Vehicles Fixed and Back Home. . . and More. .. .

Finally got our truck back that I wrecked hitting the deer on my birthday and got my beautiful earrings back after having the posts changed, and I had a few days off to recoup from a busy work week.  I love my earrings they are so pretty but I think my hubby cheated.  He gave them to me for my Birthday and then gave them to me fixed on Valentine's Day.  I think he might have pulled a fast one on me.  LOL!!  Nahh we do not go in for BIG expensive things for V day any more.  I think we have gown out of that and I am quite fine with that too.  The truck looks great, what I could see of it in the dark, our insurance paid for it since the deer was low on cash.  It ended up costing a lot more than anyone had anticipated, I tell you what when I wreck a vehicle it is done.   I was relieved that I did not get points on my insurance though, two wrecks in three months eeeeek!!!  I think my next vehicle should be a TANK, I was just about side swiped again on the way home from work last night. Speaking of getting a new car; Sprat is excited because Big T will be getting his license soon, we hope anyway, and he will be getting my car and Big T will get his car.  Now these will not be theirs to keep but to use while they are under our roof or at least till they are out of college.  It is what my folks did for me and I feel I should be able to do the same for my kids.  This way you know that they are in reliable and safe vehicles, I would shudder to think what they would drive if they had to pay for or pick it out.  I remember my first car was passed from my mom to my sister and then to me kinda like how the boys will be in a few short months.  I am not real happy about Sprat getting my car, my car is nice and I really like it but I guess this way I can get a new something maybe that Tank I was talking about earlier.
I have been looking at cars for a while trying to decide what I would want if I had MY choice.  I have never really had a choice.  When we bought the blackberry Sprats first care and the car Big T will inherit strictly on safety and gas mileage and we needed something quick, we bought it when gas was upwards of $4 per gal.  We parked our Expedition at that time and it was strictly for hauling stuff.  Sprat and I shared the blackberry until I got my job and need a car of my own, LOL!!  Again, I need something that was reliable and good on gas and we needed it fairly quickly so I did not get the car that I wanted, I got what was there.  I did get my color though, I got a reddish car.  I have since fallen in love with my car, it drives great and gets great gas mileage.  It has some perks that I did not get on the blackberry but purely by happenstance.  MY car this time will truly be MY car, nobody else will get this one so, I am going to pick out what I want.  I am not buying rushed or whatever they have on the lot which is what happened the last two times.  Do not get the wrong impression here, whatever I buy will be a good deal and it will just be and new to me.  I am way over the buying the brand new car thing.   I am really and truly going to get something for ME.  LOL!! 
Stay tuned, I have not started test driving yet, I have just been window/internet shopping so far.
