My eyes are bigger than my checkbook...
Hi there, good morning!!!
Ok, so TAXES! Got my W2 on Friday, moments after I left the building, so I had to wait until this morning to file my taxes... Fortunately, through the magnificent wonderful turbotax website, I was able to import all of my info from last year and had my taxes filed in about 15 minutes. They should be approved within 48 hours and then my refund will be direct deposited in a few days!! That and my check from Ford for winning the BDC contest should be here next week giving me a nice chunk of change to car shop with... I am in pre-shop mode right now, browsing our preowned inventory and comparing. Thus far, the best deal I have come across has been a 2002 Ford Focus ZX5. On account of my dedication and service to the fine company I am employed by, I can get this lovely little car for a few hundred dollars more than we paid for it - or around 6200!

This was of course the more logical choice after my 15 minutes of unrealistic gluttony. Including, but not limited to, the 2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport that would have ran me about 11 grand.
Fortunately the GIANT hand of reason slapped me nice and hard across the face reminding me that I wanted to pay for the car in cash and not have a car payment to go with my full coverage insurance...
So, there it is folks. My preliminary shopping has produced the above car to replace my -ahem- 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue, lol.
Have a great Monday readers!

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
