I have been going through some of my old drafts that I never posted over the years (there are over a hundred) and I think I will post some that I find notable every once in awhile. They date back to 2010. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This post I found entertaining because I discuss the purchase of my “new” car (the same one I still drive to this day) as well as that time my father broke his fall with his face.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Post Title:\u00a0THIS THAT THE OTHER<\/strong>
\nDate: 2\/12<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been busy having drama the last few weeks!<\/p>\n

And then, I was reminded that I had a blog when I received a credit card charge for $190*<\/span> for the next two years of service, SO I GUESS I BETTER GET WITH IT.<\/p>\n

Anyway, since last we chatted, I gave up on my car, which chose to not start several days in a row due to cold\/low battery\/whatever, so in a fit of righteous indignation and spontaneity, I went and bought a new one. Hahaha! oops.<\/p>\n

I LOVE IT.<\/p>\n

I actually love it more than I have ever loved a car in my life. Probably because it’s the first car that I truly chose on my own in a color that is perfect for me. (ELECTRIC RASPBERRY aka brilliant turquoise!)<\/p>\n

To be fair, I chose the Saturn, but that had more to do with the fact that I needed a car badly, having totalled my truck and only having a very set budget, which the Saturn fell under. I liked the Saturn a lot, don’t get me wrong, but I never felt this all-consuming infatuation I have with the current car.<\/p>\n

Other things that have been going on include certain parental figures falling out of their trucks onto their face, which has resulted in the GROWTH OF A MUSTACHE which I am startled by every time I see this particular person.\u00a0I was up in Sacramento for a fun overnight stay, went to Stitches West, bought a new car, sold the old car, etc., etc.<\/p>\n

So that’s what’s been going on here.<\/p>\n

Oh and I got my watch, it is beautiful and I love it. Did you know Fossil makes Michael Kors (and Armani Exchange and several other high-end name brands?) When I found that out, I said forget it to the uber-expensive MK watch and hello to the MUCH more affordable Fossil watch, which is nearly identical.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The nice thing is that I used my very last Jason money and Christmas money from my grandma to purchase this, so it’s a nice piece that brings me comfort. And bling.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, if you don’t see me around, I’ve been pretty active on Pinterest – hope to see you there!<\/p>\n

*Boy, this went up – just paid $250 for 2 years of service in 2018. Joy! Rapture!<\/span><\/p>\n
