The Blueberry

If you haven't heard yet I will be the first to tell you the news. You remember about a month ago when I told you about the car accident I was in? Well after a week and a half of calling the insurance all the time and going back and forth to the auto body shop the news finally came back that my car was totaled. Great huh! Well it actually was great because my old car was kind of crappy. The best news is that while I paid $5,000 for the car the insurance gave me $6,000 for it!!!!!! So two weekends ago I went to home to go car shopping. Boy was that a long day, I had to carry $6,000 with me all day because the banks were closing that was so was weird.

I had to give away all of the money the insurance had given me but before I did I had my mom take a picture of me fanning myself with it because I had never held that much money before in my entire life. And if I look a little stressed that's because I am, that is a day I never ever want to relive.
This is the person I bought the car from, he thought we were crazy because we made him take pictures with us so I could post them on the blog, but he went along with it anyways, probably because I had the money. But after he took the picture with me I let him have the money. :(And just like that all my money was gone, but I got a good car out of it so I guess it was worth it.

Now about the name. So you know that part in the first Willy Wonka when Violet Beauregarde eats the piece of gum that turns her into a giant blueberry? Well if you don't you're missing out and if you do you'll understand why I named my car the blueberry.

Well there you go, I know that took a while, but atleast there were a ton of pictures!
P.S. Thanks mom for helping me that day and for driving me over a 100 miles to look at all the cars. I still owe you a batch of cookies for that!

You only had eyes for "Blue". We're just so glad that you love your new to you car. And it was 300 miles we drove that crazy rainy day to find you a car, I think I was more excited than you to be done. Drive safe, and watch out for crazy drivers on the road.
