A NEW CAR!
Gah! I'm so excited! We got our new car yesterday! It's a 2005 with only 14,000 miles on it! I got to ride in it when dad drove it home.

Zig-zag: Hey dad.
Father Person: Yeah?
ZZ: Watch this.
FP: Alright.
ZZ: *presses a button*
FP: Uh... you turned the heat on...
ZZ: Yeah!
FP: So?
ZZ: *giggles* We have buttons... AND HEAT!
FP: *Laughs* You're easy to please.
ZZ: Look! Look! You press this and it actually does something too! They're not just for show! They DO stuff!
FP: *Laughs!*

We stopped at Taco Bell because dad was really hungry and wanted to try one of the new items they had. We went in to eat and dad decided to head home in the truck. So he went off and I sat with mom as she finished eating. I had the extra set of keys in my pocket and I took it out, because we have this cool thing now that you can lock and unlock the doors and pop the trunk away from the car, and waited until my dad got closer to the car. As we was going by the back of the car I popped the trunk. Hehehe, it was funny watching him jump. He turned and gave me: I'll get you for that look and shut the trunk. And I... popped it again. He laughed and shook his finger at me and shut it again. Then I re-locked the car because it honks when you do that and he jumped again. Hehe, I'm so mean and childish. I just couldn't help myself, I was in a giddy mood.

Heh. I even have the radio set with all out favorite stations.

ANYWAY! Besides the car I had a great day. Autumn came over and we hung out for a bit. Then we went out and jumped on the trampoline for a little while, but it was windy and the wind was making it too cold. I took my skateboard and we tried to ride it a bit, but I sucked, Autumn was better than me but wasn't very good either. We gave that up and got the scooters out.

Scootering around town was SO much fun. Autumn asked if there was a place where she could buy a soda and maybe some candy. I told her about the pizza place not too far from my home that was also a mini grocery store. We rode down there, but turns out the place closed down sometime last month. With no where else to go we went to the old park. It's a small, very rundown park. It has a couple swings, a metal slide, a plastic curly slide, and a couple other little things I'm not sure how to discribe. We swung for a bit and talked about how nice the park use to be and the old playground that the school use to have. It was nice revisiting old, happy memories. After that we rode our scooters back to the house.

We hung out and after a bit mom came home and Autumn was nice enough to drive Casey to her NHS thing at school so I could ride in the truck and see our new car. *squeal* New car!

Just a good happy day. And Autumn if you're reading this I think I'm going to cristen the car tomorrow and will be taking Casey to the mall if you want to come! Hehe, although me and dad said that the car was already cristened by all the dead bugs that got smashed on the windsheild on the drive home. NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh... hehe, and anyone who's smart with cars it's a Mercery Saber.

Although I'm WICKED excited about the new car, I'm going to miss the car we're getting rid of. It's a 1990 light blue Honda with 221 thousand miles on it. We got the car after my grandmother passed away in '96. I have some memories of my grandma driving me to dance class in it and I always think of her when I see it, so I'm really sad to see it go. I get too attached to things. Dad sold it cheap to a guy he knows who's son drives old cars around in a feild. I'm going to miss seeing that car around.
