Oh Averice. How you pain me.

I have a problem. I was feeling rather lonely the other night, so you want to know what I did to make myself feel better?

Went online shopping for things I knew I could never have. At least not currently.

First it was the puppies on KSL. Yes, I spent two hours looking at adorable puppies on KSL and wishing I could buy one. Well, wishing I had the money to buy one, and then buying one. There were so many adorable little pups on there! I absolutely died with I came across a Maltese/ Rat Terrier mix. SHE WAS SO CUTE. I think I screamed at the screen for a good minute or two. Katy was concerned for me. I mean, I was looking at puppies and gushing over how absolutely adorable they were for two hours. It also strengthened my resolve to have a puppy first when I get married. I want that to be our first child because if we can't take care of a dog, we can't take care of a baby. Plus I just want a dog. I miss my puppy (who definitely isn't a puppy anymore.) when she isn't around-- which is all the time. Dogs just make me happy. Just about as happy as the next item I went shopping for.

Cars.

Not just any cars.

Muscle cars.

But, they weren't just any old classic either. I have two classics that I would absolutely die to own either of them. The first has been my longtime dream and that is a 1973 Dodge Charger Rallye Edition. I found the perfect one, it's black with the white leather interior I want, manual trans and factory air and heating. She was gorgeous!! She was only going to cost me $18,900 too. I found a `73 Charger that wasn't the Rallye edition for a more manageable price at $12,000 though. She wasn't as pretty, needed some body work to get her where I want her. A new paint job is a must. I'm sorry but I refuse to drive a white car. If I'm going to have my classic, she's going to be sleek and black.

The next car is a 1967 Chevrolet Impala and oh boy is she beautiful. Now, I know that anyone who looks up this car is going to be all, well Alex you only want this car because Dean from Supernatural drives it. Correct in one aspect, but completely wrong in another. I just want a classic muscle car, and so far, those (besides the SS Camaro from `66) are the only ones that I reaaaaaaaally want. Anyway, this beauty was in pristine condition and had most of the original parts. She's in a dealership, which means she's been taken care of. That's a plus! She was yellow, and an ugly yellow at that. Definitely repainting that one.

And then I spent all afternoon after getting home from church shopping for cars.

I don't have a problem.

I can stop any time I want.
