What Kind of Car Am I?

Your Summer Ride is a Mustang Convertible

You're out to experience the very best of summer. From the best beaches to the best tan, you want it all!

What's Your Summer Ride?

This is funny, because I put that I like the mountain cabin and off-roading, but also like the smell of beaches best!!! If I could have any of three vehicles, it would be (in no particular order)...a Mustang convertible (used to have a 'stang, but w/ a hard roof), a Jeep Wrangler (still liking the "convertible-ness" of it, taking the top off), or a VW Beetle convertible....are you noticing a theme here? I like the wind in my face, the sun shining down on me, and the fresh air "wafting" around and surrounding me!!! LOL If I could have any of those vehicles and NOT be a convertible (except the Jeep, obviously), I'd take them too!!! Heck, right now I'd take ANY vehicle that doesn't have mechanical failure!!! (Did I post about our car problems yet?!?)

So yeah, car trouble....the SUV was dying and costing too much money to keep up, so we got rid of it. The van (nasty old minivan that it is) had a "water pump" problem, or so we thought....yeah, it ended up being a blown head gasket! So, it's in the shop, the SUV is gone, and we're driving a rental for the week! OY! I'm no longer hoping to "get ahead" any time soon, I just want to "catch up" someday soon and stop trying to tread water and having something pulling my foot to drag me under before I can catch my breath from the last dunk! "Gasp!!!"

On a different note....yeah, not looking forward to Hurricane Wilma at all!!! She needs to just go away!!! I'm not wishing "her" on anyone else, but don't come to Tampa!!!

I forgot to add...

that the AC has been fixed, and the faucets have been replaced. Still have rust in the water (hoping to convince the landlord/realtor to get a treatment system put in), and the electrical stuff hasn't been addressed at all yet. Our stuff is still in storage and will be for a little while longer....that's the worst part I think, not having our "stuff"! Not that I need "stuff", I'm learning to live without as much as I used to like to think I "needed" (yeah, lay-offs, resignations, etc. will do that to you!!!). But, it would be nice to have a cutting board, regular dishes (instead of paper plates or my picnic set), actual metal tableware, a real bed, and a table and chairs to have enough room for the whole family to sit together at a meal! I don't "need" that new sofa I would love to have, or things like that. But the stuff that I do have, it would be nice to actually have access to and use of it!!! I'm sure the kids would love to have just "some" stuff! But hey, a computer, game cube, and a skate board haven't been too bad in dealing with not having the bikes, Barbies and Bionicle sets.

So life's not great, but it could be a lot worse.......and I don't even want to go there in my thoughts!!! Things are going to get better soon, they must!!! ;)
