Shrunken Footprint

I have reduced my footprint, slightly. No, it's not cold outside, and no, I did not sell my huge SUV. I have parked it.

My new job (which I still love, by the way) requires me to drive several hundred miles each week. Well, unless you have been hiding under a rock, or happen to be Amish (which would lead me to ask how you are reading this) you know that driving a full size SUV, several hundred miles each week these days is pretty darn pricey. So, I parked the SUV, and bought a nice, reliable, 4-cylinder car. 34mpg on the highway. Sweet!!

Before you fill your head full of images of Dodge Neons, Hyundai Sonatas, and Ford Focus', let me also say that I wanted to have some fun. So, I bought a 2004 Toyota Camry Solara. A red one. 34mpg never looked so good.


Best of all, it's Daddy's work car. No car seats, and no kids toys inside. Now, if I could just get Donna to give me the keys back.....
