My intention for this Australian version of Reverb12 is to complete the writing near bedtime on the American day before the prompt is to be written. Last night, however, was consumed with driving a bunch of high school choir member from gig-to-gig and as soon as I got home, my son wanted (deservedly) attention so I didn't get to this until... now.
And in the spirit of Reverbing - that is JUST fine!
Kat's prompt for today: Your most significant spend?
What was your most significant expenditure in 2012?
My most significant expenditure was also the most pricey one. I am now the proud owner of a 2012 Mazda CX5.
I have not had a brand new car in this millennium. I have not had a brand new car since the last decade of the past millennium. I have bought some great second hand cars. I have been cool with that, primarily because I know about how brand new cars lose value as soon as I put a mile on them blah blah blah but getting this brand new car opens so many options for me.
I am a lover of road trips.
Four years ago my children and I set out on a cross country road trip and our car broke down – blown transmission – in the middle of South Dakota. This curtailed what was to be a fantastic adventure. As soon as I even thought about buying this new car I thought, “ROADTRIP!”
I have my first cross country trip planned for Summer 2014. Everything will be under warranty then, so I will have that feeling of safety as we set out this time.
This was such an easy prompt for me.
I am grateful for each and all of you reading. Thank you for sharing the end of 2012 with me!
