Mom Car

Today I went from this:



To this:



I am grieving.

I told Husband that the minute Little Husband can safely sit in the front passenger seat, Husband had better have another manual transmission convertible on order. Doesn't have to be new or expensive, just has to have a top that comes down.

Otherwise, I'm going to go from this:

After the snow the other day and his car got stuck on a hill, BF informed me that when it's time for me to get a new car in a few years we're going to get an SUV so he can keep his BMW. Granted, his BMW is nicer and three years younger than my Celica, but my Celica is so much more powerful! Why do the women have to give up the fun cars???

BTW, that first woman could be you. You should take on the Duggar mom look though: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jim_Bob_&_Michelle_Duggar.jpg

omg, i laughed and laughed at this. i can NEVER picture you looking like the after picture .... especially those jeans!

jd just said that if you need a convertible fix, you can come over and ride around in the jeep with the top down.

your new car looks GORGEOUS! i guess i need to buy something new and fancy to keep up with you and with C's new apt. I'm not as rock star as you guys anymore :)

Ahahahaha! "The Duggar Mom" -- I love it!!! She's eerily calm. There is NO WAY you can have 17 kids and be that calm and sweet. I bet she explodes one day.

Thanks for saying that the first woman could be me. After I published this post I thought, "Man, I sure hope people don't think I'm so conceited as to think that I look like that first woman." I was really just trying to say that I was going to go from Sexy Wife to Dumpy Wife.

Two Halloweens ago I wanted to go as a mom and planned on wearing "mom jeans". My friends, specifically Mississippi, wouldn't let me. Her rationale was that I had the rest of my life to look like a "mom", but only limited time to go as something sexy.

Bah ha ha.. no lie, I was just in a meeting this morning and saw that chick in the "after" pic! I work with her! hahah I'm on a mission to snap a pic of her and post it here..

Girl, you are WAY too hot to ever go to that far off land of high, mile long crotch jeans.. :)

Don't worry Femme au Fatal! I'm saving all my pennies/change (see the money bag under my dresser)! We'll get that fancy convertible again some day! BTW, you and the new wheels look GREAT!

I traded in my Jeep (convertable) for a Ford Focus station wagon.

Ohhh how I grieved.

Yeah, driving around aggressively and middle fingering people as you look down on them just doesn't have the same effect from a station wagon...

Life is so funny. When Mark got his convertible we were already 2 kids deep into life. All I could think was--what in the hell is he thinking!?? It's soo impractical. It’s tiny and even if the carseats (with child attached) could fit—I couldn’t stand the thought of seeing their little heads popping up like push-pins in the backseat. As I’ve been able to transition a little from mom-dom into woman-dom again I’m growing envious of Mark and his sporty, little car. Truly, I never thought I’d see the day, so it’s a relief. It's all about stages and priorites!

This is a hilarious post! Lol I hope your husband took note! Those jeans are awful!

I love the threat of mom jeans, that's awesome.

It's still a cute looking car! Imagine, at least it's not a minivan! Chris is still hounding me because he wants to get one. I just can't bring myself to do it.

Christy said...

well your old car was awesome, but I love your new car too!!

The comparison of the women is hilarious!! Very big incentive to get you back into a convertible I am sure!

I used to live in Austin-- I miss it dearly. Big D just isn't the same. But family is here so that is very nice.
