Wow today has been an insanely long day! We finally have a car now. Its the same brand and model as our old one, but ours is the new 2011 style.. Its pretty cool when I think about how I was there when my parents first bought the Toyota Sienna in 2004. Here we are 6 years later, purchasing the same car and I'm here to endure the long hours of a car deal all over again! At first, I was very excited to be with my parents to get the new car. But as time went on and waiting progressed, my patience decreased and I became grouchy. When we last went to the dealer, my brother pointed out that my father is always trying to get sympathy from the employees about his accident. Pa, I'm glad you're alive and everything, but you don't need to keep doing that. Maybe not including one or two people, my father told just about each person he encountered today. Also, he was getting into another man's business, asking what he bought and how much he was getting it for. I didn't confront my father; I just walked away and tried to ignore it. We were out of there by 7PM, which was when we headed over to Willowbrook for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. The wait was so long that my father just wanted to leave, but we checked two places before that and I just didn't want to move again. Dinner was good. I had a Cuban Sandwich and actually finished half of it! Considering the portions they serve there and how much I usually eat, this is surprising. Photo is from the dealership.
