i have tried to rearrange the furniture in the living room. two hours & a grumpy husband later, it ended in the original arrangement. considered going back to school but can't decide what it is i would be going for, plus i would still have to work full time. looked at other job opportunities but it is simply too risky at the moment... i am just holding on to the hope that new positions may open up for me at my current office. then i thought... maybe a new ride is what i need.
let me throw in a bit of my driving history: in high school, daddy bought a gray mercedes for me. this was totalled before the end of my senor year. (not my fault.) i loved that car so much that daddy then found a white one for me to drive. this one met it's untimely end on christmas eve 3 years later. (completely my fault.) there were also several other small wrecks & countless speeding tickets involved. knowing that i could never find a car to measure up, i went with a chevy s10. and i drove her for 10 years. a pickup can be very convenient. throw anything i want in the back, drive through the pasture when i feel the need, and i never slowed down for railroad tracks. little blue & i had many good times together. she also helped me through many rough nights, several ditches & a very ugly el camino.
last week we had a bittersweet goodbye. a white mustang on a lot that i pass by every morning had been smiling at me for over a week, so i stopped in just to take her for a spin. i truly did not think a sports car was in my budget but it turns out this was one of the very few times that i was wrong. after a night of no sleep, i went to sign the papers. and what a difference it has made in my life. a fresh perspective is what i needed... and roxy gives me a beautiful view from her driver's seat.
