skibigsky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I really am celebrating. Yeah, so…. I’m all over the angst of turning 37. It’s not like there is anything I can do about it, right? Yeah… so, it is what it is. Mr. V. is still out of commission, so I have been ordered to go to the one classy custom jewelry store in town, and ‘go buy myself something’ for my birthay. Heh. Hand me the credit card, baby! Actually, when he was getting his watch adjusted, he put a decent deposit down on an opal and diamond ring that I have admired. And it is beautiful. I just didn’t spend enough time perusing all my options in the store. So….. I’m going to go back – tomorrow or Thursday – depending on the weather – and scope things out. I’m actually thinking about a pendant (a nice one….), but I’m not really sure what they’ve got. So, gee, I’ve got to go jewelry shopping. Damn. *grin. Actually, the only issue is that the store is on the touristy Main Street, and I hate trying to find parking there….. But I think I’ll manage, given that this is now basically the off-season for a couple of weeks. Speaking of it being the off season, it’s snowing. Again. Bleah. I’m REALLY done with snow. I’ve got my first autocross this weekend (will likely drive the Mini, although there is possibility that I will drive the Miata….), and I want it to be warm and sunny. Doubtful. But I’d really like it to be about 80 degrees and sunny. Right. Now. But in happy news? I am almost COMPLETELY debt free. I still owe on my car (1 more year), and the ATV ($5k). But other than that?!? I am finally, after 15 years, debt free. Yeah, I owe on the house, but even in the current market, I’m doing well on it, so I’m not worried. And all of that is actually more worth celebrating to me than my impending old age. I’m kidding about the old age. I’m a spring chicken. Especially compared to all my friends, most of whom are seeing 50 very clearly in their rearview mirrors…. So, I think that for my birthday, no matter what jewelry I settle on, I’m going to buy myself an 18+ year old bottle of scotch. Happy days!!! Oh yeah; and I 're-did' the driveway with my new snowblower skills, and now the driveway is PERFECT. Go me. 9:09 p.m. - 08 April 2008 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
