The question of the day...

Do I pay $5000 to repair my car (needs a new transmission... ouch!) or trade it in and get something newer??? I think the poor thing is only worth 6 or 7k so it seems a little silly to put 5 more into it but, car payments are just so icky.....

Maybe Santa will leave a new car under my Christmas tree....


P.S. Just to lighten my mood....


(Thanks Paulette! I needed that... )

Is it the weekend yet???

OK.... my brain is just too fried this week to write much of anything... Haha! It's been a crazy week with book edits, cover designs, print bids, web site launches, partner agreements, etc. While its always challenging, and fun in a work-a-holic kind of way... I am very happy that the week is ALMOST over! Tonight we are off to the Symphony and tomorrow night we are going to the Ballet with a fun after-party for the Studio D crowd. Can't wait! :)

So... since I have very little brain power left today... I am simply posting a funny joke that Mom emailed me today. :) It cracked me up and reminded me of a little trip that Troy and I made to Home Depot just last week. Haha!

Three men were hiking through a forest when they came
upon a large raging violent river. 

Needing to get on the other side, the first man prayed,
"God, please give me the strength to cross the river."
Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was
able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost
drowned twice.

After witnessing that, the second man prayed,
"God, please give me strength and the tools to
cross the river."
Poof! God gave him a rowboat and strong arms
and strong legs and he was able to row across in
about an hour after almost
capsizing once.

Seeing what happened to the first two men, the
third man prayed, "God, please give me the strength,
the tools and the intelligence to cross the river.
Poof! He was turned into a woman. She checked the map,
hiked one hundred yards up stream and walked across
the bridge.
