Murano Be Gone!

real talk.

[This one's for all the other folks who've gone out to see this & would agree with this sentiment.]

More IMPORTANTLY!, today marked the selling day of the Murano that's been lying dormant in our garage for a few weeks now. Amen!! I have to admit I was a little apprehensive at first, but primarily because Joe called me to inform me that an interested buyer was driving in from over an hour away to test drive and likely purchase the car. Since Joe's in Atlanta, it's just me, so I did a quick exploration of my options. At first, I called Cathie, wondering if they may be available to swing by for a few minutes. It seemed fitting, since Adam is our go-to auto mechanic of sorts. They were already en route with their dog to the vet, so I called Mo, who had planned on coming by already. She agreed to come an hour or so early. I informed my neighbor of the transaction about to take place, jokingly but with a slight edge of honesty telling her to call someone if she hears random screaming emerge from inside my house.

As it turned out, the adorable couple of country bumpkins that came bopping into the cul-de-sac in a beat up pick up couldn't have been more fun. Mo and I settled into the backseat of my Murano [weird] after explaining in great length to the wife how the keyless entry on this particular car actually works. The four of us took a test drive in a big circle around some populated areas, idly chatting about things related to farm equipment and country phrases that I haven't heard since I left my own podunk hometown. Good stuff :) We made it back in four separate but whole pieces [think about it], and when it was all said and done, we ended up with a garage emptied of one car, a check for partial payment, and a wad of real live cash to cover the rest. Holy I've-never-held-this-much-money-in-my-hand-at-one-time-EVER. [[Don't try to find me, it's already at the bank.]] before depositing, Mo and I had ourselves a little fun with the green paper, pretending for 15 minutes that we were actually two crazy celebrities so delusionally wealthy that this would've been pocket change. We took a few pictures before stacking that stuff back together, handling it like fine china for some reason, and locking it away.

yenno. no big deal ;)

Bottom line, Murano = Sold! Amen! :)

That's about it, folks. We made back just in time for The Voice!
