Midlife Crisis, More Like Midlife Excitement

I finally got to get a new car; a car just for me.  I rarely have passengers now that my kids are grown up and have cars of their own which meant the world was my car lot and I could get any kind of car I wanted.   Well, any kind in my price range which believe me was not very substantial.

At first when asked what kind of car I was going to get I responded with “something cute and something small” and everyone chuckled and wished me well.  Once I’d spent some time driving cars and trolling Craigslist I decided I wanted a 2 seater and suddenly I was having a midlife crisis.  So I bought a Mazda Miata hardtop convertible.

Check out my midlife crisis.  It’s got clean interior, a kickass stereo system and an alarm system.  My husband and I fit perfectly and there’s no room to haul around kids and their friends or take crap to the dump or haul unwanted crap to the Good Will Stores.  After driving the egg-on-wheels mom-mobile for the last 13 years I got me a car that serves no other purpose than to have a good time.  Yeah buddy, here’s to getting my midlife crisis on.

  1. Kelly, I read a yahoo article you wrote in 08 regarding religion and your follow up to it. Someone very close to me has sucked in and I was hoping you wouldn’t mind discussing with me.
