Ok. I know. I know. I know. It’s been over a week since my last post. It’s certainly not for a lack of something to write about. Things are just kinda crazy around here right now and I just haven’t had the time. A pitiful excuse, but one I choose to embrace. I do have a post that I wrote sitting in the Las Vegas airport last Saturday. It’s on my laptop at home. I swear. I’ll try and get it put up tonight or tomorrow… I went to a screening of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on Tuesday night. I need to write my review of that as well. (The book is one of my all time favs so the movie could have really sucked, but it didn’t. I liked it. A lot. A more detailed review will come later. I promise.) What I want to talk about today is my new pony. It’s shiny and blue. Did I mention that’s it’s not a real pony? It’s a mechanical one. A Ford one. A Mustang. It’s so pretty. I had a ’65 Mustang convertible that I adored and drove all through high school (and never should have sold), but I’ve always wanted a ’68 Mustang fastback. Well, this is as close as I’m going to get to one of those for a very long while and I have to say I couldn’t be happier. It is sooooo much fun to drive. I’ve wanted one of these Ponies since they came out last fall and just wasn’t able to justify it. Well, some serious cards fell into place in the last couple of days and yesterday I walked onto the lot and bought one. The salesman came up and asked if he could help me and I said, “Yeah. I’d like to take my new Mustang for a spin.” He was like, “Your Mustang?” I just smiled and said, “Yeah. My Mustang. That blue one over there.” So we drove around the block. They appraised my truck. All the numbers worked to my liking and presto-chango I have a new car. It took just over an hour. The salesman’s eyes got really big when I told him I didn’t want to finance the car. I wanted to trade in my truck and pay for the rest. I must say that I recommend just paying for a car outright if you ever get a chance. No credit checks. No hassling. Just the writing of a check. Simple… and kinda fun. A friend told me that I’m a car dealer’s wet dream. A woman who knows what she wants and wants to pay cash for it. Hehe. And no fucking car payments. Woo and Hoo! I admit that I’m leading a charmed life right now. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. And it will. It’s unavoidable. Karma is a bitch and life tends to be a zero sum game. Nobody wins unless somebody loses. Let’s just hope I keep this winning streak up for a little while longer. I’ve got a potentially HUGE interview next week. I want this job so bad I can taste it. So everybody cross your fingers and toes that my luck holds out just a little bit longer. Happy Friday all!
