fear of approval

so. had a regular prenat check up this morn with my crnm (is that right? certified registered nurse midwife?) (whatever, the woman who will deliver my baby). week 28 weigh in: 156 lbs! thats up 42 pounds from a pre-preggo 114. but i am apparently right on schedule, all looks good so on and so forth. last night i saw the baby move for the first time. that was incredibly bizarre. little alien creature. anyway, after the appointment i was a little early for work so we stopped into a ford dealership---just to look around. . . we ended up "applying" for a 2004 nissan sentra. and now im afraid we will be approved. car payments? i hate the idea. plus its a stick shift, which i am totally not thrilled about. but since my husband just learned how to drive a stick, he totally wants one. we also drove a saturn something. 2004 as well, but about a grand more. honestly i liked the nissan better. filling out the paper work i had to put down how much i make a month. i was really stretching the truth with 950/mo. like double stretching it. the guy gets out his whiteout and tells me he would like to hear 1500/mo. jeeze, so would i mister, but hey, ill tell you whatever you want to hear. sure 1500/month it is. does the same thing with kb... whatev. its after 4:30 and hes yet to call, so probably no deal. oh and guess what the trade-in value of the camry is... 100. thats how much of a piece of junk our current little car is. . .
