Babbles of a Procrastinating Grad Student

I think I just bought a car.  

Well, will be buying a car tomorrow.  My brother, who is the best brother in the world, decided to help me purchase one for my move to the Yukon.  It's a loan, of course, and once I'm back on my feet I'll pay him back, but this was a god-send and I appreciate it so much.

So anyways, we were poking around kijiji today and found a few ads we were interested in.  Our requirements was a car with low(-ish) mileage, safetied, and around $1500.  The car we found?  130 000 km, red, and...an expired safety.  BUT, it just expired, is in really good shape, and was listed for $800.  I KNOW RIGHT?!  My brother came with and basically asked all the questions and crawled around in and under the car.  We're pretty sure it's in good enough shape to pass a safety inspection, unless there's something wrong with the brake or fuel line.  It's pretty bare bones, and has a bit of surface rust (that my brother can repair himself), but it starts well and runs smoothly and I THINK I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR!!!

Oh yeah, I'm 31 years old and only just doing what every 16 year old has done.

Now let's just hope that she doesn't sell it out from under me.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I just bought a rug.  It's pretty, burgundy with blue and cream and green flowers around the edge and middle, with tassels on either end.  The tassels may have been what won me over.  It's lovely, and didn't cost me much money (yay kijiji!).  I'm kind of hoping it's magical and I can ride it to work on nice days!

Seriously, I hope so badly that I get this apartment.  The more I think of it, the more I want it, and I can barely remember the other place anymore.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!  I wanna move next weekend!  :D

Look at my treasure find!  :D  I'm absolutely delighted with it!  Plus, $40.  How can I go wrong?  (And it rides well, so there)
