this.  this is mine.  
i signed my life away to ford last weekend.  i splurged on a certified pre-owned 2010 ford fusion sport with 16k miles and all the fun stuff inside.  
BUTT WARMERS.  i always swore that when i actually had to buy a car, that i would buy one with butt warmers.  check.
that’s the most exciting part of the whole deal to me.  the down payment is making for a tight month, and the car payments to come make me cringe a little.  but every time i cringe, i think:
how wonderful that i have a [relatively] new car with a good warranty, and maintenance worries are [hopefully] a thing of the past! 
and it should last me for many, many years.
how spoiled am i that i have butt warmers?  note: i really hate being cold.
how awesome is it that i won’t have to bum rides from The Boy when my car is in the shop? 
how grown-up am i now that i’m no longer borrowing cars from my grandfather for years at a time?
this is real life, huh?
