stating i would not put chains on the car when going into the snow or my warranty would be voided. i have to use cables instead! how unfortunate.) notice also how long my hair is getting...already! (i'm getting it cut even SHORTER on friday. pixie, perhaps?)
so what happened to the jetta, you ask? i traded her in for a measly $1043. but she really was a wreck considering all she's been through over the past ten years. scraped wheels and a dinged-up body. no radio. manual windows. stick shift. side mirror duct-taped onto the body. i noticed something hanging from her underbelly as i drove into the lot, scraping the ground. it really was a sad site, so i should feel fortunate i got anything for her. can you imagine, i bought her right when i moved to cali, right before i started AMD. what a great car, though. she was truly the only stability i had during those ten years. all the moving i did, she moved me. all the traveling i did, she was there when i got back, battery juiced up and all. all my drives to the snow and trailheads, she made that fun happen. hell, she lasted WAY longer than any man in my life! much less maintenance, too. hehe. :)

Yay!! Congrats on the new car. =)
I tend to go a good 4-6 weeks between hair cuts, and that sometimes feels like a big stretch. I favor the "cut it almost too short and then let it grow till it looks like a totally different style" approach. That way it feels like I'm constantly changing my look. ; )
