eight

  1. I recently finished a light novel that I enjoyed. 
  2. In the library of my Kindle I discovered that I'd bought the writer's sequel. Kindle purchases can be like that; so quick and it's done, and then you forget about it. 
  3. Until you begin reading and the story is so similar to the first that the first begins to pale and the second becomes a skimmer which I will likely remove from my iPad the second I finish this post.
  4. It used to be that I'd finish every book I started to its bitter end, but why bother? Life is too damn short to spend precious reading time on a crap story!
  5. I've started writing these posts throughout the week and yes, I did delete the book above in favor of this one, which is very good out of the block.
  6. I've been talking about my Jetta Wagon which I loved for awhile, how the rattling sunroof that rattled since it was new, had continued to rattle and it was rattling my nerves.
  7. Because it was fairly new and very low mileage, not to mention that it's trendy because it's diesel fuel and a boat-wagon, it had a decent trade-in value and that's what we did.
  8. And the mister found the BEST car for us as a family and much more suited to me as it's my car: a Mini Cooper Countryman.
  9. The last time I'd driven a mini was when there was one size only and it wasn't love. 
  10. This car, so far, is great! MUCH smaller than my Jetta boat, this car is a tight drive and very sporty, and the best thing is that I won't stress about street parking on the narrow streets near our home. 
  11. My boat-wagon wouldn't even fit properly in our driveway when the street was full and what's that? We have one child, and I don't need the possibility of sleeping in the back just because. 
  12. Especially since I'm not much of a camper.
  13. There was shopping this week with my girl who has cute style that is more conservative than my own and uniquely her which I love. 
  14. Tonight there's the symphony with the mister and tomorrow a bit of shooting with a friend.
And that my friends, is all I've got. Hope your weekend has been a good one!
