Bought the Parasite a Minivan

Yesterday the hubby and I joined the adult world and bought a minivan. My husband suffers from serious buyer's remorse so all night we had to deal with recriminations about how stupid we were to have made a purchase. But I, on the other hand, have no problem buying something and then actually enjoying it. So, here I am enjoying it:

It is a Kia Sedona. It's huge. It's the hugest car I have ever had (I'm a little sedan driver). It has enough space in the back if you pull out the seats to put a large bike lying down on its side with plenty of space. It pulls up to 4000 lbs (so if we ever have anything that big we can tow it somewhere if we have somewhere to tow it). It's glacier blue and gray on the inside. The glacier blue kind of looks silver in some lights. It has a 12 inch dvd player in the back with 4 headsets so whoever's in back (probably the parasite or one of us when we travel long distances) can watch a movie loudly and not bother anyone else. When you drive on the highway you can talk to people in the back and it's not like you're yelling at them. It does well up hills as it has a V6 engine (whatever the hell that means) so we can go skiing easily (unlike the protege which stalls going up our driveway). It's very comfortable! And if you crash into something all sorts of pillows jump out at you from all sorts of angles.

And, they gave us a box to put in the back of it to catch stuff. To which the husband replied, great we spent $24000 and they gave us a box.

You can never win with these people who don't like to purchase stuff!!
