Peace Can

For Christmas this year Chett got me a van. Yay! Uh, wait. Couldn't drive it for 4 months while he takes his time to get it tagged, he had to get the title from his boss who he bought it from.
I took it upon myself then to sell one of our cars so therefore he had to tag it so I would have a car to drive. Alas, brings the drama.
He goes to tag it with the title. Title needs to be signed by bosses wife. Boss takes at least 3 days to get wife to sign it and give back to Chett, while I have no car to drive.
Also, it is a Missouri vehicle so we had to pay to have it inspected.
I told Chett when I get a new vehicle I want 3 things -
1) more space
2) DVD players for the kids
3) radio that plays my ipod
New van - 2003 has more space. 1 out of 3 things I asked for, no DVDs, and no ipod player... it does have 153,000 miles. Won't play CD's.  Drivers window doesn't roll down. Drivers side sliding door only closes when it is slammed because there is a dent.  Children don't know how to open the doors (they are used to Mema's super new nice vans)
I tried for so long to be thankful and not look a gift horse in the mouth and then the 2nd day I actually drive it (last week). It overheats on the highway.  Really?
So I tried to tell Chett that I hate it but then I still sound ungrateful. He hears "It isn't good enough."
Well......it isn't what I wanted. I didn't get to pick it out. It's broken. Yes, he got a really good deal but if he has to spend all this money to fix the window and the thermostat and serpentene belt and whatever else, cound't I have gotten a nicer van with nothing wrong with it???
So  I am just going to bite my tonque and decorate my "piece" with peace signs and make it fun to drive at least. When live gives me shit, I'm gonna make a peace out of it. I'm calling it my Peace Can.
By the way, can you put a peace sign upside down??? I just realized in picture 2, the metal peace signs are upside down....oops.
Picture 4 shows off my fluffy pink steering wheel, peace sign air freshner mom and dad got me for Christmas, and my peace sign, dove, world necklace rearview mirror bling! I also have on order a daisy antenna topper! Woot!
It's a Peace Can!
