Thursday's Thoughts

Not much to say today, just felt like putting something up here. So we had some guests over last night that stayed waaaaaay too late. JUST KIDDING. It was James and Lynne (and Isaac), and they can never stay too late. We started a movie at 10:30. That was the first mistake, especially considering how old we are; we just don't have that youthful stamina that teenagers enjoy. So anyway, I finally woke them up at 11:30, cuz Lynne was asleep on one couch, Melissa on another, and James and Isaac on the floor. It took a while to wake up our wives, but they do a lot, so it's understandable that they were exhausted. I tell ya, getting to work at 6:30 in the morning is starting to get to me. I thought it would get easier as I kept doing it, but no. It's just as hard every morning. I have to convince myself to get up. I've found one thing that helps though. I set my alarm one hour earlier than I need to, so when it goes off, I can give myself the luxury of another hour of sleep. I know it might not make sense to you, but it feels kind of like I'm giving myself more sleep that way. I don't have to get up right away, I can snooze for a whole extra hour! Yeah, so it made sense to me...

So the week's going by pretty fast huh? Did you see that Lamborghini put out a new car? Yeah, called the Reverton (whatever). It's pretty cheap, only 1.4 Million dollars. Oh, that's before tax. They're only going to make 20 of them, and they sold out in 4 days. that's disgusting. sooooo much money for a freakin' car. sheesh. Don't get me wrong - it's a gorgeous car and I'd love to have one, but for 1.4 mil, I could do so many other things like buying a house and putting my kids through college and buying my wife lots of diamonds. I can't imagine spending that much money on anything really. I could spend a hundred thousand in an afternoon, but a million-four is a LOT. If you don't believe me about the hundred thou, leave a comment, and i'll make a list. It's scary how much money I could spend with the ability. maybe that's why I'm not a millionaire. Here's an interesting question... other than a house, what's the most expensive thing you want, or would buy if money (or rather a lack of it) was no hinderance. Don't forget to vote on the poll. You can select multiple answers this time. Better get back to work. Later,

I don't want to know what you would spend 1.4 million dollars or even one hundred thousand dollars on...

But! If money were no object? Gee whiz...there are so many things. Besides a house, a big truck for my husband, one for me...definitely some diamonds. Perhaps a vacation home somewhere nice that we could all visit? A trip to Europe? I can't decide. I'm too frugal to think about things such as these.

*grin*

Ooooh. The first thing that comes to mind is a house with plenty of room to grow. The next is a mustang for you. :) And a European vacay with J&L sounds great too. Spain and Italy and France...I could do that.

Oh goodness, I dunno how someone can spend that much on a car. Anyway, I just realized that Isaac is an awesome name to name a kid. It reminds me of sacrifice, love, Genisis, Abraham, God's covenant, and so much more. I'm sorry; I'm random. So, good post man. Later.

good post, my comments are short but I hope to expand. That's part of being a non-words person.

I'd go to Madrid, Venice, Vatican City, Pisa, Rome, Salibury, Dublin, Moscow, Paris... all while flying first-class in the non-crying-toddler-section.
