Sorry all, my internet is down and I have been busy..
So, my internet is temporarily out of service until my handy dandy brother can come over and hook up a new cable. It is funny, I didn't know I was so internet dependant, now what do I do with my free time? I suppose I could read some more of the educational books I bought, clean the house, play with the pets, or do some other pointless task? You know they say the internet is a great learning tool, and it is great for research, but I think I learn more when not on the internet because I like to read.
Speaking of research tools, my internet couldn't have gone out at a worser time. I have decided after driving on the roads that one treacherous day that I would like a pick up with 4 wheel drive. Yeah, I can drive my car, but really... can I drive it out of the ditch or through 3 feet of snow, and can I really predict when it is going to snow too much for my car? Okay, enough excuses, what it comes down to is I want a truck, I have always wanted a truck, and I have just been too cheap to buy one, but now I have excuses to go with my wants, so it is all good. My mind has been flying around with ways to save money and all the possiblilities... and finally I found ways to break even on the extra expenditures of a truck... put liability on both vehicles, only drive the truck in the winter so I can still save on gas, have a spare vehicle and less worries about saving up money in case my car gives out on me or I hit a deer... good enough excuses for me.
Problem is I like my spending money too.... and I have some spending money saved, soooooooooooooo...... cheap truck... wait better yet, totalled truck, less worries once again. So I checked out the insurance auction and I bid on a S10 4X4 with hail damage. My Dad said if I got it he would get me a bumper sticker for it that says "I am a little dingy." Cute... really... but I lost out on the dingy pickup so on to the next one... it is like gambling, eventually I will get a totalled dingy pickup for cheap, but I did really like the S10, even though I trully want a full size one. It just so happens a buddy at work has the exact pickup I was looking for and he is giving a co-worker a deal on it... me.... if I want it and he is asking exactly the amount of money I have saved up.. great.. I would be broke with a pickup... I told him to try and sell it for what it is worth first... he can't just give away X amount of money because I am a co-worker... that isn't right....
Oh, and as far as the eligable bachelors my Dad had lined up for me at his work party... yeah... umm... there is the 60 year old with 100,000 in the check book supposedly, and the young buck with three DWIs that still drives cars without a liscence, just buys a new car before the tabs expire... great Dad, thanks really.... thanks... at least he considers me worth a lot of money with the first one, but the second... really... yikes... the worst thing was he got his buddy on the band wagon of making fun of me.... *grimace* Oh well, the party was alright.
