Cloudy with afternoon spots of rain....

Alas, after holding my car in the shop for an extra two days I was told that precious(for those who don't know that's the name of my car), could be picked up at the minimal price of $398.00!!! This was supposed to be a $40.00 in and out repair!! I digress... Back to being stranded. Although the mechanics aren't far from my local bus stop , in this cold weather walking simply wasn't an option. My dear girlfriend Lah came to the rescue :) I officially throne her as the 'Jill of all trades' there is no substantial or frivolous information that she doesn't know,.. Plus she's there for you in a jam! What I'm battling today is whether 2010 will be precious's last year. She is getting older and although i love her, she may be approaching the next couple of years as a costly expense. I have not paid a car note since 2003 and the thought of spending money on a new car just doesn’t seem to excite me; a monthly payment will be sooo expensive. No Micky D's Mcchicken, orange drink without ice..No 'I will take both those shoes one in black one in brown...No extra eyelash fills!!! OMgosh, the possible negative cutbacks are horrendous to even consider. Therefore I’ve come to an instantaneous decision...precious will live on until the good Lord takes her!
