Hot Mama's Club
It's official...I'm a soccer Mom. I am now the VERY happy driver of a brand new Honda Odyssey. Ward and I decided it was time for us to have a second car. We went back and forth on what type of car we would purchase. For me, I had my heart set on a mini-van. Ward wasn't quite so easily sold. We looked at the Yukons and I'll be the first to admit, the Yukons are nice. We test drove one and immediately I was sold. I forgot all about the Odyssey. After all I'm only 37 so maybe I just wasn't old enough to own a mini-van.

So the day comes that we decide to purchase the Yukon, when Ward says to me, "what do you think about a mini-van?" The look on face must have been shocking to him because he acted stunned when I became a little grouchy. I'm not one who enjoys shopping for cars. I just get an idea of what I want in my mind and nothing else matters. For instance, when we bought our Envoy, the only thing I wanted were large A/C vents. How easy is that?

Okay so we leave work early to go test drive the Odyssey. Let me tell you, the second I got behind the wheel all I could think was where in the world have you been all my life. I think I actually said that out loud. Driving is something I really have never enjoyed, I'm more of the happy-go-lucky passenger. Well now I can't wait to drive. Surprisingly enough, Ward loves it, and so does his little side kick Audrey.

I like to consider myself as the newest member of the "Hot Mama" club.
