WANT vs. NEED

Buying what you WANT vs. buying what you NEED.

I NEED a pair of black flats that can be worn casually or dressed up for work and play. I kind of NEED a pair of brownish cute tennies that are casual and can be worked in. I WANTED and BOUGHT a pair of summertime sandals with 2-inch heels that are cuter than all get-out and make my feet look fabulous.

I love shoes.

Oh yeah. And I did buy the washer and dryer that I NEEDED. Don't worry, that came first.

2002 Toyota Solara Convertable

Oh how I wish I had the money to buy the car I test-drove yesterday. That's OK. I'll find the perfect car for the perfect price at the perfect time!!! So long as that time is before my car goes ka-blooey. =)

1999 is Too Old

Apparently, a 1999 computer is not the ideal machine to have working for you. Or Windows 98 being the Operating System. Guess what? It's time for a new computer. I can't even put the CD of pictures from Walgreens in and SEE THEM, let alone put them on my computer to then upload to here to you all could enjoy the fun I've had with Coda and my friends lately!

Good thing my car is still running (knock on wood).

Fun things to come? We're having a faculty-student basketball game next week and I'm the MASCOT!!! Envision me running around and dancing like a fool in a bronco outfit. I'm PUMPED. Really, I am. I'm serious.

Other exciting news? Bob has finished his stint at Deadman Hospital! He moves next weekend. I'm going to miss him! I really like having my parents close. It's convenient, but very homey. And being 30 mins. from them is fantastic. The perfect distance. Now I'll be 10 + hours from them... again. That's OK! I have a ton of family in the area and we'll have a blast! I'll just run to Bill and Carol more. They can't wait. =)

Going to get ready to take Coda out - it's an ordeal, but the training has already paid off. Walking her is much better than her walking me. =) Now if I could get all the scratches to heal...

CIAO!

Random Notes

Wheeeeeeee! It's Friday and I'm NOT AT WORK! I am working hard though - making sure my animal doesn't destroy anything at my parents just in case I'm given a 30 minute warning to book it out of here with the house looking spectacular so it'll sell. Arg. Cleaning has never been my favorite thing to do. Alyse is the only one I know who seems to enjoy it.

So here I am, reading other people's blogs and checking out used car prices. Mine is making a weird noise lately. Not a good one, either. Mom's guessing the transmission. I'm not paying for a new transmission. It's not worth it. 177,000 miles on a 13 year old car. I may be wrong (PLEASE let me be wrong), but it's time to start looking at cars more seriously.

EASTER'S HERE!!! Meaning... Katy's coming into town, Alyse and Jeff are coming into town, and I get to hang out with a bunch of family! YEAH! How excited am I? I love holidays in Texas - I don't have to travel much anymore to be around people. They come to ME! Well, to other family members and I drive 30 minutes.

Alrighty. Have a great time, and I'll get some more pics up soon!

Ciao.

Irrational Behavior

Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary describes "irrational" as such: 'lacking usual or normal mental clarity or coherence'.

Let's talk about rational behavior and thinking for a moment, shall we? I got off the phone with someone this evening who has decided they will NEVER get a divorce in their lifetime. Even if the other person wants one. Hmmm... So they want to be with someone who obviously doesn't want to be with them. Rational, or Irrational? Nevertheless I am slightly bemused at all of this considering the divorce is GOING TO HAPPEN one way or the other.

I just had to vent for a moment. Thanks for taking the time to read it.
