Well, I am over my sickness... life is back to normal speed again. In the days I am crazy busy with school and at night I'm busy teaching my adults! It keeps me on my toes. The weather here has been so cold and nasty that once I'm home I don't really want to go back out!
Last weekend, Hubby and I took a little get away to a B & B in PA. We were on a mission to look at cars... not necessarily buy one, but find one that we liked to replace mine. I had a very hard time with this. Our plan was to see four or five cars and then stay at this beautiful B & B.
As we drove down, I called the different dealers to see what the story on the cars was. The first one I talked to told me the car we wanted was sold, but he could find something else. Nope. The next one told me the same thing, however, he had the car I was looking for and it had just arrived on the lot two days before. Ok, we could look at that one. The next place told me the car we wanted to see would be dropped off on the lot later that day. Ok, we could see that after the other one.
So, the car we were intending to see was not one on our list. It was a Subaru Forster. It was much much newer than mine. Mine was 11 years old. She was getting tired! This one (they felt the need to tell me this over and over) was perfect! No scratches, no dents, no rust. Ok, yes, I'm a girl, but I don't care if it is pretty. I want a Forster and as long as it is running and will be my mini tank that is all I care about. Looks are over rated.
However, this car was beautiful. Not black, but a silver color. It was only owned by one other owner. He was a priest. This car was blessed. And, I admit, now it is mine.
We were not excepting to drive off the lot with it that day! However, they traded in my old black one and we left in the new shiny silver one. I cried when I said good-bye to my old one. She was a good car. And, they are not scraping her, they are going to re-sell her after they fix her up a bit!!! I was so happy that she will get another chance in life! I am way too attached to my Subaru!!
Today is Hubby's birthday. We were going to celebrate with his family for dinner, but they are sick and don't want us to catch it. I know he is sad about this so I am going to make him breakfast in bed and bake him a cake in a little while. I know it's not the same as having his family here with us, but it is the least I can do to try to cheer him up. Later, we will go out to dinner, just us.
