Today’s creative thing is inspired by my husband finding a really good deal on a car he liked.

It’s a performance piece called “American Woman Begrudgingly Ventures into the Next Highest Bracket of Debt by Purchase of Very Red Very Fast Car That Runs out of Gas during the Test Drive then Small Part Slips Off a Pedal Rendering Car Brakeless Several Hours After Purchase.”

And now I am exhausted. Who knew purchasing a used car was an all-day task? So this, alas, is my Thing today.

Yes, my husband fixed whatever slipped off the brake pedal. (Or whatever happened. I’m a girl, so I don’t know.) And he says it’s OK, it’s not going to be a big deal, the car is still worth what we’re paying for it.

Here’s to the next five years! No more fast food diet, Fox Hollow Coffee, Hobby Lobby excursions, Ocean Springs road trips, new outfits, bottled wine (hello, Franzia)… unless we get raises. COME ON BOSS!

The things you do to make the one you love smile.

Next big purchase with money we don’t have is MIIIIIIINE.

Alrighty so I haven’t been making a thing a day like intended. I skipped a few days and then on day 15 and 16 I decided to take a break from sewing and take up car assembly. Yesss…me and the kid have been building cars the past couple days. First we tried our hands out on some Lego’s and then we moved on to bigger and better things, like building the 2003 Viper. Vrooom, vrooom! I think I see a future career for us with Dodge.
