I'm Dreaming of a Drop Top Car...

It's been an interesting day...you know what they say about leading an interesting life being a Chinese curse! ;) Mercifully, I will be working only three days this week. My five day long weekend will likely include a jaunt to the coast so I can play in the surf a bit before the kids return to school in two weeks' time. Can't wait.

After arriving late at church & enduring a longer-than-usual homily I personally found less than entertaining OR educational, we had lunch out & did some grocery shopping. After that & my workout, hubby & I took a little tour of several car lots without the kids along to get ideas for "the next vehicle." I've already told him my wishes as noted in the title. (After all, I'm 45 with two kids at least halfway through college, & I've NEVER owned a brand new car!) I'm still not looking for a brand new one, as I find them excessively pricey, but a decent USED convertible would be nice! (I'm starting my second childhood, perhaps?)

I can see myself tooling north for summertime visits with the top down, lots of goodies packed to minimize stopping for fast food, the CD player blasting, & the weather cooperating (as it didn't while we were looking--we got DRENCHED!).

I'll let you know when (if) I finally get the fun wheels...
