good bye Sally

I just sold my beloved mustang, lovingly named Sally by my best friends little boy many many years ago. She is a 2000, V6, standard. I LOVE this car. Always have, probably always will.

But about a year ago my old age started catching up with me in my knees. Sally is a stick shift. You get the picture. Well recently it has gotten A LOT worse and we knew it was time to look around for Sally's replacement. And we got our answer last month when we started talking to my in laws about a possible switch of their 98 Ford Explorer and Sally, for my 16 yr old brother in law.

We also started to look at used car lots even, just in case the trade fell through... through a series of events, we ended up putting Sally on craigslist AND my in laws offered to GIVE us the Explorer because they found a really good deal that they couldn't pass up for a newer car for Taylor.

SO, a nice family is buying her for their daughter... and I am truly sad to see her go, but its time. We had a lot of good memories, and a lot of close calls, because I am a terrible driver haha

I love you my Mustang Sally :) I will always treasure our 8 years together

see my post about my new plan for "hard coreness" :)

SORRY!

Check out my latest blog for updates on whats going on in My So Called Life :)

An Oak Tree Late in Winter...

I received my copy of Josh Rosenthal's book... and he asked us bloogers to blog about it.

It's pretty cool reading a book where you kinda know the places they are talking about, some of the people... all I can say so far is that his book is an excellent read. He has quite a way with words. You will laugh, maybe feel a slight tear.

All in all, people, you have to read "An Oak Tree Late in Winter".

It is not terribly wordy or complex, easy to read and not get bogged down in petty details that don't even matter...

Lastly let me say this, my husband is reading it, he stole it from me and wont give it back... Brendan is a very intelligent man, but NOT a reader... if he's getting in to this book, it HAS to be excellent!

For more on Josh Rosenthal, check out his web site, where you can sample some of his incredible music, or this. You wont be sorry...

reality talent shows

HOW do i get sucked in to these reality talent shows?! every time i say, "I'm not gonna watch, I'm not gonna watch" yet here i am watching America's Got Talent and i get all giddy when my faves get thru and so sad when they don't make it!

*sigh* at least i haven't gotten in to So You Think You Can Dance this season hehehe. i stopped watching American Idol years ago thank goodness! enough is enough! :)

nothing

i have absolutely nothing to post about really... i have been neglecting the gym, my asthma's been acting up and my nebulizers being a jerk, just blah blah blah

we attended my uncles funeral Saturday (7/10). it was surreal, sad and just something you never want to do, or see ur family go thru (you can read more at my cousins blog)

no one likes to see the people they love in pain because they have lost their only surviving parent, but there are other family issues popping up that i wont discuss here.... but are just killing me for them. as Jen says on her blog, I know God has a plan, it would just be nice to have some insight on what that plan IS!

please continue to pray for my family. we will probably be driving to Abilene one, two, however many, weekend(s) and help the girls go thru my aunts stuff. it will be sad, and painful, but also another opportunity to be with family and remember the good times :) that is what this past weekend was... it reminded me that, altho my uncle and i had not been close for many many years, we had some fun and great times when i was a child. not everyone gets to have an El Nerdo in their lives ~
