Speaking of which, whatever happened to TGIF? You know, all the good TV shows that used to be on ABC from 8-10pm? I remember the 4 of us (mom, dad, kim, me) would always go out for dinner on Friday nights---usually with another family---and then we'd rush home to get ready for TGIF. Family Matters, Step by Step, Boy Meets World....I loved all of them. Seems like there isn't any good family-friendly shows on TV anymore. I know I wouldn't have been interested in Dateline when I was that age! Hmmmmm....
It's Friday! Joe and I went to Hillsboro last night to look at a Subaru. Our new plan: buy a really cheap one, pay cash for it and drive it till it dies. Probably like a 2000-2002. When I hear 2000, 2002 it doesn't seem that old. I guess it is, but I don't care. My number one goal is no car payments! I want to be freed of that and we both know that an older Subaru will be fine for what we want to accomplish. Plus, no car payment=more money for vacations. More important to me. :) We didn't end up buying the one we drove last night. We both agreed that part of it is because we aren't ready for the hunt to be over yet. We're both addicted to searching for the perfect used car. Even me! Joe has really rubbed off on me. We found a few more we're going to look at on Sunday. Pretty exciting! If we buy one before our lease is up in October we're going to do a big road trip. It will feel SO good to drive as far as we want without watching the odometer. I will NEVER lease again!
Going to Puyallup tomorrow to see Baby E! So excited for a little adventure with my mom, sister and Sophie. Will get to see my in-laws probably too. They have our Girl Scout Cookies! We ordered them from Joe's cousin in Cle Elum and they finally made it across the state.
Have a great weekend!

When I was taking Joanna to the Spelling Bee, she was riding in my car and saw that it was a manual instead of an automatic...she said "Don't TELL Katie!"
But I said, "No, they want a newer Subaru."
I love my Subaru regardless of age! And yes, it's better for being a manual! Although, I just had to replace the engine...and basically everything else. If you get one that's around or with more than 100,000...test drive it to a mechanic so that they can look at the head gasket, aparently most Subaru's blow/crack theirs around 100,000.
Good luck in the hunt!
OMG, I totally know what you mean. I just wrote about that too... What ever happened to those good old shows? I used to LOVE TGIF too. Perfect Strangers, Step by Step, Boy Meets World, Family Matters ... Those were the days.
I was JUST talking to Tim the other day about TGIF shows and how I wish they were on! :)
