How I did it: I've been carless for two years. With baby on the way, we needed something to strap the carseat into. So after much research on Edmunds, Consumer Reports and Washington Post's Real Wheels I finally narrowed down what I wanted. I let my husband do the negotiating because honestly it made me nervous. But the dealers all seemed eager to sell and we were able to get a nice deal on a Rav-4. Read how I did it…
I’ve published things for work. My name is on it and you can google it. So I guess I’ve completed this goal.
It’s not as satisfying as I thought it would be. Maybe had I published a work of fiction I’d be more excited.
