Happy Valentines Day To Me!!!!

Sometimes, the nicest gifts are the ones you buy for yourself. . . .

With that in mind, I parked the "Gas-Sucking Behemoth" in the dealership parking lot for the final time last week. In its place, a sleek little sport sedan with heated leather seats and an audio system I'd kill to have in my living room. (Note to self. . . Investigate replacing picture window with garage door. . LOL!!)

Why?. . . Because . . 1. The "GSB" was the last remnant of my old life. . . 2. I hated the "GSB" and my old life. . . and 3. After two years of working to get this house looking the way I want it (still many things to be done though), Lauren deserved a treat. Hell, this girl aint gettin' any younger!!!

I 'd been thinking about doing this for some time. But, I came up with one excuse after another why I shouldn't until I finally kicked myself in the ass and said; "why not??" I spent 25 years going without nice things. This house was the first thing I've done just for me in all that time. The car was just the next step. It's just a "thing," but I did it for ME. . . Not because it was practical, not because I had to. . . Just because that's what I wanted to do. . .

DAMN!!!! That felt good!!!!

Happy Valentines Day to all of you. . . Eat chocolate. . . Enjoy a nice bottle of wine. . . Buy a new car (that's for you Rocky!!!). . . You DESERVE IT!!!

HUGGSS!!
