Accident or unconsciously on purpse?

I came face to face with a typical Lindsay moment. Seriously, the definition of my life.

I have had this car for 5 years. 5 long years I have spent trying not to put miles on my car because I had done a 5 year lease. I know that if you go over the set mileage then when you turn the car in you owe a BIG chunk of change. So five years to the day would be a few days before Christmas this year, and I have just under 60,000 miles. Lame...i know.

Anyway, I contacted the dealer to find out how I go about turning the car in and such since the date is about four weeks away. I have been getting super pumped to start looking at new cars. Although, the thought of having to buy and pay for a car right now terrifies me (i am still a full time student and have yet to enter my "big girl job"). Anyway, the dealer informed me that i have one last payment to make and then the car is mine. WHAT? I own the car. Five years ago, little 19 year old me didn't realize it but bought the car instead of leasing it. I have one payment left and then the car is 100% mine and 100% paid off. So without knowing five years ago I purchased a car. By accident.

defintions and introductions

My favorite definition of ode...

"A lyric poem of some length, usually of a serious or meditative nature and having an elevated style and formal stanzaic structure." Sounds fierce, huh?

Right now I choose 2010. I am so ready for everything to come that year (25th birthday, Heathers wedding!!!!, and a fresh start). So ready to put 2009 very, very, very far behind me. I choose new memories, new pictures, my wonderfully supportive friends, family and a new me. I choose for 2010 to be an ode to myself, an ode to me. So come on, lets get through these next few weeks. At least from now until then I will be with my most favorite people ever. I feel pretty lucky to have this time of the year in the company of such fantastic people. People who never judge, constantly support and get me to "get real"...

People who support my ode to myself...xoxo
