I forgot to say....

..I took both girls with me on Wednesday afternoon and bought the Pilot. I was so proud of Elaine for behaving herself for the 3 hours we were there. She kept saying "I'm Lainee" to everyone so she got lots of attention. They also had crayons and a Dora coloring book that helped. In true Charlotte fashion, she slept most of the time. Of course she woke up when I had to sign the papers so that was a little tricky but I managed.

You may be wondering what kind of fool takes a toddler and a 3 month old to a car dealership. I don't have an answer. You may also be wondering where Rob was. I am the family car buyer. This is the third car a have purchased for myself and not to brag too much, but I am a really good negotiator. I find the key to be indifference. At first the salesman kept asking when I would bring my husband in but I finally laid it on the line for him about who the boss at home is and he then was very attentive to me. When I bought the Altima my original salesman wouldn't deal with me because Rob wasn't there so I bought from someone else. Apparently, I have issues men telling me what my husbands job is. I am perfectly capable of bossing him around without direction;)

You go girl! I know that you're great at negotiations. Remember our roommate situation? Whatever happened to her anyway? I love reading your blog and catching up on your girls!
