I can't think of a single interesting thing that's happened to me lately to write about. So, I think I'll write about the un-interesting things.
It seems as though my mom and I are going to move. I really like the house that we live in now, but if we have to move, it's not a huge deal. So the two of us were driving around looking at things over the weekend. Anything my mom really liked, I really didn't. And anything I liked, it seemed that she didn't. As it stands she'll probably be moving to the states, at which point I'll pay the mortgage and live wherever we end up. So, it's sort of important that I like it. Anyway, before we can really do too much looking, mom will have to sell this house.
So, since I'm thinking about eventually having a mortgage to pay, I'm thinking about my car. My car which I love but which costs me a fortune. It's a lease, and theoretically I'm stuck in it. But, there are ways around everything, aren't there? :) I haven't been to talk to the people at the dealership yet, but I think I will soon. There's a strange noise coming from the front end that needs to be looked at, so perhaps I'll speak to someone while I'm there having that looked at.
My thoughts are, if I could get someone to assume the lease on this car, then I could get something cheaper. I looked at the Chrysler site last night and discovered that I could pay $300 a month for a Neon, and own it eventually. Now, I'm not entirely sure that I want to drive another Neon, but there must be other cars out there that are equally cheap. I really like the big engine in my car because I do tend to drive on the highway a lot, but I guess I could live with a smaller one again. It'd certainly be better on gas.
So, that's what I've been thinking about. Like I said, I love my car and will really miss it, but in the grand scheme of things, it's just a car...there are more important things in life.
