And just a lot of stuff going on.....but first the car talk. I've been wanting a convertable...midlife crisis car....although I'm pretty sure I'm past midlife. I really love those Thunderbirds, and Porsche Boxsters, and the bigger BMW convertables....so we went to CarMax yesterday....this want we found:
the only problem is no back seat for Joey...and a very small trunk.
Then we looked at :
it has a back seat, the trunk is bigger.....but I tried to start it....and the salesman thought it was the battery....but it was the alternator.....so we looked online and found one in Garland that is a few years newer, a lot less miles and they are going to send it to Plano tomorrow......I want to drive both the T-bird and the BMW...before I decide.....there were no Boxsters locally...but even used....I've priced them and I don't want to spend that much....I'll keep y'all posted.
Friday was a day I'd like to forget as far as my MIL is concerned...I can't go into details right now....cause we are all in here watching the game....but I think maybe now that we've had a little more time together....that Alzhiemers is a definate probability....I share the details when I can let loose.
Today was also a major stressor as far as school is concerned also...we have a group project due today....and had not heard from one of the members of our group since Wednesday....I was getting nervous....called her...she finally called back and has been sick....
And....I finally weighed myself....only down .2.....but I'll take a lose over a gain any day!

oooooh
pretty cars. i was reading your post and thought, "wait a min, I have to go check where kimquilts lives...." and saw TX! Here in NM the weather is definitely starting to cool off so convertibles are probably not going off the lots too quickly.
congrats on being down 0.2! that's much better than being up!
Very very nice car!! Wish I could get a nice car - I am all ready for my mid life crisis!!! - but they are taxed so much here, even the average car costs a bomb. Sounds awesome - looking forward to seeing what you decide on!!
As for Alzeihmers - DH's grandmother was "very very forgetful" two years ago at our wedding and it's only recently that she has been diagnosed since it's such a major stigma here. This is so difficult for the family to deal with. All the best.
I don't envy your position right now with the MIL. Sounds like you are headed for tough times. I hope things improve GREATLY for you and your family.
Now is a time for you to really say...ommmmmm!! Just fade away into a yoga state of mind and release all the tiring thoughts.
You want to be....and I already am one of those "granola eating, hippy type, yoga loving people"....everyone should learn to be one, if they can't then just be one in your heart.
Blessings to you for strength, support and peace. Chargail

Do you have an appointment yet with a Doctor?
