I need a change.. a kick in the butt, if you will. I have this overwhelming feeling of: blaahhhh..
And I think this may be beyond a weekend of getting loose at Foxwoods. I need a rut buster and I'm taking suggestions.
So far my idea is:
A new car! Queue the Price is Right theme song (when I was a kid, my mother watched religiously and when won cars, they would scream like they'd just won a billion dollars)
I'm currently obsessed with the Mini Cooper. I have 2 Mini owning friends who LOVE them. So I went to the Mini site, I created my own Mini online and when I registered so I could save the configuration, the terms you must agree to include a whole list** of funny things, one of which was: I agree to avoid ruts . OMG! It's a sign.. I must buy this car. Think of how much fun it will be!
Then the practical side of my brain says: This is insane. It's SO small. It's not practical. What about snow? AND there is nothing wrong with my current car, which is only 5 years old and paid off. This would mean adding on car payments - is that really what I want? Suze Orman would notapprove.
Then again, as I'm reading Eat, Pray, Love. Maybe I need to quit my job and travel to Italy, India and Indonesia for a year.
** the rest of the list is:
And I agree to change my locker combination to include the number 1964 (the year we won our first Monte Carlo rally).
I agree to chase squirrels around the park every now and then and giggle like a madman while doing it.
I agree to be more adventurous and try to avoid homogenized restaurant chains.
I agree to name my first-born Cooper.
I agree to bare the soles of my feet to the earth and feel grass, sand, stones, and streams.
I agree to watch the movie "The Italian Job" as soon as I can.
I agree to at least think strongly about learning to play a musical instrument.
I agree to consider painting the roof of my house in contrasting colors.
