Journaling ...

My W wants a new car. I bit my tongue, but I wanted to ask her if she wanted a shiny, red sports car. Just before Christmas and before DB-ing, she wanted a Smart car, the small two-seater. Mind you, we have 3 kids. I talked her out of it. Now she wants a Toyota FJ (some type of sports utility truck). She now drives a 2008 Minivan, which we own with no loan. She's the one who wanted the minivan and spoke up its virtues. Now in the throws of her MLC, it will no longer do.

I didn't really respond to her discussion of a new car. She mentioned how her co-worker on an impulse bought a new BMW. My W cannot trade-in in the minivan because it is in my name (oddly the Civic I drive is in her name). However, I guess she could just go out and lease one, which means we'll have 3 cars for two drivers. I hope not.
