In My Reach

Just near my husband's work is place where old cars are restored to their former glory.  I get to see them come together over time as I drop him off each day.  It's fun.  Most recently, a mustang was brought in.  And not just any mustang.  This one is a convertible.  And they are doing it right.  They are painting it red.

I have been wanting this car since I was in high school I think.  I just sat and stared at it for a while.  Then I took a picture, because as you know it will last longer!  Ryan asked me why I took the picture.  I told him because I really wanted that car, and then I said it, "but I can't have it."  Wait a second.  Who says I can't???  I can have any car I want thank you very much!  And I want that one!  I can hear it rumbling as I drive off.  Oh!  Can you feel the power?  Oh yeah!  Just look at it.  It was then that I corrected my mistake.  "Well, I can have it, it's just not practical for our family right now.   But I will have it someday."   Somehow that felt better than saying it was simply a no.  As I stated on Monday's Post, let them reach for the stars.  Well how can I show them that if I don't?

Do you reach for the stars?

Saw a newer black Mustang come out of the local gas station today. Ooh Boy! If James Bond had been an American, that would have been his car.

A Leave of Absence

Image
I just wanted let you all know that I am taking a (short) leave of absence. I was feeling under the weather last Friday, and Saturday I was a lump. By Monday I felt almost normal again. Tuesday even better! By Wednesday night the whole left side of my face felt completely packed. Today(Thursday) I am at death's door. Or maybe it's at mine! All I know is, I haven't felt this crappy in a long time. I spent the day at my mom's and mostly slept. Thanks Mom. Now Rich is home and he is running the show. I shall return...as soon as I stop feeling like this.

Dancing with the Stars---Dead

Image
That is how the show was introduced on Halloween night.  "Dead, from Hollywood, it's Dancing with the Stars!"  with your host, Tom Boooo-geron! Oh and Brooke who didn't get a play on her name.  Tonight, the dances are all spooktacularly themed.  Plus there is also a team dance. David and Kym 1-800-868-3406 David and Kym are dancing The Cha Cha and David wants to add magic to the act, so they bring in a professional magician to help with some basic tricks.  I enjoyed their Cha Cha.  It was fun. Len said it had  lots of tricks and treats and that David turned himself into a dancer! Bruno told him he has got the prestige, and that he was a natural at turning tricks. Carrie Ann said his improvement was phenomenal. She said he was polished and finessed, but that he needed to work on his holds. Scores: Carrie Ann:  8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 24  JR and Karina 1-800-868-3410 JR and Karina are dancing the Tango to Ghostbusters. Why do they give such ch
