Ok, I guess we have ‘new car fever’ or something. We’re being fairly obsessive about the new car. Picking out every grain of dirt and organizing it ‘just so’. Anyone who saw how little we cared for our old car in terms of neatness would laugh at us right now.
Anyway, on Sunday we went on a shopping trip to Canadian Tire – the big one on Cambie. Got an arm basket and went directly to the car section. Quickly upgraded to a shopping cart. Yeah. Um. Oops.
So, our car is all decked out now. We have all its cleaning products: wash, wax, towels, lambskin washing glove, spot washer for any quick bird doodie removal, inside cleaning/polishing wipes and some organizing stuff like collapsable bins for shopping and some bungee cords. So, we came home and washed our car and then waxed it. Oh, and put in some new all season car mats in the front (we forgot the back).
So much fun :)
Does she have a name yet?
One good thing about having kids is that they prevent you from getting all that obsessive about the car. One of my daughters spilled milk in the back seat of our Toyota about two weeks after we bought it, so that I had to remove the whole seat, wash it out with a hose and dry it in the sun several times, scrub the undercarriage out, etc. just to get rid of the rotten milk smell — and so the new car smell was gone almost right away.
After that, a few dropped crumbs didn’t seem like much.
